The JJ Weeks Band, based in Macon GA, have toured extensively and released three independent projects. Each of the guys have been involved in ministry in some capacity since childhood. Whether singing solos, performing in church musicals, or leading worship, music and ministry have always gone hand in hand. That heart for ministry led Weeks to step out in faith and push for a career in music full-time. Shortly thereafter there talents joined together to create the JJ Weeks Band and consisted of David Hart Bass, Robbie Fritz Drums, Cody Preston Guitar, JJ Weeks Vocal.
‘We want people to know that God has their back. That they can trust Him in the midst of the struggles of life because He loves us,’ says Weeks.
The bands music is filled with the pain of real life, but points to a hope that could only be found in a loving God.
Sunrise
JJ Weeks Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's all coming around again
I have no one to call
who will catch me when I fall
I can't do this on my own
Time is quickly passing me by
And somethin' in my heart don't feel right
When did this darkness fall?
will I ever see the light?
I need a lifeline
I need a an answer tonight
I'm waiting on the sunrise
I can't fight this fight
waiting on a sunrise
no, something's just not right
waiting on a sunrise
I can't wait for long
I'm looking for a place I can hide
from all this hurt wrapped up inside
I'm reaching for your hand
I need your strength to help me stand
I can't do this on my own
I need a lifeline
I need a an answer tonight
I'm waiting on the sunrise
I can't fight this fight
waiting on a sunrise
no, something's just not right
waiting on a sunrise
I can't wait
I can't understand what went wrong
why this lie lasted so long
through the dark, it's you I see
I need a lifeline
I need a an answer tonight
(sunrise)
I can't fight this fight
(sunrise)
no, something's just not right
(sunrise)
I can't wait for long
I'm waiting on the sunrise
I can't fight this fight
waiting on a sunrise
no, something's just not right
waiting on a sunrise
I can't wait for long
