HONOR

Snippet

“If you aren't willing to face your demons-if you can't find the courage to take on your fear and hurt and anger-you might as well wrap them up with a bow and give them to your children. Because they will be carrying the same thing...unless you are willing to do the work”

― R.A. Dickey  Wherever I Wind Up: My Quest for Truth, Authenticity and the Perfect Knuckleball

Scripture

By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world. 4 You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:2-4 NASB

Resolute a stance of defiance

Always teetering on the brink

Nothing can hold you back when

When you're not holding back a thing

Open arms we embrace tomorrow

Closed fists, tarnishing today

We're not afraid to open our mouths and scream

We believe in what we say

[Chorus:]

Like a whisper to the dusk

An oath against the shadows

Denying the dark

Fight fight fight 'til the break of dawn

Like a prayer unto the dawn

In arms against the shadows

Destroying the dark

Fight fight fight 'til the break of dawn

Covered in sweat and blood

Yet still our heads held high

Actions have consequences

When you live for foolish pride

Been careful not to lose ourselves

Stand together one passion, one hate

We believe in a better tomorrow

We believe in what we say

[Chorus:]

Like a whisper to the dusk

An oath against the shadows

Denying the dark

Fight fight fight 'til the break of dawn

Like a prayer unto the dawn

In arms against the shadows

Destroying the dark

Fight fight fight 'til the break of dawn

Fight fight fight 'til the break of dawn

We'll fight out battles we'll wage our wars

Settle the scores with honor and blood

We'll wear our scars like medals of hope

Like medals of hope

Like medals of hope

We'll fight out battles we'll wage our wars

Settle the scores with honor and blood

We'll wear our scars like medals of hope

Like medals of hope

Like medals of hope

[Chorus:]

Like a whisper to the dusk

An oath against the shadows

Denying the dark

Fight fight fight 'til the break of dawn

Like a prayer unto the dawn

In arms against the shadows

Destroying the dark (whisper to the dusk)

In arms against the shadows

Destroying the dark (whisper to the dusk)

In arms against the shadows

Destroying the dark (whisper to the dusk)

Fight fight fight 'til the break of dawn

Fight fight fight 'til the break of dawn

Fight fight fight 'til the break of dawn

Fight fight fight 'til the break of dawn

Sentence Prayer

Almighty god,

You see that we have no power of ourselves

To help ourselves;

Keep us both outwardly in our bodies

And inwardly in our souls.

That we may be defended from all adversities

Which may happen to the body,

And from all evil thoughts

Which may assault and hurt the soul.  Amen
