Insnärjd

Encircled, ensnared My enemies have laid siege to me Oppressed, inflicted Poisonous arrows aimed at me Victimized, terrorized Those who hate me gather for attack Grieved, deceived Wrapped in drapes so black There is but one To whom I can run I know only of one place Where I'll truly be safe I'm being chased like An animal through darkened woods Vicious beasts Hounding at my tail Ominous shadows Crouching down over me Their hands of ice Stretching out to grasp my heart Who can save me Who'll release me Where can I flee Where, but to thee But I'll escape from my foes From the stalking wolves From these haunting ravens I've found a safe haven The LORD I will proclaim I hide within his name My fortress in times of war I find protection within your walls My keep, my stronghold Well tried since days of old My shield, my eternal defence My refuge, my tower of strength Who can save me Who'll release me Where can I flee Where, but to thee In here evil cannot reach These gates they cannot breach Fog of deception cannot infiltrate Unholy weapons cannot penetrate You are my sanctuary Your love, unconditionally Jesus Christ So Who will save you?

Vi går i våra fäders spår åren går men vårt mål vi aldrig når Spåren i den fallna snön de leder oss till dödens port Den minner om istiden, en svunnen tid vi glömmer fort Den tiden ligger bakom oss men framför finns en annan tid Dödens port är ännu vid, redo för en sista strid Striden kommer nu - var får jag kraft? Kraften att strida - mot isen i min själ? Vi går i våra fäders spår åren går men vårt mål vi aldrig når I ensamhetens vrå - där finns det något I ensamhetens vrå - där ser jag något Men mörkrets makter hindrar mig Mörkets makter förblindar mig Mörkets makter binder mig Döden, den omsluter mig Så - vart vänder jag mig nu - nu Dörren stängd å allting mörkt och kallt Jag har mitt val, vägar jag gå ut Vi går i våra fäders spår åren går men vårt mål vi aldrig når Spåren i den fallna snön de leder oss till dödens port Den minner om istiden, en svunnen tid vi glömmer fort Den tiden ligger bakom oss men framför finns en annan tid Dödens port är ännu vid, redo för en sista strid Striden kommer nu - var får jag kraft? Kraften att strida - mot isen i min själ? Jag måste trampa nya spår Som leder mig, till mitt mål I ensamhetens vrå - dår fann jag något I ensamhetens vrå - år ej så ensamt Ljuset nu omsluter mig Ljuset nu finns inom mig Ljuset nu går mig fri Istiden år fårbi Så å vart vånder jag mig nu - nu Dårren åppen - sikten milasvid Jag har mitt val, vågar jag gå ut

Born into this world With all of its complexity The strings of life intertwined Into braids twisted around my head Like wriggling snakes of confusion How I first thought things were Later I realized it was not What I once in my youth had been taught From deep within me Grows a desperate need for help I'm trying to put into words My innermost scream From high above a mighty voice Cuts through my darkened sky Rebuking the winds, bidding my Roaring waves to be still I am the Way, the Truth And the Life No one comes to the Father Except through me You looked for guidance, I am the Way You asked for answers, I am the Truth You longed for meaning, I am the Life And the Father is the goal (For) your journey into afterlife Leaving my childhood My journey begins With my ship I'm forced to set sail On a sea of swirling chaos Of thoughts and feelings An amorphous mess of sadness Of regrets and anxieties On an ocean of emotions Driven forth by stormy winds That tears my sails asunder Who can guide me through This raging storm From high above a mighty voice Cuts through my darkened sky Rebuking the winds, bidding my Roaring waves to be still I am the Way, the Truth And the Life No one comes to the father Except through me You looked for guidance, I am the Way You asked for answers, I am the Truth You longed for meaning, I am the Life And the father is the goal (For) your journey into afterlife When I was a child I talked like a child I thought like a child I reasoned like a child When I became a man I put childish ways behind Now we see a poor reflection As in a mirror Then we shall see Face to face, now I know In part, then I shall know Fully, even as I am fully known
