December 20: Move Lyrics

Take a moment and consider the lyrics to Switchfoot's "Dare You to Move":

Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next?
What happens next?

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
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

Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
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

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

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself
Lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before
Is there a line that stands out in your mind? A verse? An idea?

Are you moving? Are you contemplating a move? Do you want to move but don't know where, or how? Would you rather not be moving?

Here's some scriptures that you might find interesting to go along with the lyrics:
Acts 17:26-28
Proverbs 16:1-3,9 (The rest of 16 is cool too)
Acts 20:22-24
Psalm 27:11-14
