FLAME, Jai - Move Forward lyrics

You know, sometimes you've gotta move back
In order to move forward, 1921
Same stuff going back then
November 23rd, it's crazy
Same stuff going on then
Yeah boy, it's the truth right here boy
Yeah boy
All the stuff we've been through boy
Yeah boy, we always pull through boy
Yeah boy, yeah boy, man talk that talk
Turn up

They drew a line in the sand
And they told us stand on that side
Now they've started a new trend
And the fans gotta decide
Youngin's were looking for a model
Now I don't think they're looking no more
Now it's like to each his own
The moment's gone about to undergo
The kind a change we don't wanna see


See the sane people change to the wannabes
Cause they are living for what people think
And they don't see the link
Between their influence and who these
Youngin's want to be
But still we got the faithful
Refusing to be shaken
Cause they don't value the public
Opinion as a priority
Enough to compromise and make
The message as watery
As necessary even though we're the minority
In order to move forward without deviating
In a situation we're looking
A J gresham Machen
Probably never heard of him
I know his name's strange
But what he contributed was a game changer
Christians were comprimising with liberalism
And the modernism man it was embarrasing
But Machen was bold, and he brought clarity
And he put his neck on
The line and his popularity
I'm hoping you see
That we've been here before
And they think that we keep going too far
But we remember your word as we move forward
We might suffer now, but we'll get our crown

Sometimes, I take them to class boy, yeah boy
We can learn from the past boy
Yeah boy, church we just gotta hold fast boy
Yeah boy, man talk that talk, turn up
See ain't it crazy how history repeated
Now we find ourselves in the same place
Dealing with the liberalism
That tempted the Christians to compromise
In the same ways see the culture says it was
Enlightened through modern science
Now our knowledge was heightened
With new information reshaping our conscious
Now we live autonomously to our liking (wow)
And this shook the church up
Now some Christians panicking and
Tryin' to keep up
In order to be down they're
Hanging some things up
Some essential Christian doctrines have
Gotta get cut
Sound familiar? Liberalism expanded
It's not only religious
The secularism advances (facts)
They stand firm in their convictions (facts)
They even function like a secular religion
Putting pressure to redefine what marriage is
Certain things should only happen
In the marriage bed between a woman and a
Man it's so discouraging
But we gonna stand on the word
Cause it's inerrant man we know the end
So we ain't gonna fear though
Just keep showing love even though they
Think that we the weirdos we know the end
So we ain't gonna fear though
Just keep speaking truth even though they
Think that we the weirdos
I'm hoping you see
That we've been here before
And they think that we keep going too far
But we remember your Word as we move forward
We might suffer now, but we'll get our crown

And what that does
It freezes from fear your ministries are
Moving into a time of cultural
Tumult and you're going to be
Afraid some of you are
Going to be so afraid
That you are going to want to negotiate away
Parts of the gospel but the gospel
Defines us in such a way
That we are able to see ourselves as
The people of God within that cross
So that we know that the worst
Thing that can possibly happen
To us is not being beheaded by jihadists
The worst thing that can happen
To you is being abandoned to your
Sin, being cursed by God
Being crucified outside the camp - and
That has already happened to you
