lyrics

(no turning back now, no hesitation)
(for that bright standard, it lies unfurled)
(come now and join this, this celebration)
(we'll take the low road and change the world)

i'll take the back roads, their ragged glory
over the highways, their lights and speed
i'll take the loss of all that i wanted
only to find the one i need

and in the darkness that now surrounds me
and in the silence can't see which way to go
from down the highway i see you beckon
you bid me follow and be made whole

and like nick cave and gordon gano
as in their savior's steps they trod
i'll hide the truth deep in murder ballads
that men might hear the face of god

and like joanna and like st. francis
and all those others, the saints of old
forsaking safety i'll take my chances
we'll lose the world and keep our souls

so come and join me upon this journey
we'll come together and praise the son
until the savior returns in glory
thy will be done thy kingdom come
