He said, “I know that you’re afraid and I am, too
But you’ll never be alone, I promise you”

When you’re weak, I’ll be strong
When you let go, I’ll hold on
When you need to cry, I swear that I’ll be there to dry 
your eyes
When you feel lost and scared to death, 
Like you can’t take one more step
Just take my hand, together we can do it
I’m gonna love you through it.

“Isn’t this our moment?  Isn’t this my moment?  Isn’t this the day I have prepared myself ever since I believed in Christ?

I signed up for this.  I signed up for the ridicule.  I signed up for the persecution.  I signed up for the disappointment and I signed up for the relentless prayer in the face of all odds.  I signed up for defeat so that victory could be had.

I signed up to lose, so Christ could win.  I signed up for humiliation, so Christ could triumph.  I signed up for loss and defeat, so that Christ could have the victory.

When I agreed to be a Christian, I took up my cross.  This is what I signed up for.

I don’t know what will happen over the next months or years, but I do know that I will fight.  I will fight for what I believe in and I will fight to the death for the free exercise of those beliefs.  This is the moment we have been waiting for and and I am not tired.  I am primed for the fight.

After all, this is what I signed up for.”
