Remnant

Carving into the flesh
This cross so heavy
There is no rest
Betrayal, deception
Whips of dishonesty
Corruption, Oppression
For this reality
Triumph in tribulation
Nothing can stop us now
These scars will serve
As a reminder
Of shifting, and sifting
Shaking us all apart
Can we take the pressure
Of a refiner’s fire?
Narrow is the way
And few who will find it
Wide is the gate to destruction
The remnant will remain
The relic of promise
Sacrifice to regain
Our rightful inheritance
Loss and liberation
Paradox of this life
It’s shedding light
In the dark of the night
Oh eyes, they see
But they are still so blind
Their minds are open
But they know nothing now
Narrow is the way
And few who will find it
Wide is the gate to destruction
The remnant will remain
The relic of promise
Sacrifice to regain
Our rightful inheritance
