There's a common misconception
about my Christian faith
It's not just my religion
let me tell you I've been saved
And I'm determined
to live it everyday
Even though I stumble
and fall flat upon my face
Through all the condemnation
I'm still runnin', runnin' in this race

Chorus
I'm determined not to fail
I'm determined to overcome
all of my fears
Oh I've got to persevere
I will never take for granted
the grace He's given me
To endure until the end,
I'm never gonna quit
Oh I'm determined
I'm determined
It's not a usual existence,
'cause this is not my home
But the popular opinion,
says that I am wrong
But I'm determined,
to show them all the way
I won't be double-minded
or hypocritical
I'm not ashamed of Jesus Oh---
I want the world to know
I'm determined

Repeat Chorus
Bridge

Persecution will come
Ooooo we will survive
And I will stand on the promise
of His love

Repeat Chorus
