The Resistance

aaron niequist

all creation waits

bated breath in pain

for redemption’s day

all creation cries

floods and charcoal skies

things are not alright

with brokenness and broken fists we beat upon the breast of falleness

we hear the call of kingdom come as one more train we chase to only miss

but we will never give up on it

we’re part of the resistance

we’re running in the revolution

we’re part of the insistance

that we are more than institution

we’re part of the tradition

of spirit- fueled evolution

we’re part of the resistance

we’re running in the revolution,

revolution

all creation groans

in one voice alone

for them to be shown

all creation cries

floods and charcoal skies

things are not alright

we’re living in a world built on the walls between the haves and never wills

but we’re following a King who’s ears are bent to those forgotten and unfilled

and He will never give up on it

we’re standing up

and we’re kneeling down

and we’re digging in

and we’re reaching out

and we’re loving more

and we’re holding less

and we won’t back down

from this holy mess

and we’re chosing hope

and we’re chosing peace

we were chosen by Grace

to bring flesh and feet

to the Loving More

to the Holding Rest

and we won’t back down

and we won’t back down

and we won’t back down
