Under The Blood Lyrics - Bride

Contradiction is the word which best suits this life 

A life of right and wrong, where wrong is twisted into right (Romans 1:18) 

The heart is exploding and the mind is racing (James 4:14) 

And we find ourselves running out of human breath (Proverbs 10:27; Isaiah 1:5) 

The stale life of routine wavers and stagnates 

And we experiment and toil in the fertile ground 

The answers are seldom given to unpopular questions 

Justify our hearts by what we selfishly hope to achieve (Job 9:20) 

I will live my life 

Under the blood (Exodus 33:22; 12:7; 1 Peter 1:2) 

All signs point deliberately the other way (Ephesians 4:14; Matthew 7:13) 

The road is slow and misery will be our company (Ecclesiastes 8:6) 

For to find true peace in this life we must forsake 

All reason and conscience and cleave to God's faith
