1. INTRO

(Instrumental)


2. INFANTRY

This breath I take with you in mind.
This war we fight, we'll fight by your side
I'll do anything to keep us together
We'll do anything to give you all exposure
I'll be there to comfort you
At all cost
This world will do anything
to release it's demons
At all costs
We'll fight back with all we have
Making a difference for our God
Let us be more than stories in a book
Make us legends to come
Make us soldiers of men
Bringing strength to the weak
& life to the dead
Hope to the hopeless
Knowing this is a total destruction
Knowing this is a total anhilation
Of my sin, my hurt, and pain
All of these cause us suffering
They can take us to the grave
And we will carry on your name
They can take us to the grave


3. REDEMPTION

I have been in this daily battle long enough
to know its time to bring this to an end.
a call to be pure, to be so clean.
a call for action
I lift my prayers to you father,
bring us to our knees.
Let me hear your voice in this time of need,
and take this lust away from me!

this is your redemption.
this is our freedom!
our freedom, our right,
tonight i make this promise,
to never let lust take over my life.
i know there will be many trials,
and i will be tempted,
but by your grace and your love,
i will defeat this,
and taste the sweet sweet victory,
in you Jesus


4. AGAPE

Can we payback more than can be measured?
If we could love
If we could love
There is an amount of love
An amount of grace
Beyond all meaning
Beyond all measure
If we could even grasp it
There would be more pleasure
There is no greater love than
laying your life down for a friend
If we loved God to a teaspoon
of his overflowing cup
What would this world then see?
Our land of sorrow and turmoil
would swirl to a community of joy
Open our eyes to glisten
Open our hearts to receive
Open our mouths to smile
This is a love that none can fathom
How can we repay
Love the Lord your God
With all your heart
All your soul
All your mind
All your strength


5. NEVER LOSE SIGHT OF THE GOALS

We're all people with a dream.
Some good, some bad
Some are real, and some are just fads.
Who will come out on top,
And who will just give it up?
God has his own plans for us.
It's not ours, it's His.
It's time to give it up.
Keep your head up high
And never lose sight
Of the goals.
We will never give up.
(Never lose sight, of the goals within us)
We will never give up
And He will never back down.
Seek and live everyday
To never worry what he'll say.
He will never back down.
It's not ours, to decide.
Shake it, move.
In the end there will be no doubt.
We will never lose sight of the goals.

7. WORDS OF HOPE

You mean the world to me
Thoughts of you not being here with me
You're giving up without looking for a way out
Walk towards the light
Stop this timebomb on yourself
There is more to this world than you could ever imagine
A love so pure, wanting to lift you up
To bring your head out of the sand
& carry you on the path to righteousness
A love so pure
Fixes broken hearts, broken lives
This gift delivered by our God
These words of hope are yours to take
You may be fearful but you are not alone
I will be there to help you through
Are you up for the challenge?
Believe in yourself
Know that these words
These words of hope
Are yours to take


8. READY FOR THE FIGHT

We've made it too easy
To excuse everything we do as acceptable;
Or that it's just like everyone else.
The popularity of something
Does not excuse it.
We cannot live a life of sliding.
Let us walk straight forward--
Eyes focused on our destination
Body armored for the battle,
Soul ready for the fight.
Prepare us, O God
to go out this time
Honoring your bride
With the respect you deserve.
No more excuses this time.
Keep the dress clean.
We will walk before you
and return with no more dirt upon us.
We will return clean.


9. A HIGHER STANDARD

This is a call out to all who are left
All brothers and sisters who take the title:
You choose for yourself,
And if you claim the name, so be it.
But get your head in the game.
Let's live it.
For if we call on God, it's clear.
He has made it simple.
His eternal power and divine nature is clearly seen,
So we are without excuse.
We are held to a higher standard
But we chose it for ourselves
So, lets start a legacy.
Let's start a legacy
Right here, right now
With no excuses this time.
It's you, me, and Him
From here we shall go,
It's time to represent proudly.
But let me remind you again
We are called to a higher standard.
It can't be looked past.
The responsibility is great
but the rewards, they are so golden.
And our God is good.
His grace will carry us through.


10. WITH A PASSION BURNING

Do you have a passion?
Find something that you love
Run with it, don't stop for anyone else
No one can get you down
You are better than that
Fight for your passion
Be knowledgeable of your roots
and proud of what you've become
If what you love reflects yourself inside out
It is not a trend
So many people will never find true life
and all the passion that can flow from it
Everyone is so quick to judge
All just so quick to judge
But while they're just watching
We'll run past them
