For Today is by far one of the most vocal bands about Jesus! Every live show, Mattie Montgomery usually preaches to the crowd and tells them about Christ. I’ve been to many Christian concerts and Mattie holds the reigns in proclaiming the gospel to the lost. He is not afraid about what the crowd thinks. Many criticize him as he stands for God, but for those who believe in Christ, he is an inspiration and role model. For Today does not leave you wondering what they believe in and they are extremely gifted. Here are my favorite 10 songs by For Today with some awesome lyrics for each song!
10. King, Breaker
Favorite Lyric – “This is my generation, and I will not watch it die. You are the only hope. It’s our destiny to stand tall at Your side. You are the only hope. Beyond comprehension, Your voice will shake the earth. You are the only hope, and so I bring you praise.
Bonus Lyric – “Long live the King, Jesus!”
9. Words Of Hope, Ekklesia
Favorite Lyric – “This gift delivered by our God. These words of hope are yours to take. You may be fearful but you are not alone. I will be there to help you through.”
8. Saul Of Tarsus, Portraits
Favorite Lyric – “I will never be silenced... I will resist my sin to the point of blood, and I will wear my scars like badges of honor. But let my hope cry out that my God is greater than the pain of persecution. My God is greater than this world.”
7. Fight The Silence, Fight The Silence
This song is so good. We all need to stand for those thrown into prostitution or slavery. Make a stand. Say something. Do Something!
Favorite Lyric – “Broken, abused, and exploited for the sick satisfaction of selfish men. Only a coward would try to ignore it, but we can raise our voice and bring it to an end! Fight, fight, fight the silence! Set the captives free! Fight, fight, fight the silence! They're a slave to a system of apathy, bought and sold. Their right to life has been taken away, bought and sold. Bring an end to slavery! Open our eyes!”
6. Seraphim, Breaker
Favorite Lyric – “We are sent from before the throne to stand up and speak out, and let hell tremble when they hear us say, ‘We are the burning ones, and we will not be contained!”
5. Foundation, Immortal
Favorite Lyric – “I have built my life on the rock of my salvation, and I will not be moved from my firm foundation. I will not be moved from my firm foundation. I will stand on the Word of my God, with everything. I’m not ashamed to say I will stand. The sword of Truth in my hand is conquering every demon’s stronghold.”
4. Joel (The Watchman), Portraits
Favorite Lyric – “Let the trumpet sound for the coming King. The almighty approaches! Let the whole world see. Wake up!”
3. Agape, Ekklesia
Favorite Lyric – “There is no greater love than laying your life down for a friend. If we loved God to a teaspoon of his overflowing cup what would this world then see?”
2. Devastator, Breaker
This song is so motivating! Satan’s end is coming! Be excited about his demise! He is wretched and the lake of fire is his eternal place of torment and anguish!
Favorite Lyric – “I will cast you down at the foot of the cross He hung from! I will stand behind my Savior, as He burns your kingdom down! And I will see you on your knees before the King of Kings! You will lose your throne to the chosen ones! The chosen ones will rise!”
1. Fearless, Immortal
This song is my life anthem! There is no need to fear! Jesus won the war on the cross! Check out these powerful lyrics!
We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid! [3x]
We will not, we will not, we will not, we are fearless!
Fearless!
We bear the mark of the uncreated God so what should we fear?
We bear the scars of the Holy Risen Son so tell me what should we fear?
Every threat is hollow because our victory is already set in stone!
We are the fearless ones!
We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid! [2x]
Though we stand in this dark valley, we will not be afraid. For we know that You are near. [2x]
You are near!
I can feel the courage rising in the hearts of the sons of God! I can feel a fire burning across the earth we stand as one!
We are not dismayed by the darkness that surrounds us here because we know that when all hell closes in if we stand and fight we are not alone!
Though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we are not alone! We will fear no evil for You are near!
We are the fearless ones!
We will not, we will not, we will not be afraid! [2x]
Though we stand in this dark valley, we will not be afraid. For we know that You are near. [2x]
You are near!
He can't stop the kingdom! You'll see him bow at the throne on judgment day! So let the devil come!
We are fearless! Fearless!
So let the devil come!
