Some days feel like a waste where nothing ever goes right Some days you’re on your game, but empty on the inside It always seems the same, no matter what the day Don’t even wanna try and nothing really feels ok It’s time like this the fight feels lost, but really means the most When there’s so much that’s on the line and losing feels so close Where is the will to fight? Is it even inside? It’s hard to hear, but you gotta stoke the flame inside Don’t you quit! Yeah, don’t give up and see that you’re not in this on your own Stand up! Fight! God won’t give up on you, He’s got your back and won’t let go Yeah, it’s a fight, you know the battle’s there inside your head Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide to get away from it You’re trying to break free from this insanity But the thing is, you keep trying to in your own strength It isn’t hopeless, you should know that there’s a way out There is a love and there’s a strength to break those chains now And time and time again, on this you can depend That if you look for help, in God you’re gonna find it

Don’t run away, run away, run away Some things change, nothing ever stays the same And there’s no one we can blame What do we do? Change our view, look to You It’s nothing new, sometimes we just forget to And our eyes shift to the waves You’re the hand that’s reaching out How could I forget about The One who rescues I’m gonna refocus on You You called me out, not a doubt, and I think that I’ll step out This is what it’s all about I hear your voice and I obey I can’t disguise that my eyes recognize my demise And it’s now I realize That my gaze has turned away

Listen up, yeah listen up, there's something I just gotta say Gotta stoke the Living Fire, gotta live to show The WAY Now, we might be Old-Timers, but we have A Common Goal To reach The Lonely Revolts like Ambassadors of Shalom The Hoax they try to sell us, but the cross of Jesus frees He paid the price to set us right, took our Infirmities Now we are The Kings Kids, sometimes we wanna Jump Ship Quick Sometimes this life can get us down, but we ain't gonna quit This is why we do what we do Doesn't matter what they think of you We know this is so much bigger than anything We give it up to you True Liberty awaits all those whose sin has been Absolved We Fear God and for Christ's Sake, all our failings are resolved We move on knowing full well that it's God who has our backs A Broken Line made straight, we won't be living in the past This Rogue Anthem on our lips, we sing it straight from our hearts Nothing can separate us and we'll never be apart Hippos of Doom can't stop us, we're Unshackled from our past Not bowing to False Idles, No Punk Influences last This is why we do what we do Doesn't matter what they think of you We know this is so much bigger than anything We give it up to you Check check, Cross Check, got a Heart Like War No, we won't Relent because we know the score Like a punk B-lister, He Cast the Dragon All Reliance on Him, na, we won't be lacking Doulos always to this righteousness Pleading Guilty flipped us and the way we live By grace through faith and from death to life There's so much more to living than just being alive This is why we do what we do Doesn't matter what they think of you We know this is so much bigger than anything We give it up to you This Thumper Punk, you know he fights Facedown With a Raven Faith, yeah, we ain't messing around We're brought back to life just like CPR Now we bring the fight like a Rottweiler This whole Rockfest and everything we do It don't mean a thing if it ain't with You Because this Indie Vision sees the bound set free Sees the lost get found and sees the victory

Fight Alone 03:33
Sometimes you’ve got to stand up Sometimes it’s gonna take a fight It’s then that you can’t give up We walk by faith and not by sight You know we’re bound to win You know we’re bound to win We’re more than conquerors We are victorious We’re not in this fight alone It’s more than obvious We know He won’t leave us We’re not in this fight alone Sometimes it’s overwhelming Sometimes we wonder if we’ll win It’s then that we can’t give up We know there’s no lost cause with Him Whenever trouble comes my way, you know I’m gonna count it joy Cuz I know there’s no weapon formed that could possibly destroy I know I can do all things, with His power I’m infused I know that if You are for me there’s no way that I can lose
5.
No Weapon 02:34
This is a call to action We’re cutting down all distraction Too much on the line to just sit back in satisfaction We’re all marching forward, we’re not slowing down Holding fast what we have, no one will take our crown No weapon, no weapon, no weapon Formed shall prosper We can’t be defeated With Him we’ve been seated With all that we are we know in Him we are completed In every place we have the power to conquer No weapon formed, no weapon will ever prosper
6.
Sometimes I wonder where I’d be if You hadn’t changed my life And I’m not where I wanna be, but grace makes that alright And You say I’m on my way, I’m living more like you each day I’m on my way, I’m not the same, and every day I’m seeing change And I know I’ve ways to go, and even if it’s feeling slow If I want change that takes a hold, I’ve gotta show it’s worth the wait And some days it’s not so easy… You’ve begun this work in me It’s a work You’re perfecting And I know that I will be the way You see me And I’ll live the best I can No, it won’t be easy and I won’t always understand, this is where I stand Some people try and bring you down Cuz of how you live your life They tell you that they know better than you And you ain’t got it right And You say I’m on my way, I’m living more like you each day I’m on my way, I’m not the same, and every day I’m seeing change And I know I’ve ways to go, and even if it’s feeling slow If I want change that takes a hold, I’ve gotta show it’s worth the wait

I hear the drums echoing tonight But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation She's coming in, 12:30 flight The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation I stopped an old man along the way Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you" It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had The wild dogs cry out in the night As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company I know that I must do what's right As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Mainstream 03:35
Times are changing, everything is rearranging If you don't know what I'm saying, then just take a look around It's not getting better, every day we're growing deader To the things that we should never, can't we see we're being bound? Buy into the big thing, we sell our souls for anything And it could cost us everything that means something to us Let's open up our eyes and see right through their little lies Let's just say no to compromise and leave it in the dust Wake up, it's not too late, we can still resuscitate No time, no we can't wait, it's up to us, let's turn it all around Take what they try to sell us, throw it back, cuz they can't buy us No, we won't accept the virus, we live for Him who turns it all around Everywhere we go, on TV and the radio, there's no escaping it, you know Just tell me what to do to get away from it, the ones who keep on selling it The way they show is opposite to what we know is true To live for God is getting harder, it looks odd To go against the world's facade of what is right and what is good But just stay strong and it won't be before too long That we will see the end of everything that we believe is true So don't you be conformed to what this world will tell you But be renewed in your mind Through the Word He gave you, that's able to save you Just don't give up, it might take time...it's worth your time

Paid For 03:45
I broke the law and I got caught, it was a minor offense I never thought what I was taught was wrong, so in my defense I can’t be tried if I defied, I didn’t know the difference They say the law is still the law, this doesn’t make any sense Is this a dream? I’m gonna scream, they just don’t want my two cents The facts are clear and now I’m here and waiting for the sentence What will they say? How will I pay? I never felt quite this tense I guess I’ll pray I’ll be OK and wait for them to commence How could I? Why would I? I never knew that I was wrong Why should I try to fight? Cuz now I know I’m not that strong The words I say give me away, there’s nothing more I can do But sit and hear as they reveal the life I lived in its truth Can’t walk away I have to stay, I feel the shame on my face Then in my ear I hear the words, “My son, I’ve taken your place” I’m walked away, I wanna stay, and it’s right then that I turn To hear them say He’s pay and in my place He’s gonna burn I hit the floor, I can’t ignore the fact my crimes put Him there All by Himself with no one else, come on now, this isn’t fair How could You? Why would You? I know that You did no wrong Why should You not try to? I could never be that strong I know You paid for me As I walk away into the day I have to stop and reflect On what was done for me so selflessly, I did not expect Why would He go? I just don’t know and what could I mean to Him? Then I know I’m not alone and I stop to listen I hear a voice, I see a Man who says He paid just for me He’s been released, He bought my peace, He came so I’d be set free He gave me life, He took my strife, and now I’m always with Him And this new light I have inside I know will never grow dim How could You? Why would You? I know that You did no wrong Why should You not try to? I could never be that strong I know You paid for me

My Strength 03:19
Today’s just not my day, but that’s OK I know that I’ll get through it No matter what they say, it’s OK You said that I could do it There’s nothing I can’t do because of You I know You’re my strength I’m watching mountains crumble in my path Because You are for me Nothing can keep me down, I’ll stand my ground And I’m not gonna lose it With my life in Your hands, I understand It’s all about my choosing
11.
Way Maker 03:49
You are here, moving in our midst I worship You, I worship You You are here, working in this place I worship You, I worship You You are here, moving in our midst I worship You, I worship You You are here, working in this place I worship You, I worship You You are Way maker, miracle worker, promise keeper Light in the darkness My God, that is who You are You are here, touching every heart I worship You, I worship You You are here, healing every heart I worship You, I worship You You are here, turning lives around I worship You, I worship You You are here, mending every heart I worship You, I worship You That is who You are Way Maker!
