----------------------

There is a choice for me to be upfront 
but I might not be the person that you thought
and again these words that try to comfort me
might be the end of what I try to be

Tried and true, i see the path. 
led astray on my behalf 
too fast 
but if you try to let things go 
there might be something worth to know
we are, who we are 

We Feel the need to say we disagree   
It helps to mold a personality
an earnest feeling guiding you to speak
will make you whole and just might do the trick 

Tried and true, we see the path
led astray on our behalf 
too slow
but if we try to let things go 
there might be something worth to know
we are, who we are

Godspeed

LYRICS
Soldiers of the cross arise. Gird your armour bright.
Mighty are your enemies and the battle you must fight. 
Over a faithless fallen world. Listen to Christ’s command
Prepare your arms and hearts for war, the day of battle is at hand.

Where the shadows darkest lie, carry truths unsullied ray
Where the crimes of blackest dye, there the saving Christ display

Fighting for Jehovah.
Fighting for Jehovah.

To the lost and weary world, tell of Jesus love
To the outcast and the poor, speak of peace be like a dove
Let the saving herald go, let the Gospel now be known
Perfect Love will win this war if our hearts become His throne. 
  
Oh do no let thy Lord depart or close thine eyes against the Light
Oh sinner harden not thy heart. Would you be saved? Why not tonight?

Soldiers of our God arise the day is drawing near
Shake the slumber from your eyes, the light is growing clear
Adonai we call on You. Guard our hearts and minds
Holy one you are the Truth. Eternal Life we find. 

Living For Jehovah. 

I really enjoyed creating this.... always remembering that fighting for God ain't like defending God (as if God couldn't defend Himself)... or .. fighting etc people who don't believe etc.... It means confronting personal sin, and where possible, sharing the gospel so that others can repent and fall in love with God too.. Sin is not a fave topic in the world, but the ill of the planet are symptoms of the deepest problem... namely we are totally lost without Christ. Fighting for Jehovah means surrendering to Christ and sharing Gods love to others.... and .... pushing forward in personal devotion and commitment to Christ…. And yeah...even though the gospel is freaking awesome, opposition is everywhere… internally and externally and it ain't easy. We have to fight for Jehovah. We also have to battle through in prayer for the people we love and are concerned about.

FIGHTING FOR JEHOVAH

No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls

When I'm with You

You Don't Mean Anything

I'd Do Anything

The Worst Day Ever

I'm Just a Kid

One by One

From their new millennium rise to MTV superstardom through pop-punk’s modern resurgence, SIMPLE PLAN have been an indelible part of pop culture since forming in Montreal in 1999. They’ve sold 10 million albums worldwide, won multiple Juno Awards, performed at the 2010 Winter Olympics – and, most recently, launched the omnipresent #ImJustAKid TikTok challenge that’s spawned more than 3.4 million videos, including clips from Hilary Duff, Ed Sheeran, Usher and Venus and Serena Williams.

But most importantly, they’ve never lost connection with what really matters: their audience. “We feel so lucky to have fans who love our old and new material,” says drummer Chuck Comeau. “We’re very proud of our past, but we’re even more excited about the future. We truly always feel we’re 3 minutes away from the best or biggest song of our career.”

That ambition is fully on display on the band’s sixth studio album, HARDER THAN IT LOOKS. The first self-released album from Comeau, vocalist Pierre Bouvier and guitarists Sébastien Lefebvre and Jeff Stinco, the album respects Simple Plan’s storied career while pushing forward in new ways, with songs like “The Antidote,” “Ruin My Life” (ft. Deryck Whibley) and “Congratulations” set to stand as fan favorites for years to come.

“It’s amazingly complex to be in a band for 20-plus years, to keep going, stay relevant and manage all the challenges that come your way,” Bouvier says. “It’s the furthest thing from a ‘simple plan’ – it’s truly a lot harder than it looks. Throughout our career, it’s taken a while to be mature enough to understand that our sound is an asset, not a liability. On this album we said: ‘Let’s just embrace who we are and not be afraid to do what we do best.’ Making a good Simple Plan record is just as hard as making something off the beaten path.
