This Generation.....

As I was on my way home from service tonight, I remembered this song our son-n-law wrote. Thought the lyrics went well with Kevin's message. Blessed that Matt and Heather are so in love with there Lord and Savior.


Remnant Cry
by Matthew Duhon

Wake up! Arise and shine!
Your light has come
Wake up to find His mercies new with every morning sun
Don't want to say "amen" and fall asleep again
We were saved by grace for more than we've become

Rise up! With calloused knees and broken hearts
Rise up! We are a people called by God and set apart
We are not our own! We live for Christ alone.
Our mission is to be the hands that bear the scars

We are an army rising!
We are a remnant crying!

We are an army rising!
We are a remnant crying!

Come on! No more to hide in silent shame
Come on! Repent!
The kingdom's here is the hope that we proclaim
No time for argument!
No room for counterfeit!
By our love they'll know that Jesus is the way

We are an army rising!
We are a remnant crying!

We are an army rising!
We are a remnant crying!


We are the left out, cast down, laughed at
We are peculiar to say the least
We gotta go back and tell the rest that
Jesus came to set us free
How dare we hide this, keep this secret
When Christ has bled and died to meet the need
When they see us they must see Jesus
For us to be the church - the remedy

This generation will see the glory of our God
This generation will be the turning of the tide

This generation will see the glory of our God
This generation will be the turning of the tide
