I recently purchased Flyleaf's latest Memento Mori at Amazon (only $5). As a rocker I love their sound and I love the singers voice. What I appreciate most is that they are unabashed about who they are as followers of Jesus.
Below are the lyrics to the first cut on the album, Beautiful Bride. This is what it really is about. Now we just need to live the words of Jesus to make it reality.
You may not appreciate their music if you're not into rock, but the lyrics are undeniably true.
You can watch the video here.
Beautified diversity
Functioning as one body
Every part encouraged by the other
No one independent of another
You're irreplaceable, indispensable
You're incredible, incredible
Beautiful bride
Body of Christ
One flesh abiding
Strong and unifying
Fighting ends in forgiveness
Unite and fight all division
Beautiful bride
Strengthen your arms now
Train your fingers for battle
Urgencys here now
Train your fingers for battle
Fighting this violence
With your feet wrapped in peace
Sad tears and silence
Now screams of joy
Victory
Beautiful bride
Body of christ
One flesh abiding
Strong and unifying
Fighting ends in forgiveness
Unite and fight all division
Beautiful bride
Beautiful bride
Body of Christ
One flesh abiding
Strong and unifying
We're not gonna fall and forget
How far you went to pick us up
If one parts hurt the whole body's sick
If one part mourns we all mourn with him
Rejoice, well sing with you
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Beautiful bride
Body of Christ
One flesh abiding
Strong and unifying
Fighting ends in forgiveness
Unite and fight all division
Beautiful bride
Beautiful bride
Body of Christ
One flesh abiding
Strong and unifying
Fighting ends in forgiveness
Unite and fight all division
Beautiful bride
The division in the body is what is hurting it today. If we can get past our own selfish desires and see people for who they are His Kingdom will near.
