Captive Thoughts: A Journey of Redemption and Perseverance
Lyrics
I'm taking my thoughts, I'm keeping them captive, I'm holding them bound to the will of God
I am consciously controlling my thoughts and submitting them to God's will.
Always watching, always active but sometimes I fail and feel like a fraud
Constant vigilance, but occasional feelings of failure and impostor syndrome.
I'm taking my thoughts, I'm keeping them captive, I'm holding them bound to the will of God
Repetition of line 1, emphasizing the commitment to God's will.
So that when time falls, I can stay strong, keep it down for the real and the law
Preparing to endure challenges, staying strong for what is genuine and lawful.
Always watching, always active but sometimes I fail and feel like a fraud
Similar to line 2, acknowledging the struggle and occasional self-doubt.
So that when time falls, I can stay strong, keep it down for the real and the law
Reiteration of preparing for tough times and being true to principles.
Perseverance for life, you could not, and face all the strife

For me, I know, all the world offered me, I had it befo
Personal awareness of having experienced worldly offerings before.
But that wasn't the plan, he made me a servant, he made me a man

Now I live in the dirt, humblest point, stayin' alert

His head was too big, his pride before the fall, lacking in it all
