No Compromise

I planted my feet firmly today
Rooted deep in faith, never again to sway
So now the world will  scorn  hate and  despise
Dropping  ugly rumors and whispered lies
To paint me bleakly as a canvas stained 
 Judged and unforgiven and try to blind again
I raise my tattered banner and stand my ground
Focus on eternity with decisions sound
God is my deliverer I will never deny
I will never surrender or compromise 
The world can hate me, its really their loss
I no longer live for them, I live for the cross.
