I love how Stavesacre is a Christian band that doesn't have to hit you over the head with it by filling up their albums with nonstop praise songs. Yes, you can be a Christian artist without having to repeat the Lord's name ad infinitum throughout your songs. This is a perfect example. On the surface, one might think "what does this have to do with Christianity?" But this is in the Spirit of God; for one thing, it's saying that you are with (Christian) friends, enjoy this time with them, build relationships with your fellow-Christians, just like the Lord wants us to build a relationship with Him. But deeper than that, I think another meaning to the song is one that echoes Jesus when He said for us to consider the birds, that they don't have a concern for the next day's food, that the Father will provide for them, and aren't we more important than birds? So the Father will provide for us even more so. In other words, Jesus' message was not to worry about tomorrow, how we will eat, how we will dress ourselves, those are earthly matters, just live for today, and think about God and pick up your cross today, and don't worry about earthly things and mistakes and regrets. Just live.
By the way, I love this song, it's tremendous, and it's also one of my son's favorites.
