I LOVE this song!

Behold the man without strength The strongest man that ever lived

Jesus was a man without strength in that he was fully human and at the mercy of the Romans to be crucified. (John 1:14) Jesus was the strongest man that ever lived in that he was fully God and in complete control of his life and death. (John 10:18)

Behold the end of all things The end of all things just beginning

When Christ comes again to judge the living and the dead, it will be the end of all things as we know it. He will establish the New HEaven and the New earth and that will be just the beginning of the rest of eternity!

The weak are marching on with one objective Take back the times These days are evil No one can stop them

The 'weak' who are marching are Christians who will be victorious in the battle against evil. Their one objective, to have victory over sin. Though they are weak they fight with the strength supplied by God. Hence no one can stop them.

The dead rise up to praise You Your love goes far beyond the grave

The dead will rise up when Christ comes again. (Acts 24:15) Though we may physically die, if we believe in Christ we will love. God's love does go beyond the grave (John 11:25,26)

It's life or death Now make your choice Whose side are you on?
