This is a convicting yet inspirational song that expresses the lack of strong conviction in our lives, and how we must wake up and focus on deepening our heart for God and His people.
lyrics
“Conviction”
[Vs 1]:
You see, the world is slowly dyin’
We gotta wake up & start livin’
And sin is calling my name with…
All of this temptation…
Now it’s only getting worse here
But first things first we’re…
We’re losing sight of our first love
We need to go back to our Conviction!
Here we go
[Hook]:
Here we go
We’ve fallen back again
We wanna change the world
But now we’re blending in.
We’re growin’ weak and poor with No Conviction.
When will we wake up and live again?
'Cause I don’t wanna lose His love
Blinded by these pleasures and lusts
How weak has my conviction become?
We gotta wake up and live again
[Vs 2]:
Don’t say another word, let your actions speak
Tolerating all this sin, that’s why you’re growin’ so weak
Dark deeds consume your life, now your ways are oblique
And you quenched the Spirit; Accepting defeat
No connection to the Vine, bearing fruit is unseen
Lost your fire and your zeal, now you’re incomplete
Return to His Truth, He’s the Light to your feet
--- We need to go back to our convictions!
Let’s go!
[2nd Hook]:
Let’s go, no fallin’ back again
We gotta change the world, but where do we begin?
Let’s grow deep & strong in our Conviction.
We gotta wake up and live again
'Cause I don’t wanna lose His love
Blinded by these pleasures and lusts
How weak has my conviction become?
We gotta wake up and live again
[Bridge]:
Oooooohhh wwooaaaahhh
Come on, let’s go
'Cause I don’t wanna lose His love
Let’s go—Let’s go Deeper!
[Final Hook]:
Let’s go, no fallin’ back again
We gotta change the world, but where do we begin?
Let’s grow deep & strong in our Conviction.
We gotta wake up and live again
'Cause I don’t wanna lose His love
Blinded by these pleasures and lusts
How weak has my conviction become?
We gotta wake up and live again
(Repeat)
'Cause I don’t wanna lose His love
Blinded by these pleasures and lusts
How weak has my conviction become?
We gotta wake up and live again
