LION HEARTED by: nocito's praise Cold wind… boots in snow… Chain rattles… distant lion roar… Heartbeat kicks in… “GOD’s not looking for comfortable hearts… HE’s looking for lion-hearted faith.” Snow falling down in the valley pit Every reason in the world to quit Lion breathing in the freezing air Fear said run, but faith walked there Benaiah with a Holy Fire Not built by comfort, forged by trial Hands bleeding but his eyes stayed fixed GOD rewards the ones who risk Esther trembling at the throne Joseph in a prison all alone Nehemiah with a wall half-built Paul still singing while chained in without guilt Conditions screamed, “This is the end” But conviction said, “GOD still wins” What if I fall? What if I break? What if the storm doesn’t move away? But GOD… But GOD will make a way But GOD still reigns But GOD is stronger than the fear I face Lion-hearted Run into the war Faith ain’t safe when Heaven calls you forward Pit-tested Built in the pain Snowy-day faith in The Lion’s Name Conviction over conditions Eyes on The KING, not the opposition When fear says run — We say GOD will Lion-hearted standing still..? Never. David ran at a giant’s scream Joshua marched where walls looked mean Peter stepped where the waves were wild JESUS walked to The Cross despised Faith moves first before it sees Trusting GOD on your knees Proverbs says lean not on your own When GOD is leading, move bold Ecclesiastes warned the afraid Waiting on perfect keeps dreams delayed Safe faith is an oxymoron Kingdom fire is born in storms Rhino faith with my head down low Straight through hell ’cause my GOD says go What if the pit is where I grow? What if the pressure makes diamonds glow? What if the breaking becomes the build? But GOD… Turns wounds to wisdom still Turns trials into strength and will Lion-hearted Run into the war Faith ain’t safe when Heaven calls you forward Pit-tested Built in the pain Snowy-day faith in The Lion’s Name Conviction over conditions Eyes on The KING, not the opposition When fear says run — We say GOD will Lion-hearted standing still..? Never! The pit ain’t punishment It’s preparation The delay ain’t denial It’s development NASCAR pit stop for a greater race GOD builds warriors in hidden places Edison failed but learned the spark Lincoln walked through seasons dark Jordan cut, Job pushed out Still they rose through fear and doubt So choose — Bitter or better? Fear or surrender? Comfort or Kingdom? Conditions or conviction? GOD searches the earth… Looking for hearts fully committed Not casual Not halfway Not double-minded So when the lion roars… Run toward the battle When the pit gets dark… Grow there When fear says “what if”… Answer back: “GOD WILL.” Lion-hearted Even in the snow Even when the valley feels cold Pit-tested Still unashamed There’s resurrection running through my veins Promotion follows obedience Miracles follow allegiance Small things matter in Heaven still Faithful now for the greater will So I’ll move before I see ’Cause my GOD moves when I believe Lion-hearted Till the end Conviction strong GOD within. Lion roar… “The righteous are bold as lions…” “The righteous are bold as lions…”
