The day I first opened my eyes to this life I've been livingI looked out from my shelter of youth When I took my first steps in this worldIt was waiting, I was shocked by the sickening truthThat moment of weakness, split second of fear Was all that I needed to allowThe beast that I awaited, they struck and healed And my body was left for a thousand dead by the endLet me tell you about the power of God And the intimacy of all menThe saviour of all, yes, the silver of souls The wonder of GodAnd the wicked enslaved by the chains they made Slaves to their own desiresThose who were scorned, the chivalry born Who were starved to believe their own liesBefore you speak or even open your mouth You better know what you're talking aboutBefore you're eaten alive, I've got to save my life Know the power of God is aliveSo who will speak, and who will tell Of the power of your almighty GodYou saw your relief, you weren't in your mind But in my darkest hours there was nowhere to be foundYou would swerve in their speeches and reach aggressively Believing and teaching moral myths for many come undoneWe all die one day, but my Lord will slay Yes, the power of GodBefore you speak or even open your mouth You better know what you're talking aboutBefore you're eaten alive, I've got to save my life Know the power of God is aliveWho is man that God has made known as a manEvery knee shall bow and every tongue shall bowAnd every tongue confess Christ is Lord, oh noCreation accepts or creation rejects And those who reject must fallThe perfect justice, eternal truth All of us will we die and fadeYou're God as quick as you came, but God remains oldBow to the power of GodBefore you speak or even open your mouth You better know what you're talking aboutBefore you're eaten alive, I've got to save my life Know the power of God is alive
