Wolves at the Gate- Heralds



Just a note, that some of you reading this probably won't like this style of music. It's definitely a bit more intense than some of the other songs I've posted. But I'm adding the full lyrics to this post so you can read along with the song if that helps any. These guys are all Cedarville alumni, and they just released a new EP (We Are the Ones...it's on iTunes). I got to go to the unveiling concert on campus, and they said there that all of their lyrics come straight from the Bible, which is pretty awesome.

The truth is that we're all heralds of Christ's power and love to those we interact with every day. We need to leave behind the things that we've grown attached to in this world and cry out for God's grace so that we can be lights to the dead souls around us. God has called all of us and sent us to serve, whether we're serving in our hometowns or across the globe. How we live can sometimes speak louder than what we can say.

Check my pulse, am I still breathing?
Will You grasp my wrist and hold it dear to Your heart?
To see if I am beating for You and only You my Father

How we live and fight is who we are
"Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?"
"Who you are is all from Me"

I'm leaving behind the things of this world
"Follow me my son and let the dead bury their own"
So test me oh Lord, examine my soul
"Follow me my son for what you reap you will have sown"

Give light to my eyes to see Your glory divine and break through these skies
Hear me when I cry to see Your grace come down and purge these dead lives
"Have I not given you a spirit of power and love?"
I will live to fight for these dead lives
"Have I not given you a spirit of power and love?"
How we live and fight is who we are

And as You dwell inside my heart your burning a fire that's growing
So when I feel the warmth subside rekindle the embers that's burning

Check my pulse, am I still breathing?
Will You grasp my wrist and hold it dear to Your heart?
To see if I am beating for You

A herald I am
"A mirror to Me"
For sin is destroyed
"You've been set free"
How we live the fight is who we are
"Who you are is all from Me"
"You will suffer but my strength is enough"
Still send me
"Though You will suffer your strength is in Me"
Still send me
