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".
Never Look Back
Worth Dying For Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Redemption Your plan
You sent Your son
To do what I can’t
Love nailed You down
Forever Your crowned
You have saved us all
Where Your love redeemed the lost
You have given endless hope
And we will, never look back
Never look back, no
We’ll never look back
Empty made whole
The broken restored
Saved by the son
We sing of Your love
Let our praise rise
And brake through the skies
To the holy one
It was love that saved us
Through Your cross you freed us
And by Your grace you have changed us
It was love that saved us
The lyrics of "Never Look Back" by Worth Dying For are centered around the concept of redemption and the saving power of love. The first stanza speaks about God's ultimate plan of redemption through His son, who sacrificed himself on the cross. The lyrics imply that God sent His son to do what human beings couldn't, which is to bring salvation to mankind. The second stanza praises God for His endless hope and promises to follow Him to the cross, where His love redeemed the lost. The chorus, "We will follow You to the cross, where Your love redeemed the lost, and we will never look back," emphasizes the power of faith to overcome any obstacle.
The third stanza talks about the transformation that happens when one accepts God's love and follows Him. The lyrics mention how broken souls are made whole, and the praise of the redeemed reaches the heavens. The bridge summarizes the entire song by reinforcing the idea that it was love that saved us. The lyricist emphasizes the healing power of grace in changing our lives and freeing us from our past.

Nunca miraremos atrás
Nunca miraremos atrás
Esperanza en tus manos
Redención tu plan
Enviaste a tu hijo
Hacer lo que no puedo
El amor te clavó abajo
Para siempre estas coronado
Nos has salvado a todos
Coro:
Te seguiremos hasta la cruz
Donde tu amor redimió a los perdidos
Has dado una esperanza infinita
Y lo haremos, nunca miremos atrás.
Nunca mires hacia atrás, no
Nunca miraremos atrás
Vacío hecho entero
El roto restaurado
Salvado por el hijo
Cantamos de tu amor
Que aumente nuestra alabanza
Y romper los cielos
Al santo
Puente:
Fue el amor lo que nos salvó
A través de tu cruz nos has liberado
Y por tu gracia nos has cambiado
Fue el amor lo que nos salvó
