The Lion in the Pit

[Intro] [distorted electric guitar riff, staccato strings, heavy kick drum] (Ooh) [Verse 1] [rhythmic male vocals, palm-muted guitar] Snow on the ground Fire in my chest Yeah, lying in the pit [choir vocals enter] I take one more step Yeah, but now you saw the tracks in the snow Saw the pit where the danger goes Could've turned, could've walked away But face stepped down where fear would stay No crowd, no lights, no battle cry Just a hungry roar and the will to fight Cold air cutting, heartbeat loud But a man of God doesn't back down now Fear says run, faith says go I don't fight alone and my Father knows [Chorus] [full band enters, anthemic vocals, brass swells] There's a lion in the pit but I'm going down Fear is loud but he won't wear the crown Snow on the ground, fire in my chest By the strength of the Lord I take one more step There's a lion in the pit but I won't turn back I was not made to fold under attack When the darkness close and the roar gets loud Faith steps in and fear backs down (Yeah) [Verse 2] [drums drop to a hip-hop beat, sub-bass synth] It's weight, it's a lion, this hill is a beast This pain wants to put a light out of me This road keeps asking if I still believe But I got a promise stronger than what I see Every breath is a prayer in motion Every drop of sweat is devotion I don't need easy, I need true I need the strength that only comes from You Fear says run, faith says rise I see the pit but I lift my eyes [Chorus] [distorted guitar power chords, driving drums] There's a lion in the pit but I'm going down Fear is loud but he won't wear the crown Snow on the ground, fire in my chest By the strength of the Lord I take one more step There's a lion in the pit but I won't turn back I was not made to fold under attack When the darkness close and the roar gets loud Faith steps in and fear backs down [Bridge] [staccato strings, rhythmic chanting] Spirit in your head (Oh) Fire in your chest (Oh) God's strength in your arms (Oh) Holy Spirit's got your back [vocal intensity increases] I don't need to feel brave to obey Your voice I don't need to see the wind to make my choice Yeah, yeah, You are with me in the valley You are with me in the fight So I step into the shadow carrying Your light One step closer, one breath deeper One heart steady, my God is stronger [Chorus] [full orchestral and rock arrangement] There's a lion in the pit but I'm going down Fear is loud but he won't wear the crown Snow on the ground, fire in my chest By the strength of the Lord I take one more step There's a lion in the pit but I won't turn back I was not made to fold under attack When the darkness close and the roar gets loud Faith steps in and fear backs down [Outro] [strings and brass fade] Snow on the ground (Oh) Fire in my chest (Oh) Lying in the pit I take one more step
