The world is fading, shadows spread Truth exchanged for lies instead The voice of culture loud and proud But I won't kneel, I won't be bowed Called to live, set apart Faith still burning in my heart Though darkness rises all around I will not lay my armor down This is holy resistance in a dark age Standing firm on the ancient page You can silence, shame me, push me aside But the truth in me will not die I was born for such a time as this Holy resistance, with clenched fists The powers rage, the beast is crowned And every voice must bow or drown But there's a remnant who won't fall They serve the King above it all We won't wear what we're told to wear Our hope is not in comfort here We're sealed by faith, not by fear And we won't bend when trial is near They may change the laws But I serve a higher 'cause Even alone, I will stand still My strength is rooted in His will This is holy resistance in a dark age Still I stand when the nations rage Though the world may turn its face I will walk in truth and grace I was born for such a time as this Holy resistance with clenched fists Nothing amiss, nothing amiss
