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".
Stir It Up
Worth Dying For Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My hands can’t help but making a sound
My voice screams loud, let them hear us now
Let them hear us now, let them hear us now
I’m singing, singing out to you
With all my heart and I’m going
Going after you with all I’ve got
Living for your cross
So stir it up in me, stir it up in me
My feet just won’t stop leaving the ground
My hands can’t help but making a sound
My voice screams loud, let them hear us now
Let them here us now, can you hear us now
(Rap)
God is the king, understand that.
Every day I praise Him, He deserves that.
He can take away your pain, give you joy when you meet Him til you'll never wanna go back.
He's only everything you wish to be and glorify
and that is why we need to go and tell the world about Him.
Go and spread the gospel of the living God
and save you from destruction, I don't really wanna be another Sodom and Gomorrah, I need Jesus in my life.
He's the reason why I write.
For His name I'm shining bright - Like a Lite-Brite
So I give up all of me to be his chosen
Everything He used to hold me back is dead and frozen
Feet keep jumping off the ground feels broken
Yup, He's my God in the world that He has spoken
I know your love has set me free
So take control and let me be
One of your chosen, one of your chosen
