Fortress
Conquer the world with an army, would you
Sing me a lullaby I won't forget?
Make all eyes turn with your beauty, would you
Make life a gamble and win every bet?
Never Forget, win every bet.
And nothing can compare
A gift of love, oh, so rare
I could decline or make it mine.
And oh, vanity it seems
I'll build myself all that I need
And when my fortress is complete
Jesus still knocks, can I come and eat?
And oh, the guilt it comes around
Voices scream loud
You're a disgrace
And oh, the tears are welling up
I cannot bear to look in your face
Once in a triumphant moment,
All of these things are put to shame
Once in a triumphant moment,
All of things are washed away.
And nothing can compare
A gift of love, oh, so rare
I won't decline, I'll make it mine.
