I dedicate this song to Charlie Kirk. I was awakened to this song several days before Charlie was taken from us. I pondered the significance of the lyrics, took some notes… and then… now the timing is clear. The lyrics speak to a race we need to stay in, to a battle we are desperately needed to fight in, to a calling for us to live and love and fight for truth and justice and compassion. “Have we forgotten who’s trip were on?” I am inspired by the life and mission of Charlie Kirk and I hope this inspires you (as it did me) to stay in the fight, to speak the truth in love, and live lives as a guiding light to others. Charlie would agree with John Eldredge:
You awake to find yourself in the midst of a great and terrible war. It is, in fact, our most desperate hour. Your King and dearest Friend calls you forth. Awake, come fully alive, your good heart set free and blazing for him, and for those yet to be rescued. You have a glory that is desperately needed right now. John Eldredge, Waking the Dead, p186
