Got a few questions about "Dare You To Move." It's a phrase from a song by Switchfoot. The song is a call to live in get up off the floor, take off your grave clothes, and live. Walk in grace. Move.
It's been an anthem of mine through a life filled with some really bad, life altering decisions. The Bible says, "If the Son has set you free, you are free indeed." If you believe that, then you must live it. Live like today never happened. Forgiveness is right where you fell.
Dare You To Move
by Switchfoot
Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next?
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before
Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be
Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened

And...
the tension is between what God declares us to be and what we experience. Discrepancies between how God sees us (perfect, righteous, holy, because we are united with Christ Jesus in our baptism) and how we see ourselves (sinners who just can't seem to live the things we believe. But His Word is true. We are indeed pure and blameless before Him, no matter what our experiences indicate.
one of my favorite songs of all time.
