Every day there's a new serenade
That is pulling my ear to the ground
Every hour there's a new voice shouting
"I am the Way, I am the Truth, I am the Life!"

Every second another distraction
Is spitting its death in my face
But every threat's just a fly in the web
You won't take me alive or dead

The hand of the Father
Is my shield and my dagger
And I won't serve another god
The blood of Messiah
Is my torch and my fire
And I won't serve another god

The hand of the Father
Is my shield and my dagger
And I won't serve another god
The blood of Messiah
Is my torch and my fire
And I won't serve another god

You can set your idols all around me
And play your sacred sound
But I'll never bow down
I'll never bow down
You can take me to the highest mountain
And offer me a crown
But I'll never bow down
I'll never bow down

Every artery out of my heart
Is exploding with love for His name
Every ounce of my tongue and my mouth declares
"He is the Way, He is the Truth, He is the Life!"

Every sin that I've ever committed
Is thrown to hell by His grace
Now every threat's just a fly in the web
You won't take me alive or dead
You won't take me alive or dead

The hand of the Father
Is my shield and my dagger
And I won't serve another god
The blood of Messiah
Is my torch and my fire
And I won't serve another god

No I'll never serve another
No I'll never serve another

You can set your idols all around me
And play your sacred sound
But I'll never bow down
I'll never bow down
You can take me to the highest mountain
And offer me a crown
But I'll never bow down
I'll never bow down
I'll never bow down
I'll never bow down, no

You can set your idols all around me
And play your sacred sound
But I'll never bow down
Take me to the highest mountain
And offer me a crown
But I'll never bow down
I'll never bow down

You can set your idols all around me
And play your sacred sound
But I'll never bow down
I'll never bow down
You can hold your riches high above me
Or make me live without
But I'll never bow down
I'll never bow down
But I'll never bow down
I'll never bow down
I will never bow down
I will never bow down

The hand of the Father
Is my shield and my dagger
And I won't serve another god
The blood of Messiah
Is my torch and my fire
And I won't serve another god

No I'll never serve another
No I'll never serve another
No I'll never serve another
There is no one like Him

Wow, this is actually good. Metal is not my thing, but I like how this combines elements of punk. :)

Goes to show that not all metal has demonic themes, as there is such thing as Christian Metal. There are a subset of Christians who sadly think that rock, electronic dance music and synthesizers can not be used.

However, Psalm 149 says we can use instruments, so that means it is okay, and even encouraged to use guitars or anything else at our disposal to worship God.

Psalm 149:3 (NIV): "Let them praise his [God's] name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and harp."

Thank you, my brother. I am happy that you enjoyed this song from Disciple.
Last year, I played this song on repeat multiple times because not only did I enjoy the music, but the very powerful lyrics of this song are a mighty blessing of encouragement to me from our Lord and Savior.

You are welcome, brother in Christ. God is our shield, and armor. He will protect us, no matter what. Even if we pass away, we will be with God. I will fight against my flesh, and let Jesus help me grow closer to God.


Here is a classic, from my childhood, but made into metal style that I found a few minutes ago. :) This song, which was popularized by Third Day in 2003, was made when Christian music was really good (1980s - 2012 or so, in my opinion).

Steve Hindalong and Marc Byrd - God of Wonders (This Surrender Cover):



Lyrics (2000, by Steve Hindalong and Marc Byrd):

Lord of all creation
Lord of water, earth and sky
The heavens are your Tabernacle
Glory to the Lord on high
And God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are holy, holy
Lord of heaven and earth
Lord of heaven and earth
So early in the morning
I will celebrate the light
As I stumble in the darkness
I will call your name by night
God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are holy, holy
Lord of heaven and earth
Lord of heaven and earth
Lord of heaven and earth
Lord of heaven and earth
Hallelujah! To the Lord of heaven and earth
Hallelujah! To the Lord of heaven and earth
Hallelujah! To the Lord of heaven and earth
The God of wonders beyond our galaxy (You)
You are holy, holy
Precious Lord, reveal Your heart to me
Father, holy, holy (Lord God Almighty)
The universe declares Your majesty (You are holy)
You are holy (yes you are), holy (holy You are)
Holy (Jesus saves), holy
Hallelujah! To the Lord of heaven and earth
Hallelujah! To the Lord of heaven and earth
Hallelujah! To the Lord of heaven and earth
Hallelujah! To the Lord of heaven and earth
Hallelujah! To the Lord of heaven and earth
Hallelujah! To the Lord of heaven and earth

That is a really cool version of "God of Wonders". It's pretty good, except my personal taste in metal vocals does not like it when the vocalist growls. I do enjoy the other vocalist in that video. His voice sounded really smooth and pleasant to hear.

I remember the older versions of that song, including when Third Day made that song a top 20 Christian hit back in 2003. I bet that you would not have guessed that I have at least 4 cd albums from Third Day in my collection. :)

Yeah, I do not like when the vocalist growls either (as it is too harsh), I like the smoother vocals, so we both have a similar taste.

Third Day is a good Christian band, and I remember having a CD with that song. Wow, 4 CD albums of Third Day, that is awesome. :) Do you like the Newsboys also? Another classic band from the 2000s, same with Selah and Passion. 2000s were a good time to be alive and grow up through.

I have enjoyed and been blessed by the Newsboys and also MercyMe for over 20 years. Both those bands have a lot of great songs. I still have a good collection of old cd's from them. I am glad that there's some men in your generation who still listen to MercyMe and the Newsboys. :D

Hey, young people can be old souls, my brother. Right now, I have to get ready for work, but maybe I can find some 1980s-2000s Christian playlist at work on my work headphones. Classics...
