Song of the Day: Courageous, Casting Crowns

A new song from Casting Crowns. I heard it today and it gave me goosebumps. A call to men - be men. This is what stirs your woman's heart.

We will reignite the passion, may the watchers become warriors. Let the Men of God Arise!




We were made to be courageous
We were made to lead the way
We could be the generation
That finally breaks the chains

We were made to be courageous
We were made to be courageous

We were warriors on the front lines
Standing, unafraid
But now we're watchers on the sidelines
While our families slip away

Where are you, men of courage?
You were made for so much more
Let the pounding of our hearts cry
We will serve the lord

We were made to be courageous
And we're taking back the fight
We were made to be courageous
And it starts with us tonight

The only way we'll ever stand
Is on our knees with lifted hands
Make us courageous
Lord, make us courageous

This is our resolution
Our answer to the call
We will love our wives and children
We refuse to let them fall

We will reignite the passion
That we buried deep inside
May the watchers become warriors
Let the men of god arise

We were made to be courageous
And we're taking back the fight
We were made to be courageous
And it starts with us tonight

The only way we'll ever stand
Is on our knees, with lifted hands
Make us courageous
Lord, make us courageous

Seek justice
Love mercy
Walk on. be with your god
Seek justice. love mercy
Walk on. be with your god

In the war of the mind I will make my stand (seek justice. love mercy. walk on. be with your god)
In the battle of the heart and the battle of the hand (seek justice. love mercy. walk on. be with your god)

In the war of the mind I will make my stand (seek justice. love mercy. walk on. be with your god)
In the battle of the heart and the battle of the hand (seek justice. love mercy. walk on. be with your god)

We were made to be courageous
And we're taking back the fight
We were made to be courageous
And it starts with us tonight

The only way we'll ever stand
Is on our knees, with lifted hands
Make us courageous
Lord, make us courageous

We were made to be courageous
In the war of the mind I will make my stand (seek justice. love mercy. walk on. be with your god)

Lord, make us courageous
In the war of the mind I will make my stand (seek justice. love mercy. walk on. be with your god)

Slow Fade

Every time I hear this song I get goosebumps. We live in this visually, sexualized environment, which we've been groomed for desensitization ( a.To make (an individual) nonreactive or insensitive to an antigen b.To make emotionally insensitive or unresponsive, as by long exposure or repeated shocks) to the effects of stimuli on our brains and our kids brains from very early ages. The true importance of what we allow in to our psyche, via auditory, visually or kinetically has been lost. We've adopted the lie of "educate your children" by exposure that we're simply handing ourselves & them over to The Slow Fade.

-Casting Crowns

Be careful little eyes what you see
It's the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings
Be careful little feet where you go
For it's the little feet behind you that are sure to follow

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away.

People never crumble in a day
It's a slow fade.

Be careful little ears what you hear
When flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near
Be careful little lips what you say
For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray

The journey from your mind to your hands
Is shorter than you're thinking
Be careful if you think you stand
You just might be sinking

People never crumble in a day
Daddies never crumble in a day
Families never crumble in a day

(sung by a child)

Oh be careful little eyes what see
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
For the Father up above is looking down in love
Oh be careful little eyes what you see.
