| 0:00.0 | I am powerful. I am not contained by the rules of this twisted kingdom. It is not my |
| 0:12.7 | own. My kingdom, my power, my love, my hope, my joy, my freedom and light and resurrection |
| 0:25.3 | power is available to you. Here, now, if you want it, you don't have to wait. You don't |
| 0:34.7 | have to let this spirit of resignation control you. You don't have to let its fingers tighten |
| 0:42.2 | around your neck, pushing you into the corner, trapped so you can barely breathe. |
| 0:49.4 | Why do you wait? Why do you choose death instead of life? Why do you not see I am here? Right |

| 3:20.4 | but it is worse. It is resignation. You have become resigned to living life the way you have |
| 3:29.2 | always lived it. You admire the choices of others, noticing the joy and freedom they seem to have. |
| 3:38.7 | But you are resigned to your faith. You have so little faith that things in your life will change. |
