We’ve circled this mountain long enough for the both of us to be
There and back again, to be there and back and there and back and
We’ve straddled this line, with feet planted firmly on both sides
And kept walking forward for far too long
Roll back your sleeves and apply a little elbow grease
You and I are gonna cut against the grain
Stop doing things the same way that they’ve always been
“Someone should do something!” but right now, if we’re the only somebodies we see
Then I guess it’s up to you and you guess it’s up to me
It’s up to you and me
Last time was the last time that we go around and come around again
Last time was the what time? The last time, last time!
And this might be frustrating; this might be a mess
This might push us to the snapping point, yeah, this might be a test
But we won’t snap and we won’t break and in the end it’ll make us say
“It doesn’t get any better than this! It doesn’t get any better than this!”
It gets no better than this
This is not about letting go
It’s not about you and me
This is taking hold of life that truly is

Let’s keep it short and sweet
Yeah we actively seek to submit and surrender every part of our lives
We’re scratching at the surface of a deeper way to live
Of a fuller way to be, a more hope filled way to die
And this is just a shadow, a hologram, a projection, full of beauty but lacking all the same
And we don’t have to look any further than ourselves to find a longing and an ache
We found the answer!
But lately I’ve been thinking how
A line is to a square is to a cube is to a tesseract
There’s so much more than we can truly touch and see and feel
A line is to a square is to a cube is to a tesseract
So let’s get fifth dimensional
And stop believing that we can do this on our own
And stop pretending that the world as we know it is our home
And stop acting like what we create for ourselves is good enough, or any good at all
And start resisting, begin standing up and fighting against
Apathy and comfort and the need to have our own control
Sometimes it feels like we’re all just holding on to our final shreds of hope
Well, it’s time to let our hold go
We’ve found the answer in surrender to Jesus as Lord

I’m kicking myself because I forget that we have an enemy
Who lies and kills and steals and cheats and destroys
And manipulates and twists what’s good and true until it appears
Our world is bursting at the seams and falling apart
It’s breaking apart into a million pieces that I cannot put back together again
But I know who can… And we belong to Him
Where Satan sows destruction we’ll reap restoration
And I’m not saying it’s all sugar and spice
Yeah there’s ups and downs in life, but we’re saying
“You’ve got no business getting up in our business
You’ve got no right trying to steal our fullness of life”
We’re here to take it back
We’re not naïve enough to think that anything we do amounts to anything without you
We’ve all got a bit “shady” in our past, but what’s done is done and we’re not looking back, no We’re holding on to the truth that
When there’s sadness, we still have joy
That when it all seems hopeless, we have a Hope
That never ceases and meets us in our weakness
That we have a peace that stands in defiance to the storm
That we are deeply loved and infinitely valuable
That you are deeply loved and infinitely valuable
That there is so much more to life that we have yet to see
That there is so much more that we have yet to be (Come)
That we are deeply loved and infinitely valuable
That you are deeply loved and infinitely valuable

Did you see the darkness tremble
When we stood hand in hand?
Your hand was in my hand
Did you see that when we lifted Jesus up
We really lifted each other up?
Nothing can tear us down
“Do you remember talk of the golden years?
Well, darling dear , those years are yet to come
So put your hand back into mine cause onward, we’re pressing on!”
This might just seem like all we’ve got
Yeah, that’s right
But tonight, we’ve got far more than enough
I can see people singing songs to glorify
And people using words to edify
I can see we’ve got a long road to endure
Let’s fix our eyes
On the One who for the joy set before him…

This ain’t the only shot we’ve got so let’s make this one
Count for more than a kamikaze going down without a fight
You know we’re in this fight for life
This is the long haul, man, the resistance
For real growth, through struggle
We never arrive
But we grow together when we push on each other
And I will not be completely satisfied
With stopping short
With settling
When life only lasts for a little bit
So this is how we make the most of it ‘til the end
Tonight’s the night when we were young
And had so much left to learn
To learn and to know and a thousand ways to grow into the
Fullness of the measure of Christ , but we’re not there
But it doesn’t mean that we don’t do
You learn from me and I learn from you
Whether we live or die we do it together
And this takes the rest of our lives

Andrew, Matt, Jason, and Chad play screamy punk rock about life being rad. Really rad. Turns out knowing Jesus is super awesome - better than we could've imagined. Let's turn it up and yell about it.
