Move Forward

[Intro: FLAME] You know, sometimes you've gotta move back In order to move forward, 1921, same stuff going back then November 23rd, it's crazy, same stuff going on then Yeah boy, it's the truth right here boy Yeah boy, all the stuff we've been through boy Yeah boy, we always pull through boy Yeah boy, yeah boy, man talk that talk, turn up [Verse 1: FLAME] They drew a line in the sand And they told us stand on that side Now they've started a new trend And the fans gotta decide Youngin's were looking for a model Now I don't think they're looking no more Now it's like to each his own The moment's gone about to undergo The kind a change we don't wanna see See the sane people change to the wannabes Cause they are living for what people think And they don't see the link Between their influence and who these youngin's want to be But still we got the faithful, refusing to be shaken Cause they don't value the public opinion as a priority Enough to compromise and make the message as watery As necessary even though we're the minority In order to move forward without deviating In a situation we're looking a J. Gresham Machen Probably never heard of him, I know his name's strange But what he contributed was a game changer Christians were comprimising with liberalism, and the modernism Man it was embarrasing But Machen was bold, and he brought clarity And he put his neck on the line and his popularity [Hook: Jai] I'm hoping you see That we've been here before And they think that we keep going too far But we remember your word As we move forward We might suffer now, but we'll get our crown [Verse 2: FLAME] Sometimes, I take them to class boy, yeah boy We can learn from the past boy Yeah boy, church we just gotta hold fast boy Yeah boy, man talk that talk, turn up See ain't it crazy how history repeated Now we find ourselves in the same place Dealing with the liberalism That tempted the Christians to compromise in the same ways See the culture says it was enlightened through modern science Now our knowledge was heightened with new information Reshaping our conscious Now we live autonomously to our liking (wow) And this shook the church up Now some Christians panicking and tryin' to keep up In order to be down they're hanging some things up Some essential Christian doctrines have gotta get cut Sound familiar? Liberalism expanded It's not only religious, the secularism advances (facts) They stand firm in their convictions (facts) They even function like a secular religion Putting pressure to redefine what marriage is Certain things should only happen in the marriage bed Between a woman and a man it's so discouraging But we gonna stand on the word, cause it's inerrant man We know the end, so we ain't gonna fear though Just keep showing love even though they think that we the weirdos We know the end, so we ain't gonna fear though Just keep speaking truth even though they think that we the weirdos [Hook: Jai] I'm hoping you see That we've been here before And they think that we keep going too far But we remember your Word As we move forward We might suffer now, but we'll get our crown [Outro: Isiah Williams] And what that does, it freezes from fear. Your ministries are moving into a time of cultural tumult and you're going to be afraid. Some of you are going to be so afraid, that you are going to want to negotiate away parts of the gospel. But the gospel defines us in such a way, that we are able to see ourselves as the people of God within that cross, so that we know that the worst thing that can possibly happen to us is not being beheaded by jihadists.
