Congress MusicFactory - The Journey lyrics

[Verse 1] Up the mountains and across the plains The journey we walked is what he ordained We broke every hegemon and broke every chain We pressed through the flesh, despite all the pain We refrained from contaminating the path laid For the body to walk on the road that we paved Strained heavenward and then we saw the earth fade With our eyes fixed on him, this is what he relayed "You are my chosen people you are my sons I've called you from before time begun To liberate my people and make my Body one Rise up, take your place until my work is done" And done it shall be under his canopy Can't you see his Holy word is a reality Our lives, our church, our community Is called to be God's ordained sanctuary [Hook] We're on a journey We'll give our lives to this journey This journey We're on a journey We'll walk with you on this journey This journey We're on a journey [Verse 2] A desire from God for one to stand for all To return his people to a state before the fall A time when man could rise up and answer the call Walk tall, not crawl and climb every wall Conquer every enemy and win every fight In the light, despite whether its day or night And never stop running like there's no brake light By his word, his delight, it was our birthright From then that love was placed in our hearts And a strong desire for us to be set apart From the world. Take his original plan and restart Head start, jump start and Hit the mark like a dart Shot a prayer like an arrow with a ma**ive reaction Then the thunder rolled with God's satisfaction That moment was heavenly activation For future infiltration in the hearts of nations [Hook] We're on a journey We'll give our lives to this journey This journey We're on a journey We'll walk with you on this journey This journey We're on a journey [Verse 3] With a mandate from God to free every nation We began to prepare without hesitation Before we ran off in joy and elation We looked within to secure the foundation Pivot on the core! What did that mean? For every child, every adult, every teen Before we could begin to devise master schemes The core had to be pure and secure like steel beams With the core secure it was time to engage Day one, hour one began the rampage Complete success on the very first page Was too late for the enemy to disengage Every single move he made he was outdone Outrun and all his plans fell one by one One by one we rise like the sun Making one bullet to fire the big gun [Hook] We're on a journey We'll give our lives to this journey This journey We're on a journey We'll walk with you on this journey This journey We're on a journey [Verse 4] We call out the enemy with deadly intent Never before has such a pivotal moment Ever been captured in the past or the present We present our lives as 100% Give him our all as we invade forcefully Not by might not by works but by agency We are his agents war with clarity Because we see the land and all its beauty We bend our backs to the heavenly task We kick down Babylon's door with no mask No longer time to be behind the scene But time to emerge, stand up and be seen They will know our name and they will s ee our face And in no time at all they will know their place As we wage this war with his heavenly grace Nothing but the victory is what we embrace [Hook] We're on a journey We'll give our lives to this journey This journey We're on a journey We'll walk with you on this journey This journey We're on a journey [Outro] Once you come into the Congress and you're ordained by God to be here, you have participated in the long journey. You're ordained by God... and so I want no one around the world feeling "well I did not make a long and strenuous and successful journey" Yes you did! Yes you did! You're in the Congress; you're part of it; you're part of the journey. God ascribes that journey unto you... and we are all sharing that confidence that's born of long and strenuous and successful journey in which we perfected our obedience in God and that perfected obedience is now being turned into ma**ive productivity to bring forth the purposes of God because He has come down. He is here in the earth and we are walking with Him
