Steadfast

Narrow path of pain Never ceasing process Tempted to refrain From the grueling distress Frail bones from the cold And scoffers in the plains Though others fall away Hope still remains Weathered by the rain Along the narrow path of pain Steadfast, overcome Scars of the past Steadfast, You sustain From first to last Author, Perfecter Defender, sustain Weathered by the rain Along the narrow path of pain Steadfast, overcome Scars of the past Steadfast, You sustain From first to last Ascending gradually Losing grip, as fingers slip Down below the endless pit Keep eyes fixed on the summit Fall seven times Rising eight Fall seven times Hope still remains All things, every trial and pain One day will all fade away We know the narrow path leads to redemption Though all shall fade, hope still remains
