Resistance

I won't allow it. I won't let it happen. This weakness will be strengthened.
Take away this battle. Let our fire burn within. Purify. Purify. Don't
release your hand from me. I must surrender, must lay it down. What's to
gain in my selfishness? What will I promote, and what will be pushed back?
My hope must rise, strength come forward. Linking my hand in yours. Let your
chains uphold me. I won't break the bond. No more will I remain the same. My
God has ever loved himself in me. I am convinced. I must stay.
