Speaking Louder Than Before

Jeremy Camp has a new cd out, and I was previewing all of the songs on iTunes earlier today. The title of the cd is "Speaking Louder Than Before", and one of the songs has that title as well. I liked how it sounded - it's upbeat and the lyrics sounded really powerful, so I bought it.





Here are the lyrics

Hear now this declaration
From out across the nations
We need to wake up and understand




Many hurting hearts are crying

But our voices seem to be dying

Can you see the battle raging on?



We are the light to reach this world
We are the salt preserving these souls
Let's show them the love that we've received now



We are, we are in desperation
We need to reach this generation
We are speaking louder than before



We are the hope that's been forgotten
We have the love that will be brought and
We are speaking louder than before



Take every chance that you can
Move together taking a stand
Never losing heart, we'll speak as one



We need to be the image of Christ
Show love and serve at all times
We can make a difference in these lands



We are the light to reach this world
We are the salt preserving these souls
Let's show them the love that we've received now



We are, we are in desperation
We need to reach this generation
We are speaking louder than before



We are the hope that's been forgotten
We have the love that will be brought and
We are speaking louder than before



Everything's so surreal
But this urgency I feel
We should be reaching out to all these desperate pleas
Oh, the meat is real can't you feel
Let's call it revolution
My beating heart is breaking for them
That's why I'm speaking now
That's why I'm speaking now



We are, we are in desperation
We need to reach this generation
We are speaking louder than before



We are the hope that's been forgotten
We are the love that will be brought and
We are speaking louder than before



We are, we are, we're speaking louder
We are, we are, we're speaking louder
We are speaking louder than before
We are speaking louder than before
Oh, yeah




I am in love with this song already!
I feel like the lyrics really speak for themselves, and I pray that we, as Christians, can come together as the body of Christ and change the world!
