Through the Thick

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every step I take the ground resists
Every word I speak gets swallowed by the mist
The old voice says turn around go back
The old road is safe the old road is black
But I have seen what waits behind
And I will not be redefined

[Pre-Chorus]
The thorns are pulling at my skin
The forest doesn't want me pressing in
But something louder than the dark
Is beating underneath my chest a spark

[Chorus]
Through the thick of it
I will not turn around
Through the thick of it
My feet are on the ground
Through the thick of it
The branches cut and tear
Through the thick of it
I know that You are there

[Verse 2]
The lies I carried wore like chains
The comfort was a cage with different names
Each habit was a hand that pulled me down
Each pattern was a wall without a sound
But walls can break and chains can rust
And everything I built returns to dust

[Breakdown]
I almost stopped
I almost turned
I almost let the old man return
The weight of this was more than me
The weight of this brought me to my knees

[Bridge]
But knees are where the strongest prayers are born
And broken ground is where the seeds are sown
I will not die inside this war
I was not made to lay down on this floor

[Final Chorus]
Through the thick of it
I will not turn around
Through the thick of it
My feet are on the ground
Through the thick of it
Let every branch and thorn
Bear witness to the man that's being born
