As We Build
Building a Fortress of Faith: The Sweetsers' Anthem of Resilience
Lyrics
Building the wall 'round Your city
Symbolic act of creating boundaries or protection around a community or belief system.
Everyone 'round us is scared
Observation that people around are experiencing fear or anxiety.
It's just a matter of worship
Highlighting the significance of worship as a central aspect of their actions.
Even if only You care
Emphasizing commitment and care even when others may not understand or share the concern.
And we, Your new creation
Identification of the group as a new creation, possibly spiritually or ideologically.
Are tilling the ground as You willed
Acknowledging alignment with a higher will, working the metaphorical 'ground' of existence.
Establish the work of our hands as we build
Request for divine support and affirmation of the value of their efforts.
They try to confuse us and break us
Recognition of external challenges meant to confuse or weaken, but stating their resilience.
But that doesn't matter at all
Asserting that challenges are insignificant if accompanied by a divine presence.
If You are with us we're blessed
Expressing confidence in divine blessing and protection for their work.
This work of ours will not fall
Assurance that their collective efforts will withstand challenges.
And we, Your new creation
Reiteration of their identity as a new creation with a specific purpose.
Are tilling the ground as You willed
Continued commitment to follow a higher will and purpose.
Establish the work of our hands as we build
Request for the lasting impact of their collective work to be recognized.
For we are the work of Your hands
Acknowledging their existence as a creation of a higher power.
We are the work of Your hands
Reiteration of their identity as the work of a divine entity.
And it is clear that You love us
Affirmation of divine love and indication of being chosen for a purpose.
And You desire to work through us
Recognition of being instruments for the divine to work through.
And we, Your new creation
Restating their identity and commitment to fulfill their purpose.
Are tilling the ground as You willed
Continued alignment with a higher will and purpose.
Establish the work of our hands as we build
Seeking lasting impact and recognition for their efforts.
Whether we work at the mall
Regardless of the nature of work, emphasizing the importance of being a witness or example.
Or building bridges and walls
Listing diverse occupations to highlight the universality of their purpose.
Or calling shots with the big guns
Including powerful positions to emphasize the breadth of their impact.
We are in place as a witness
Stating the overarching purpose of being witnesses in their respective roles.
And we, Your new creation
Reiteration of their identity and commitment, emphasizing alignment with a higher will.
Are tilling the ground as You willed
Continued dedication to the metaphorical 'ground' they are tilling.
Establish the work of our hands as we build
Request for the lasting impact of their collective work to be recognized.
And we, Your new creation
Reiteration of their identity and commitment, emphasizing alignment with a higher will.
Are tilling the ground as You willed
Continued dedication to the metaphorical 'ground' they are tilling.
Establish the work of our hands as we build
Request for the lasting impact of their collective work to be recognized.
As we build
Final affirmation of their ongoing process of building and creating.
