It's time for a new year...

the battle line is drawn, it's all in black and white
hope is pulling forward and fear from behind
it's time

it's time to make a move, so what will you decide
the clock is ticking on, don't let it pass you by
it's time
it's time

the time is now for lifting souls
the time is now for letting go
from your skin to your core
let light and love come rushing through the door

you learned every song, memorized the verse
took the bread and wine and even bought the shirt
it's time

it's time to hold your shield, it's time to draw your sword
let's be the resistance, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
it's time
it's time

the time is now for lifting souls
the time is now for letting go
from your skin to your core
let light and love come rushing through the door

it's time to make a stand
to put your heart in greater hands
from your skin to your core
let light and love come rushing through the door

sisters, brothers, thieves and lovers
come uncover eternity
turn your faces from finite places
Heaven's grace will set you free

--Phil Wickham

Just do it

"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway.

If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; succeed anyway.

If you are honest people may cheat you; be honest anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the end, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway."

-Mother Theresa
