FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH LYRICS

1. Give Up, Grow Old

Told a thousand times to get realistic
Too positive, too optimistic
When you get older this will make you tired
Give up all the things you desired
The real world will make you see this is futile, just let it go
Settle in for a sterile life, giving up in the status quo
But I've got bad news cause I won't be slowing down
Relentless living, until I receive that faithful crown
So take a step back and watch me prove you wrong
Cause my passion and convictions are just that strong
I live this life cause I know it's right
Call me what you want, I'm gritty, grimy and full of light.
I'm not chasing after status or security
Focused only on what, God says I need
Seek first the kingdom and let the rest pass away
Keep my eyes dead set focused on that goal every day
IF GROWING OLD MEANS, GIVING UP
THAN I'll STAY YOUNG FOREVER

2. Love Devoid Of Feeling

Heard enough songs to know how it goes
Get in, get bored, head for where greener grass grows
There's no commitment so it's not legitimate
Nothing left to stop you from jumping ship
We live in a world where they say nothing lasts
And you won't say different if you look at my past
But I've finally learned to do it right
Cause that word has no meaning, if it's not for life
Get over those fairy tale romances
Cause real love is about second chances
It's making that choice every day
To live for someone else in every way

[Chorus:]
If I could speak in tongues of angels
If I could move mountains with my faith
If I gave everything I have, away
I would still have nothing
I would still die empty
So when I say that word I want to mean it
Spend my whole life just trying to prove it

It's one thing to say that little word
But will you stick around when life get's hard?
I've fallen in love with a love devoid of feeling
Learned love as a verb, as choice unwavering
Its self-sacrifice in a cross bearing sort of way
Putting on the character of Christ everyday

3. The Other Son

We watched it side by side
Cloud over the temple and fire at night
Saw waters part before our eyes
Cried as food fell from the skies
Can you remember those days?
Can you remember those days?
We knew who we were and who our maker was
Our eyes focused hard on keeping His laws
We heard the promise of a land our own
Trusted that He would grow the seeds he'd sown
Can you remember those days?
Can you remember those days?

[Chorus:]
But you demanded your inheritance
And left with your eyes set on better things
Now I wish that you would come back home
So we could sit for eternity and truly know
Who we are again.

After all we've seen
I find it hard to understand
How you could just walk away
Is there something I could have done?
Said more, said less, said anything at all?
What can I do to bring the exiled home?
All I have left is fear.
Sometimes it seems helpless but I know I've got to do, whatever I can
So I'll keep living in a way that makes you question
Cause I know that somewhere deep inside of you
Is a part that hears the still small voice of truth
I long for the day we see you walking up that road
I promise I won't be that other son
I'll be running out to meet you
I'll be running out to meet you
