🎵 Encountering the Holiness of God 🎵 Christian Metal & Hard Rock | Lyric Video

Welcome to the official lyric video for a new Christian metal song, "Encountering the Holiness of God." This track dives deep into the themes of inner struggle, the realization that trying to hide oneself from God, a perfectly holy, omnipresent, and all-knowing God, is a futile enterprise, and the ultimate redemption found in God's unwavering love through Jesus. The song may be classified as metal or hard rock. It also has some symphonic elements.

Lyrics:

All pretensions gone away,
Not much left that could stay.
Only I and the masks of my many faces,
In life's theatre removed from its stages.

Silent words the mind of flesh utters,
These I could easily hide from others.
They too play games of pretend on a whim,
When conscience sleeps and lights fade dim.

Face to face,
Word against the Word,
Revealing light will face me.
There is no place,
Away from the Lord,
Where anyone could take me.

Encountering the only one truly wise,
Who really sees me for what I am.
Not to enable any sinful vice,
Nor affirm corruption in man.

I startle when seeing a hand raised as fist,
Yet deeper sense of love does persist.
The hand now opens with light shining through,
Reached out in mercy as the fear withdrew.

On his palm I see a piece of parchment,
A torn fragment of my soul handed back.
I do know what the written words meant,
As they remain still in carbon black.

The fragment I can smooth out and spread,
But old writing cannot show through.
Covered by new words written in bloodred:
"I will never leave you nor forsake you."
