lyrics

Let the old man fall away
Let him fall into his grave
And let the new man rise up in his place
Because Jesus called his name

We are not cars and clothes, jewelry, and homes
We are precious, not worthless bags of bones
Infants to full grown we are children of God
His creation, like the sea, moon, and the stars

We are healers and leaders, teachers, and lovers
Fathers, mothers, providers, sisters, and brothers
I've discovered my purpose found I'm not worthless
The inside counts, dead and gone adds up the surface

Know what my worth is I will not be purchased
Put a not for sale sign right where my soul lives
Do more than give and take for goodness sake
Stop sleeping on reality and stayed awake

Bypassed the fake, searched out what's real
Because I fell apart doesn't mean I can't rebuild
Comfortable being still, I enjoy the quiet
Write down all my wrongs and clear my conscience

Fight for my right to lay down for no one
My revolution has nothing to do with guns
It's the right way or none, do or don't get it done
Face off with everything from a challenge never run

Come undone in my art, follow my heart
Make sure to finish everything that I start
Tear apart any foundation built by another man
If there is where God has me, there I'll stand

I was chained and wretched
Enslaved to my transgressions
Had my own objections
Until Jesus called my name

I was blind and weary
Locked down by pain and worry
Running circles in a hurry
Until Jesus called my name

I would have been so finished
Sin would keep on winning
But it’s his plan from the beginning
For me to call his name

From his initiation
We worship with elation
From Sinners to holy nation
When Jesus called my name

I’m just a sinful man
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me

Riverview Music Lansing Charter Township, Michigan

We like to see our music as varied as the weather here in Michigan; sometimes there's synth beats, sometimes there's banjo, sometimes it's rock, and there's a decent chance someone will say it's too loud. But whatever the style, we hope our music can be used to respond to who God is and what He has done. ... more
