lyrics

So it's safe to admit this is not what you expected.
I am honestly unimpressive
And none of us are experts, in fact

On a scale of 1 to 10, this is 12 Tribes/ disciples
One dozen misfits is all it takes to change the world,
Ask God's people what this is

This is gospel
This is feet washing preaching
This is war;
Love like a double-edged sword

This is the virtue in harsh truth,
Hallelujah ringing from broken bones
We are final becoming first
Doves wise as serpents
The meek inheriting Earth

Blessed are the nerds, the misfits and all the kids picked last.
This is for the stories you've never shared and the words you are still scared to say
For showing the camera your bad side and knowing you are still worth getting to know

This is for those of us no one takes time to get to know
This is for every time you took a "no" straight to the jaw and kept going.
This is rise against the lie that we are alone, unloved, unwanted.

This is for your darkness
For the mourning that has endured all night
For the joy that comes in the morning that still hasn't come

This is for sunrise!
For swimming towards shore
Though we may be unsure it's there

For believing though we don't see,
For the God who rewards those who seek and for the peacemakers who will see Him.

This is for your first time singing in public,
For your questions, your fears, and your doubts
This is for first drafts for that poem you wrote this morning and are still wondering is this good enough?
Am I good enough?
This is to say you are.

This is for telling the truth even if your voice cracks as you do,
For honest questioning
For admittedly being unsure.
For the strength to admit you hurt,
This is for courage.

This is raising "open" over "mic"
Choosing "ours" over "mine"
This is laying down my rights for you.
This is chasing Christ the most honest way we know.

This is coming home.
