If we’ve said “Yes!” to the cross of Christ
And we believe the divinely sacrificed lamb gave life
To the souls of man
Then why do we refuse to stand
When injustice wreaks havoc across our land?
Why do we act as if we do not care
When satan is destroying and trying to tear
Down the things that Christ has placed in our lives
As blessings to give away and share?
Are we numb to the death grip?
Do we even realize that it’s his goal to strip
Away the new life that Christ gave so freely
On that hill called Calvary ?
It’s time to take a stand for those who can’t
And for those who won’t and for those who don’t
Understand what’s been given into their hands
This free-life gift of the new Spiritual Man
That does not have to sin,
And realizes that Jesus will not die again!
It was a once for all sacrifice that gave and inheritance of eternal life
So that we could all be welcomed into the bride of Christ.
We got a new nature because we are new creatures.
We don’t do what the old man did.
We’re open and transparent when the old man would have hid.
We think the thoughts of Christ, because He came down and blessed us with a new mind
That doesn’t think on the things that kept the old man blind.
Our eyes are open to see
The spiritual beauty
Of the sacrifice that only He could make on behalf of you and me.
Depression, hatred, anger, and rage
Are all fruits of those darkened days
When we were deaf and dumb
And couldn’t comprehend the power and love
Of the Son of Man.
But now, He has freed us from those chains
He took the shackles off our feet so we could dance today.
He opened up our mouths so we could praise
And give thanks for the resurrection from the grave.
He gave us hope where there was despair
He gave us life when we had no air to breathe.
His love He so desperately wanted to share!
So now we stand boldly before the King of Heaven and Lord of life
We threw away the old man and gave up on the strife
So that we could embrace these spiritual heights
That He takes us to every day and night.
Let us stand and fight for this generation
Who is in the fight of their lives
Trying to decided whether they even want to live out life.
Let us take dominion and advance the Kingdom
So the ruler of the air
Can’t keep these young people in the pit of despair
Let’s disciple them and show them the way to freedom
Let them know Jesus died and rose again in order to free them.
It’s time to stand, and it’s time to fight
Let us not go quietly into that night!
But let us burn with a flame so bright
That it lights up the night sky
So we can see the Lord exalted
High and lifted up.
Before it’s too late, let’s start raising Him up.
