Where can you run to escape from yourself?

I haven't heard Dare You To Move in a long time. And very early this morning it played on the radio. On a non-christian station which made me smile. Buts it powerful words took a hold of me.

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here


Where are we gonna go?
We can run and run from ourselves but there's sinful nature right in us. And sure we can be busy, occupied, but you never ever ignore yourself.
But we're lucky enough to have God. right there. With his salvation and mercy and forgiveness and abundant love.

Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell

So maybe, even in those valleys of that life walk we all have, it's not that bad.When we sit in that dark low place where we can't even see the sun or feel warmth, it doesn't mean we need to dig out a little hole and hide from ourselves.

I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before


Today is a new chance. A new day. The past is past. Let it go. Get up and move beyond the sin and dirtiness we sit and wait in.
god's given us what we need. Now it's our turn to move and seek him and do his work.

Salvation is here

  1. That's so neat that you heard Dare You to Move on the radio. They hardly ever play it here (and definitely not on the non-christian station), so it's really special when you *do* hear it.
    It's one of my favorite Switchfoot songs... in fact it's the one that got me hooked. What an amazing message!
