Escape From Reason

Down Down Down
That's the way we're traveling
Our social fabric unravels
But who pulled the string
Philosophers politicians or the school teachers
Game of life and death and we're sitting on the bleachers
What happened to our voice
What happened to our influence
Tell me who will listen to uneducated congregants
And why should they when all we have to say is
Bumper sticker doctrine and cute catch phrases
Does this amaze us that no one will take us seriously
We talk big but then we sit in atrophy
Apathy thay make comedy of our hypocricy
Unaware of true biblical philosophy
So we gotta watch what we do and what they see
Cause we represent Christ plus Christianity

The underground sound here to take your mind higher
I pound the ground Burn it down like fire
We walk the long path, Still on the first half
You escape reason, we escape wrath

God is not concerned with Gallup Poll opinion
Or if the whole human race were to disagree with Him
Truth is what I spit
But you ain't hearing it
Or you ain't having it
But it don't matter which
'Cause God is still himself
and He could strike us dead
Even in the pink of health
You don't think I should say that
You say you don't believe that
Our opinion counts for zero,
And that is simply that,
Like a Mojo that's how it goes that's just the
way of things,
God is not impressed disagreeing won't change anything,
We all must beg for mercy and surely God'll show it
There's a reason for our hope you ask me how I know it
God said it and that without a doubt
"He who comes to me I will in no way cast out"

Chorus

(bridge)
A city under siege who will you believe
champions of truth or of apostasy
you wanna take on me
He controls all that was is and what will be

Band Note: The title is taken from a Francis Schaffer book of the same
name. The first verse is directed at the church the second
at the unbelieving world.

The church has lost someting. Partly the ability to be
relevant to our culture. By relevant I don't mean seeming
cool. People are searching and we can't guide them. They
have questions and not only do we not know the answers
most of us don't know the questions. Why? Because we
don't know God's word or how to defend it! Instead of
being diligent in our studies and learning how to answer
the questions we say "You can't know anything for sure",
"just have faith." I agree with having faith but it's faith
in Christ we need not some kind of blind leap into
irrationality.

There are those who would like to use reason to destroy
God. There's a problem with that. Without God there
can be no supreme authority and therefore no absolutes
of any kind. No absolute morals, no absolute knowledge
and no absolute truth! In trying to escape from God you
have instead escaped from reason and into the hands
of the very God you were running from.
