Contemporary Christian rock band Abandon has been on my radar since 2008, so I apologize to all Abandon fans that this is only the first time I’ve featured them. Their songs are really quality material, and ever since I heard ProvidenceUnder Fire, a track off their Control album that is now picking up airplay at Christian AC. Abandon, which takes its name from the Bible verse of Joshua 22:3, which reads “God has directed us not to abandon any brothers,” promises quality, and Under Fire is no exception.
UNDER FIRE Lyrics
Abandon
They try to trip us up, they try to make us doubt
Make us question what this life’s about?
Our minds are criminal, they try to steal the soul
This moments pivotal who we choose to follow
We are under fire but we know, we know
The truth in our hearts
We are under fire but we hold, we hold
The proof of who You are
And though we haven’t seen Your face
We know that we walk by faith
We are under fire but it only burns
Burns all doubt away, all doubt away
They tell us we’re all fools, that our minds are weak
How can we put our hope in someone we can’t see
They come with ridicule to say that You’re a fake
But we are not alone, You endured the same
We are under fire but we know, we know
The truth in our hearts
We are under fire but we hold, we hold
The proof of who You are
And though we haven’t seen Your face
We know that we walk by faith
We are under fire but it only burns
Burns all doubt away
We’re chasing what’s real, we’re chasing what’s true
We know it’s God, we know it’s You
We’re chasing what’s real, we’re chasing what’s true
We know it’s God, it’s got to be You, oh, oh, oh
We are under fire but we know, we know
The truth in our hearts
We are under fire but we hold, we hold
The proof of who You are
And though we haven’t seen Your face
We know that we walk by faith
We are under fire but it only burns
Burns all doubt away, all doubt away
It burns all doubt away, all doubt away
It burns all doubt away
They try to trip us up, they try to make us doubt
Make us question what this life’s about?
Our minds are criminal, they try to steal the soul
