WHAT CAN THE RIGHTEOUS DO
Finding Strength in Darkness: What the Righteous Can Do
Lyrics
Examine me
Asking for examination
Oh Yahweh
Addressing Yahweh
Examine me, examine me
Repeated request for examination
Look at my heart
Request to scrutinize emotions and intentions
My desires
Review of personal wants
Look at my heart
Request to assess emotions and intentions (repeated)
My desires
Review of personal wants (repeated)
Look at my heart
Repeated request to assess emotions and intentions
In the Lord I take refuge
Expressing refuge in the Lord
How then can you say to me
Questioning advice to flee
Flee like a bird to your mountain
Comparing the wicked's blindness to God's victory
For what the wicked cannot see
God's triumph in battles
Is my God is victorious
Reiteration of God's victorious nature
He will win every battle
Assurance of God's triumph in enemy battles
The enemy wages
Reaffirmation of God's victory over enemies
The enemy wages
Reiterated affirmation of God's victory over enemies
When the foundation's are being destroyed
Concern over deteriorating foundations
What can the righteous do
Questioning the actions of the righteous
What can the righteous do
Repeated concern about righteous actions
When the foundation's are being destroyed
Reiterating concern about righteous actions
What can the righteous do
Continued concern about righteous actions
What can the righteous do
Repeated concern about righteous actions
Ooh I will not stray
Determination not to deviate
The world is getting darker every day
Observation of increasing darkness in the world
Create in me a fire you embrace
Plea for a passionate inner fire
No one could ever look away
Assurance of unwavering attention to God
It's Your Glory, Your Glory, Your Glory Alone oh God
Recognition of God's exclusive glory
It's Your Glory, Your Glory, Your Glory Alone oh God
Repeated acknowledgment of God's exclusive glory
Glory, Your Glory, it's Your Glory Alone oh God
-It's Your Glory, Your Glory, it's Your Glory Alone oh God
Emphasis on God's exclusive glory
And I can never forget all you've done for me
Gratitude for God's actions
My God done so many things, he parted all the seas
Repeated gratitude for God's actions
And I can never forget all you've done for me
-And I can never forget all you've done for me
-My God done so many things, he parted all the seas
-And I can never forget all you've done for me
Continued gratitude for God's actions
Ooh I will not stray
Determination not to deviate (repeated)
The world is getting darker every day
Observation of increasing darkness in the world (repeated)
Create in me a fire you embrace
Plea for a passionate inner fire (repeated)
No one could ever look away
Assurance of unwavering attention to God (repeated)
It's Your Glory, Your Glory, Your Glory Alone oh God
Repeated recognition of God's exclusive glory
It's Your Glory, Your Glory, Your Glory Alone oh God
-Glory, Your Glory, it's Your Glory Alone oh God
-It's Your Glory, Your Glory, it's Your Glory Alone oh God
