about
Pandemic is the second single from new Christian Metalcore band White Robe Nation. Chris started to write the lyrics a few weeks into the major Covid-19 Lockdowns starting in March, 2020. The song is a call to believers to put their trust and faith in Jesus rather than living in fear of everything around them. It also comes a timely moment after major protests sparking in the United States over police brutality, and racism. We must come to understand one another, to love our neighbors as ourselves. In one sense then our human sin is a pandemic to the world, to the Kingdom of God. But thankfully we have access to the cure, Jesus Christ.
lyrics
(I) "He satisfies, the deepest longings of our hearts and our lives. I wonder how many more sermons it would take to win you to Christ, how many more warnings will God have to give you. And how many more graves would have to be dug, how many more wars will have to be fought, how many earthquakes, or tornadoes and floods will have to come before you make your decision. The thief on the cross took that one moment and said "Lord, remember me" and in that moment Jesus said "Thou, shalt be with me in Paradise." That quick, you can make your decision and commit"
And through it all
you'll see my face
transfixed on the throne of Grace
I refuse
to look away
don't look away
What will it take
to reset our gaze
to the one who protects
Who set the earth in motion
What will it take
for believers
across this world
to remember
who is in control
This is a pandemic
watch as the earth quakes
Shake us into place
Shake us back into place
Oh how small we are
Yet we believe
we are as giants
We've forgotten
who reigns
when the rains come
We think we are the cure
but we are disease
The cure has already been found
And through it all
you'll see my face
transfixed on the throne of Grace
I refuse
to look away
don't look away
He said...
(II) Fear not
For I am with you
Fear not
So through it all
you'll see my face
transfixed on the throne of Grace
I refuse
to look away
don't look away
