1) Worth Dying For are a Christian Rock / Worship band from Modesto, CA, USA.
2) Worth Dying For are a Progressive / Melodic Death Metal band from Quebec City, QC, Canada
1) In today's culture, it may be difficult to find a worship band that pushes the edge musically and lyrically, and yet is still worship at the core. With the platform of Ammunition Conference held annually in Modesto, California, WDF has a mission not only to be a band but a youth movement that shakes the nation with the presence and power of God. What started out as a simple vision to write original worship songs given by the pastor of Ammunition Conference, Jeremy Johnson, turned into a youth movement of worship and originality. “Our desire has simply been to see our city saved and a empower a generation to reach their cities for Christ,” says worship director of Worth Dying For and Ammunition, Christy Johnson, “Our music and creativity is the bi-product of that passion.”
Jesus Christ and music are the two things that consume the thoughts and lives of the band. Combine the two, and you get the heart of the ministry; worship. They are ordinary people that have a desire to show others how to fall in love with God in a deeper, more passionate way. The music that God has used them to write has changed their ministry and city. Worth Dying For draws heavily on a theme that defines the band’s mission: Infiltrate, Destroy, Rebuild. Infiltrate every city with the gospel of Jesus Christ, destroy the works of the enemy, and rebuild today’s culture. This ministry is more creed than career, more mission than music. And the music, aggressive guitars, searing vocals and heart-provoking lyrics, speaks for itself.
2) While some might consider genres to be an obstacle to experimentation, Worth Dying For actually relishes in delving in as many as possible.
The Quebec-based sextet, active on the local scene since their 2002, when most of the band were still in their teens, has become known through word-of-mouth as solid performers who aren't afraid to display their love for all things metal.
The current incarnation of the band has been touring and spreading their own mix of progressive / melodic death metal since 2006. It has since produced two albums, 2008's "Of Glorious Remains" and 2011's "Tears & Ashes".
All We
Worth Dying For Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've tried all that seems right
I'm coming closer to the beginning
Look through the start of our new life
Without out stretched arms I'm broken
And yet before You come change me
This is a sound of desperation
We cry aloud, afraid of some
All we want is the love that was on the cross
All we need is Your blood to comfort us
All we desire is for You to fill this place
We shout it out, we're free
Repentance is our desire
Come fill our hearts with Your holy fire
This is the sound of desperation
The cry of Your creation
We cry aloud, afraid of some
All we want is the love that was on the cross
All we need is Your blood to comfort us
All we desire is for You to fill this place
We shout it out, we're free
All we want is the love that was on the cross
All we need is Your blood to comfort us
All we desire is for You to fill this place
We shout it out, we're free
We shout it out, we're free
We shout it out, we're free
All we want is the love that was on the cross
All we need is Your blood to comfort us
All we desire is for You to fill this place
We shout it out, we're free
We shout it out, we're free
We shout it out, we're free
We shout aloud
With the everlasting song
We join with the angels and cry
Holy is the Lord
We shout aloud
With the everlasting song
We join with the angels and cry
Holy is the Lord
We shout aloud
With the everlasting song
We join with the angels and cry
Holy is the lord
We shout aloud
With the everlasting son
We join with the angels and cry
Holy is the lord
