Tell me if you understand
How we can lose so much
Blood soaks freedom’s land
Air choking from death’s touch

We say we fight for rights
While taking theirs away
With the power of our might
We make night from day

Blackness in our soul
We are cowards, liars, thieves
Increasing is the death toll
Ignorant to their grief

All of us are hypocrites
We are demons in God’s name
We let Him take all hits
We point towards Him the blame

Sinners all are we
And death we deserve
He should have let us be
Satan we chose to serve

Instead he chose to save
His son laid down his life
Then rose he from the grave
Freed we are from strife

I bow my head and weep
For me he took it all
The price did not come cheap
So go I will at the call

In the middle of a forest
In a realm as dark as night
A ruthless army watches
And awaits the bane of light

A formless creature brings a babe
A girl whose sacrifice
Will bring the end of all mankind
Her judgment cold as ice

A child bred in darkness
A creature with twisted soul
Her eyes burn with fire
Her deeds as black as coal

The giggle from her lips
Bring wails of tortured cries
For all those that hear it
Know they soon will die

The air is full of tension
No sound can be heard
And everyone is waiting
For a dreaded spoken word

Her scream releases legions
Demons filled with lust
Her finger points toward man
Her sneer filled with disgust

The day ends in a massacre
Her fingers drip with blood
The bodies that she sits on
Could drown the earth in flood

Child of darkness smiles in glee
Her triumph none will doubt
She screams in glorious victory
The creature that hell spat out

The day started with anticipation
People came from across the nation
Dreams and hope to win the race
Fame from getting that first place

A deafening blast filled the air
Screams where heard everywhere
Dropped bags, scrambling people
Confusion came with constant babble

Catastrophe completely unseen
Bodies carried from the scene
Tears rolled from every eye
Prayers lifted to the sky

Unsure and scared we may be
But trust in God the Almighty
For though we cannot see the light
In His arms, they are all right

Continue to hope and to pray
God is here with us today
For He has never left our side
And in His comfort, we must abide.

Will you fight for me?

If you get bulled at school
Will you fight?

If your friends leave you
Will you fight?

If your family regrets you
Will you fight?

If you feel alone and abandoned
Will you fight?

If you can’t hear my voice
Will you fight?

If you feel like the world hates you
Will you fight?

If I ask you to die for me


Will you die for me?

Start by staying silent
Don’t move from your seat
Ignore the chattering voices
The odor of smelly feet  

Stop what you’re doing
Get in the zone
How can you hear Him
If you’re looking at your phone

You’re not here for you
Or that boy or that girl
This weekend is for Him
And nothing of this world

Feel it in your heart
Its worship time ya hear?
Shout and sing praises
The Lord is drawing near

Scream His name out loud
Call His kingdom down
Jump on your feet
Or drop your knees to the ground

Do you really understand
What’s happening tonight
We are beating back the darkness
And ushering forth the light

We are praying on our knees
We are God-fearing warriors
Raising up a ruckess
Destroying any barriers

Shout out to the Lord
Cry out to the King
Feel His presence here
Scream, shout, sing

I can feel it now
His overwhelming arrival
Get up on your feet
We are starting a revival

I’m sitting in church
Only 5 years old
Accepting Christ
Doing what I’m told

I’m ten years old
Learning in school
Casting off Jesus
He just isn’t cool

High school comes around
I’ve got some bad friends
***, drinks, and drugs
Where does it end?

Now I’m in college
Feeling so lost
The lifestyle I lived
Came at a cost

Stuck at a fork
And left with a choice
Do I fade back
Or stand with a voice?

What I want again
I had as a child
I want hot and spicy
Not tame and mild

I want to be saved
I want to feel freedom
To shout and sing praises
To enter His kingdom

I will get back on track
I will preach my salvation
I will be the light
To a dark and dying nation

I wonder about our future
And what it will become
Will we forget about the King
Forget about His son?

In God this nation founded
And its in God we trust
But I wonder if later on
Depravity will be a must

Will singing become silence
The Bible became banned
I fear in the future
Christians are hunted through the land

I know this will happen
If His fire’s what he lack
If we continue to be doormats
Instead of fighting back

Choose to raise your hands
Refuse to stand still
Never let your voice die out
Become a city on a hill

We are warriors of Christ
We live not in this world
So spread the news of God
Stand up every boy and girl

With God on our side
We must stand and fight
To bring honor and glory
This is our right!

Don’t back down from fear
For we are the many!
We will fight for Him
For we are the Lord’s army!

— The End —
