Who has the power to win wars;
a stranger knocking at our doors
To floor us when we atone
Who says we’ll never be alone
but is less important than our phone
God is omnipotent, but somehow unfamiliar to us. His grace and his mercy is constantly outpouring, and yet we run away with our problems, instead of running to Him with them. God says "I will never leave you nor forsake you" but still takes the backseat when it comes to spending time with Him or with our phone.
Who brought us back from the dark
bought with the currency of blood
and currently not important enough to mention
not to mention the way we talk
when do we really walk?
once a week?
we’ve become weak
We were redeemed with grace, but somehow it's not important enough to bring up to others. What do we actually say about Him when we're in the company of nonbelievers? Do we only walk with God on Sundays? Our faith has become weak.
if the world had begun again
could we ever hope to gain a name?
it’s no longer a game when the king dines with the poor
would we be fine to be among the poor?
If all of our knowledge of God wiped out, would we be Christians? Would someone else witness to us? If The King of Kings can dine among the poor, would we be able to do the same?
we were poured into
but it's still about ‘me’
God constantly pours his love, grace, kindness, and mercy into us, and yet we use him like a crutch; only when we need to. We've come to think of God as someone who grants our wishes for selfish gain.
in the still, do you see his face?
can we face the facts?
we were a disgrace
but redeemed with grace
deemed fit for the kingdom
now let the king come
for it was said that it was done
In the quiet nights, or the busy days, do you see God? We we once in the darkness, but now we're children of light, made new again in order to be with God in heaven. So let Jesus come, for he had said upon the cross that "it is finished"
no matter how far we run
the son meets us there
burning brighter than the sun
for action can’t earn us what we already have
turning to ourselves to save
living for the grave?
the way we behave brings death
Jesus is there to help us with our problems when we run from God. Actions can't earn us grace. We're too prideful to turn to someone else to save us so we turn to ourselves. And if death is certain, then how are we living? We live sinfully, and sin breeds death.
the things of this world will rest
you know the story, he will do the rest.
its best to live like he died
because there is no “you tried”
so join the cause, march to the drum
the war has already begun.
Everything in this lifetime will eventually perish. Except what is eternal. If you've grown up a Christian, then you probably know the story of Revelation. If Jesus is truly raised to life, then the news should change your life. Because at the end, when you stand before God, there is no "I tried to be a Christian." It's either you lived your life a Christian, or you didn't. The spiritual war has already started; war doesn't wait for people. So join in the fight against the devil. You combat him by growing in your relationship with God. And part of that means that you can't live a double life. No more being a Christian on Sundays only.
So the idea remains as this: Christianity is an everyday thing, and often something we take for granted. But if you really think about how big of a gift it really is to be a Christian, then perhaps we can stop living as if nothing is really different in our lives. The fact is, someone died for us. And yet we don't really behave as if that's the case. Your life was so precious and valuable to someone, that someone gave their life, so that you could keep yours. So what are you going to do with your life?
