light of salvation by desperation band

been listening to 'the desperation band' this morning, and i'm really loving what God is proclaiming through this band. it surely doesn't hurt to truly hear a joyful noise being made to the Lord. i wanted to share some lyrics that are on my heart right now. they are from the song 'light of salvation'. you can listen to the song on youtube here.

VERSE 1
All around the world
You hear now's the time
Break the chains and hold them high
Hold them high

We were made for such a time as this
To make a difference
In the world we live
Now we live

CHORUS
Who's dancing who's singing
Who's living a life worth living
We are we are we're shining
The light of salvation
Who's running who's loving
Who's breaking the doors wide open
We are we are we're shining
The light of salvation

VERSE 2
Old has turned to something new and beautiful
Broken dreams are coming true
They're coming true

CHORUS 2
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
We're shining the light of salvation
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
We're shining the light of salvation

BRIDGE
We have made our choice we are
We are a generation with one voice to shout
Of Your salvation

i am especially feeling the chorus and bridge. i want to believe that is God's heart for His people. and i think one reason a lot of people aren't into church and, more gravely, Jesus, is because we who are called by God don't always live a life worth living. we're not always singing, and dancing, and running after Jesus, and loving like Jesus. i know i am not.

so this is an apology to all of those people who have been hurt by christians, or people who say they are christians. i am personally sorry for not loving like Jesus loves. true, in my frailty i do not expect to fully love like God loves, but that's still no excuse. since God, in His infinite wisdom and grace, has decided that it is up to us to be 'Jesus to the world', to be Christ's ambassadors, we are the ones others look to to see what God is like.

and i'll finish, just saying, i hope and pray we are a generation, a people, that the lyrics paint the picture of us being; that we are singing, and dancing, and living a life worth living. that's my prayer for right now.
