Still Remains

When man rejects the true light and falls through weakness he disfigures something of his true human dignity.  What still remains is the human dignity reflected in free will.  Man is constantly called to restore the fulness of his dignity - but always in harmony with and never at the expense of free will.  He must freely choose to cooperatate with grace in order to be restored to his former stature.        

Alter Bridge - Still Remains

STILL REMAINS - ALTER BRIDGE
I cast a line when I saw you were drowning
Still you turn your back on me
Pulled you from the fire when you were burning
Still you never could believe

So carry on if you must go your way
Though embrace my heart
Your free will still remains

I save you from your fall when you were slipping
Still you broke from me to run
So how can you justify the life you're living

You must carry on if you must go your way
Though embrace my heart
Your free will still remains

You'll deny it all
You'll deny me once again
But I've seen it all
I know you've come to crawl
Back to me before the end

Carry on if you must go your way
Though embrace my heart
Your free will still remains

So carry on if you must go your way
Though embrace my heart
Your free will still remains
Still remains
