Today’s SOTD from Arkansas’ rock band Jonah33 was a single released during a 2004 campaign called Redeem The Vote that in essence was shooting to let Christian voices be heard during voter registration aimed for youths. This has always been my fave song due to the lyrics which remind me of 2 Chronicles 7:14.
Welcome back my friend,
It’s good to see your face again
I’m glad to see you’re up and feeling fine
So many things have changed,
There’s a lot of catching up to do
You’ve been asleep for quite some time
The truth that made us free
Is choked with apathy,
And there’s a crack in our foundation
So hold on, hold on, we’re in
For a bumpy ride
Our nation’s got a situation,
And God gave you a voice
So come on, come on, it’s time
To make a choice
‘Cuz silence never speaks
So God gave you a voice
The question now at hand
Is “What’s the battle plan?
To retrieve all that’s been taken”
Well, silence never speaks
So it’s up to you and me
To obtain amplification
So get up
Stand up
Shout it out
From the mountains high
The morals made of grey
Are destined for decay
We need to get back to black and white
We’re in a desperate situation
And God gave you a voice
‘Cuz silence never speaks
And God gave you a voice
Godly leadership is underrated
And God gave you a voice
The condition of our nation’s understated
And God gave you a voice
And silence never speaks
Our nation’s got a situation
And God gave you a voice
So come on, come on, it’s time
To make a choice
‘Cuz silence never speaks
So God gave you a voice
Godly leadership is underrated
And God gave you a voice
The condition of our nation’s understated
And God gave you a voice
And the trust in what we have is all but faded
And God gave you a voice
And we’re all in danger of becoming jaded
And God gave you a voice
