Story behind the song
This was the first song cut for the album and it was so good it inspired the title of the album.
Lyrics
Verse 1:
I know all of us have struggled at one time
Gropin' thru the darkness, seekin' the sunshine
Tired of the fact we have to run blind
In the middle of a war zone, on the frontlines
Thinkin' no one understands what we go thru
And that was me before, all the things I could show you
Standin' toe to toe with the Angel of Death
Waitin' for His orders to strangle my breath
No angles were left for me to escape
Any chances I'd take were left up to fate
What if I make a mistake? How can I create
A better life for my fam if i'm in my grave?
But God is great, He caused me to step back
And examine my path so I could respect that
Before another blessing could rush past me
Deep in my soul, I felt Him ask me
He said...
Hook:
Can you deny what ya heart holds sacred?
The years of pain, fears and strain - Will you fight it or take it
To the point you didn't think you would make it
All because of the struggles that ya facin'
(twice)
Verse 2:
Father, I thank You for all You've given me
All the times I messed up, You've forgiven me
Now I know the truth, You live in me
I'm thankful to You though I used to scoff for 1 Timothy
Chapter one, verses 12 and 13
Then I bathed in the Blood of Jesus to get my dirt clean
He washed my sins away so when I begin to pray
"Please guide me as I begin this day"
What can I say? I look back at my past
I'd be lyin' if I said all the sadness is passed
Knowin' at any minute that I might fold
But when I went thru the tests and kept faith like Job
Then the truth flashed in my mind like strobe
No matter what He'll guide me down the right road
Turn all my burdens into a light load
So I express all my praise thru the mic chord
Sayin....
Hook:
Can you deny what ya heart holds sacred?
The years of pain, fears and strain - Will you fight it or take it
To the point you didn't think you would make it
All because of the struggles that ya facin'
(twice)
Verse 3:
So how can I deny what my heart holds sacred?
It's right in my grill, I have to face it
Cuz each blessing we pass by is wasted
And Satan is waitin', standin' adjacent
Ready to grope when the door is opened
Hopin' for a quick fix, he provides the dope then
We fall to new lows
But Jesus is there, He always cared and got a few holes
To show for it, He didn't forfeit the abuses, it's
The reason why He went to the Crucifix
And we receive Eucharist, the body and blood
His sacrifice embodies the love
Of God, it's so real I can feel it in my veins
It got me open like window panes, yeah
So as I stare at the sky on anotha' day
I'm reminded of the reasons that I love to pray
Sayin...
Hook:
Can you deny what ya heart holds sacred?
The years of pain, fears and strain - Will you fight it or take it
To the point you didn't think you would make it
All because of the struggles that ya facin'
(twice)
Outro
Father, thank You for opening my heart to the things that are sacred
