Perseverence of the saints

Let me drown in an ocean of devotion
let my joy be in service and love my emotion
let me be closer that your right hand
tighter than your left hand and let me be a godly man
'til the day i die, 'til the fire's just smoke
i will go for broke 'til my last word's spoke
if i limp then i will run with a limp
i'll win some and lose some, but i'll make my attempt
Last breath before the candle flickers out
i will speak the name of jesus.
I will keep fightin' to the knockout, even if i'm knocked out
hittin' hard, i'm hittin' for the belt
my soul will keep going 'til my body buckles out
until my bloody knuckles carry us to heaven by the truckfulls
i will be as stubborn as a pitbull,
neutral as a nazi, resolute like ghandi
i will keep preachin' 'til i'm took out,
'til i'm heaven en route
no sell out!
