1. Tower of Strength
Encircled, ensnared
My enemies have laid siege to me
Oppressed, inflicted
Poisonous arrows aimed at me
Victimized, terrorized
Those who hate me gather for attack
Grieved, deceived
Wrapped in drapes so black
There is but one
To whom I can run
I know only of one place
Where I'll truly be safe
I'm being chased like
An animal through darkened woods
Vicious beasts
Hounding at my tail
Ominous shadows
Crouching down over me
Their hands of ice
Stretching out to grasp my heart
Who can save me
Who'll release me
Where can I flee
Where, but to thee
But I'll escape from my foes
From the stalking wolves
From these haunting ravens
I've found a safe haven
The LORD I will proclaim
I hide within his name
My fortress in times of war
I find protection within your walls
My keep, my stronghold
Well tried since days of old
My shield, my eternal defence
My refuge, my tower of strength
Who can save me
Who'll release me
Where can I flee
Where, but to thee
In here evil cannot reach
These gates they cannot breach
Fog of deception cannot infiltrate
Unholy weapons cannot penetrate
You are my sanctuary
Your love, unconditionally
Jesus
Christ
So
Who will save you?
2. Istid
Vi g�r i v�ra f�ders sp�r
�ren g�r men v�rt m�l vi aldrig n�r
Sp�ren i den fallna sn�n de leder oss till d�dens port
Den minner om istiden, en svunnen tid vi gl�mmer fort
Den tiden ligger bakom oss men framf�r finns en annan tid
D�dens port �r �nnu vid, redo f�r en sista strid
Striden kommer nu � var f�r jag kraft?
Kraften att strida � mot isen i min sj�l?
Vi g�r i v�ra f�ders sp�r
�ren g�r men v�rt m�l vi aldrig n�r
I ensamhetens vr� � d�r finns det n�got
I ensamhetens vr� � d�r ser jag n�got
Men m�rkrets makter hindrar mig
M�rkets makter f�rblindar mig
M�rkets makter binder mig
D�den, den omsluter mig
S� � vart v�nder jag mig nu � nu
D�rren st�ngd � allting m�rkt och kallt
Jag har mitt val, v�gar jag g� ut
Vi g�r i v�ra f�ders sp�r
�ren g�r men v�rt m�l vi aldrig n�r
Sp�ren i den fallna sn�n de leder oss till d�dens port
Den minner om istiden, en svunnen tid vi gl�mmer fort
Den tiden ligger bakom oss men framf�r finns en annan tid
D�dens port �r �nnu vid, redo f�r en sista strid
Striden kommer nu � var f�r jag kraft?
Kraften att strida � mot isen i min sj�l?
Jag m�ste trampa nya sp�r
Som leder mig, till mitt m�l
I ensamhetens vr� � d�r fann jag n�got
I ensamhetens vr� � �r ej s� ensamt
Ljuset nu omsluter mig
Ljuset nu finns inom mig
Ljuset nu g�r mig fri
Istiden �r f�rbi
S� � vart v�nder jag mig nu � nu
D�rren �ppen � sikten milasvid
Jag har mitt val, v�gar jag g� ut
3. A Glimpse
4. Journey into Afterlife
Born into this world
With all of its complexity
The strings of life intertwined
Into braids twisted around my head
Like wriggling snakes of confusion
How I first thought things were
Later I realized it was not
What I once in my youth had been taught
From deep within me
Grows a desperate need for help
I'm trying to put into words
My innermost scream
From high above a mighty voice
Cuts through my darkened sky
Rebuking the winds, bidding my
Roaring waves to be still
I am the Way, the Truth
And the Life
No one comes to the Father
Except through me
You looked for guidance, I am the Way
You asked for answers, I am the Truth
You longed for meaning, I am the Life
And the Father is the goal
(For) your journey into afterlife
Leaving my childhood
My journey begins
With my ship I'm forced to set sail
On a sea of swirling chaos
Of thoughts and feelings
An amorphous mess of sadness
Of regrets and anxieties
On an ocean of emotions
Driven forth by stormy winds
That tears my sails asunder
Who can guide me through
This raging storm
From high above a mighty voice
Cuts through my darkened sky
Rebuking the winds, bidding my
Roaring waves to be still
I am the Way, the Truth
And the Life
No one comes to the father
Except through me
You looked for guidance, I am the Way
You asked for answers, I am the Truth
You longed for meaning, I am the Life
And the father is the goal
(For) your journey into afterlife
When I was a child
I talked like a child
I thought like a child
I reasoned like a child
When I became a man
I put childish ways behind
Now we see a poor reflection
As in a mirror
Then we shall see
Face to face, now I know
In part, then I shall know
Fully, even as I am fully known
5. Legacy
