Now Is The Time To Stand

I was looking at this band on grooveshark and saw these 2 songs.  I have it on the playlist on the upper left so you can listen to it.  It is a real calling to me.  It reminds me of what it means to be A MAN.  My dad created the acrostic for me when I turned 13.

A.cknowledge Christ as Lord and Savior

M.astered by none other.  Not fear, lust, or passivity. 
A.ccepts the accountability responsibility that comes with the privilege.  
N.OW IS THE TIME TO LEAD COURAGEOUSLY

That last one applies to everyone.  We have lived in darkness but Jesus stepped in and NOW is the time to stand up and make a difference. 

We stand, we rise, we give our lives.
We stand, we rise, we give our lives.

[Spoken]
It began long ago, when darkness, through its deceit captured the hearts of the sons and daughters of light. We looked for light but we found only darkness. We searched for bright skies but walked in gloom. We fumbled like the blind along the wall, feeling our way like people without eyes. We were destined to fall, even in the brightest days. We stumbled as if it were dark. Among the living, we were like the dead. We looked for justice, but it never came. We looked for rescue but it was far from us. So He, Himself, stepped in to save us with his strong arm and justice to sustain Him. He put on righteousness as armor, salvation His helmet. He clothed Himself with the robe of vengeance and wrapped Himself in a cloak of divine passion. He slipped out of his royal garments, left eternity to enter time, divinity to wrap himself in humanity. The sea of glass, for the ocean of separation. He left peace, and for the first time felt pain. Because the very hands that held the stars were now sentenced to wear my scars. It was love that purchased this traitor’s heart. It's what the prophets spoke about when they envisioned light living in men once again. For this reason, I AM LEGEND, predestined for greatness, built for the final hour. I was born for this with weapons in hand, armor in place. I now march to the beat of a different drum. I will break through battle lines that have been drawn by discouragement and despair. What more is left to be said? Time has met its end. It's now or never. Collision with me, myself, and I. You see my mission today is clear: to wake the dead. So let freedom's song rage. You’re not abandoned. You're not alone. Last day warriors arise from yesterday's ash and raise your fist with us. We are the army that is charging upon the land. Defeat is no longer and option! IT IS VICTORY.

We stand, we rise, we give our lives.
We stand, we rise, we give our lives.
We stand, we rise, we give our lives.

So will you join?  Or sit on the sidelines?  I know my choice.
