[@awesomeplay8076]

I hear the cry of a dying world So let your light bring the life we've been fighting for These are the eyes of a broken man I see the fire that inspires us to hope again O come Emmanuel and ransom your captive sons There is one who can fight through the fog in the holy sea and let the light leads us right to our destiny O come Emmanuel with power and righteousness 'Cause we were lost, dead in our selfish ways But now the time is come so tonight we sing Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel! Shall come to thee so we will Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel! Shall come to thee, O Israel So come to us, O Key of David Come to us, O Lord of Mine Come to us, desire of a nation Come to us, wisdom from on high See us through the darkness The shadow of the King I hear the cry of a dying world So let your light bring the life we've been fighting for These are the eyes of a broken man I see the fire that inspires us to hope again O come Emmanuel deliver us from the grave Come and save us the ones who believed in our ignorance and from the blood come restore us to innocence O come Emmanuel I can hear creation cry And every eye will see Every mind believe There was a mighty king Ascend to the throne tonight Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel! Shall come to thee so we will Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel! Shall come to thee, O Israel The time is now! Take your victory! Bring redemption! Take your victory! Tonight we sing! Rejoice! (Rejoice!) Rejoice! (Rejoice!)

Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.

[@GaiusM89]

4y late here, but amen!

[@silverwolf9506]

In 2023, now this is my favourite Christmas song. Sorry I am late to the party.

[@sk8erboybryce]

I like Mattie's vocals but Ryan's singing is what made this song really good in my opinion.

[@scottturner8159]

i def miss tis group

[@ManofMightyGod]

WOW Mattie and the boys did amazing!!!!! Praise Jesus!!!!

[@madara2051]

Amen!

[@ChronicBreakdown]

I MISS FOR TODAY! 😢

[@ZepyhrLight]

check out awakening evangelism ( what matties up too ) Ryan made an ep with Nothing Left ( pretty sures hes in the band ) David is drumming for We Came As Romans now. the other dudes idk XD. oh and Ryan mixed, mastered and produced Sleeping giants new album I am

[@arudd909]

so heavy lol. One of my favorite Christmas songs + one of my favorite bands= win. Christ is the Hope of nations!

[@JonathanBridgemohan]

This is my favourite track from the entire album. This band is amazing. They never disappointed with their amazing works.

[@Finalsuspect1468]

I could listen to Christmas music year round now.

[@milespost90]

This song is better than any Christmas song August Burns Red has put out. Face is melted better go dip it in snow

[@justinweisel4451]

This is nowhere near the caliber of ABR. You don't see people begging for a Christmas album from For Today.

[@Trygvah]

Yeah for today killed it. Abr is overrated.

[@TonyLoewen]

This is super awesome. I love for today and also a huge fan of Abr and the Christmas music they do is awesome. They have alittle different ways of doing things so of course it'll be different idk if I can say better or worse they are both amazing. TGBTG!

[@BigEvan96]

Joseph Schneider They might be a little overrated now but their old albums like Thrill seekers were phenomenal. I was bumping that album when they were still unknown.

[@justinweisel4451]

Thrill Seeker imo doesn't even compare to Constellations or Rescue and Restore. They aren't overrated they are underrated if anything. Yes Rescue and Restore did debut at #2 on the top 200 billboards but it took them 4 albums and an EP just to get to that status.

[@noahshaffer5177]

If this album doesnt prove something to people that think all metal is satanic then they are dumb because most of these songs are singing about jesus

[@kimberlywest8652]

ALL*

[@SomeoneYouMayKnow]

Larry Norman said it best: Why should the devil have all the good music?

[@MikrosAngelos]

@@SomeoneYouMayKnow I saw Larry in concert back in 1973 and he did in fact say that.

[@ninimarie8548]

I love this version of it. It is an excellent reminder of who the Lord is, why He came, and why we always need Him!

[@misstellamb1717]

why that evil eye profile picture?

[@madmarsh006]

First time the chorus hit I immediately got goose bumps. This is sick. So freaking good

[@MsOrangeSlushie]

This is amazing!! Almost brought me to tears the first time I heard it. I love that there are alternatives to traditional Christmas music

[@brianbehm6212]

The time is now... TAKE YOUR VICTORY!

[@lukasMey]

2019! *_For our Father!_*

[@TheBros2theend]

God bless heal and save you

[@adambrownbrownadam5851]

This is my favorite kind of song to sing and feel the holy spirit in it's presence of the eyes of Jehovah and be happy. Powerful positive vibrations that uplift my spirit to exert my will of the holy spirit in M3.

[@adambrownbrownadam5851]

It freaks out the negative energies and makes me feel comfortable and safe

[@hotshot2472010]

WOW!!!!! best version ever!!!! i have the chills....i feel like jumping in the most pit right now, LOL

[@Animefandom189]

I keep seeing people giving For Today crap. Personally, If they keep pumping out sound like this I would have no problem blowing my life's savings on these Godly dudes

[@thepathwayofjustice6156]

I'm inspired as well bro. Been jamming them non stop since I heard em. The power of those lyrics are incredible

[@TheBros2theend]

Jesus Christ loves you

[@thomasanthony3000]

Take your victory O' Lord!!!

[@adambrown7468]

I love this song It's heckin' EPIC lol

[@georgemckinnon5186]

Finally learned the song, all I need now is an electric guitar.., amp and some cables.

[@martialpoet1495]

God dam.. This is just one of those openings that make the arm day pump sky rocket!

[@hubbadubchub]

This is like a new song/cover song hybrid. I really like it!

[@Ljanet531]

F-O-R T-O-D-A-Y ♡

[@SomeRandomKida]

Are you related to John Cooper?

[@virgocancer8668]

Best metal version of this song ever

[@stewwweee]

i kneel down and bow to the Holy Lord and savior Jesus Christ

[@hereandthere4751]

its that time of the year again

[@scottturner8159]

I miss this band so bad

[@jermy-6876]

This Song is beyond amazing. The whole album is!

[@Bowenfurr]

Seriously, best song on this album!! Love it \m/

[@sdrchannel576]

This has been a revelation from Jesus Christ.

[@thierrypaquet3104]

Why are you guys all circlejerking around who's better than who? The point of Christmas music is to stray from this kind of pointless behavior and enjoy the music, rejoice together and have a good time in the spirit of Christ. Can't we all just headbang and mosh together?

[@smartalec24]

Agreed. It's one thing to have an opinion, but to trash someone's art just because you think someone else did it better is ridiculous. I love this version of the song. They were able to incorporate their sound into a song that typically doesn't get this kind of treatment (if that makes sense).

[@Ry9uy27]

Best song on the album!

[@joshuahalbstadt8813]

for today should a Christmas album together on their own

[@lornashore9380]

I'm glad that I seen there last show at starland ballroom they are awesome. And this song kicks ass. Probably the only Christian band I like besides impending doom and old the devil wears prada (zombie ep).

[@papoxi2463]

try to beat this. who can? no one, finish.

[@jonathasaraujo8137]

Nossa me apaixonado por essa musica . parabens for today

[@rdbartel1]

Beautiful!

[@V3x0S]

Everything For Today does is fantastic... xD

[@Sancte_Benedicte]

It's that time of the year again!

[@cruxknight0354]

Whoever says Christians can't have metal music clearly haven't read Revelation. A huge throne, with angels having multiple animals as heads, lightning strikes, and a sea of glass is pretty much the most metal thing in existence. Also, nailing a man to a tree to take the debt of the world's sins constitutes as metal. Paul getting bit by a snake and it not phasing him: Metal. Samson merc'ing countless Philestines with a jaw bone: Metal. God manifesting Himself as a moving pillar of fire against the Egyptian army: Metal. And probably the most metal thing is Joshua taking the Israelites around Jericho seven times and...Im sorry, what was that...? What else did they do?? I coulda sworn you said they *SHOUTED* METAL ✅️ Cheers 🍻

[@EvilValenStrife]

This is on my Christmas Metal Spotify playlist!!!!

[@hectorgutierrez778]

i love this song

[@mnstorm9927]

They changed it too much for me. But, I will admit this is my favorite Christmas song, so I may not be as open to change :)

[@BigEvan96]

really only stoked to listen to For Today, ABR, Forevermore and maybe FFAK.

[@calebweber3360]

Same, I was so stoked to see Forevermore on this!

[@jacobborn6845]

Please... COME TO US!

[@tMatt5M]

This makes me wish ABR put vocals on this song.

[@DevinThe242]

They did for Rudolph... and it was wonderful.

[@tMatt5M]

It really was!

[@brianbehm6212]

But Mattie is so brutal!

[@alex_78774]

***** Mattie is a great vocalist but I wouldn't necessarily say brutal. Phil of Whitechapel is brutal.

[@brianbehm6212]

Fair point. But I still love Matty's meaty, throaty scream. He packs a lot of power.

[@spacedcod4299]

Fav song. Omfgggggg

[@musicignited2725]

Christmas in July jam!

[@Gaming4871]

Yo atheists can we just forget about this war and do a rocker headband please? *headbangs*

[@josiahsmiley8477]

They tuned down. Niiiiiice.

[@fallingdove5475]

I love this

[@sherazali4528]

nice

[@fabiomarques1709]

Essa banda era mto boa, top que pena que encerrou as atividades forever For Today

[@retrogamer41_sepiamta]

This is a good cover, IMO. ABR's instrumental cover of this song was great, but For Today did a good job woth their own rendition.

[@thechicoyo]

AHHH I LOVE IT

[@MsTenkei]

I NEED THIS LYRICS! NOW!

[@vinic130]

Lyrics Pleaseeeeee

[@JoelWatson-Exist-Dissolve]

I hear the cry of a dying world, so let your light bring the life we’ve been fighting for Inside the eyes of a broken man, I see the fire that inspires us to hope again O come Emmanuel, and ransom your captive sons There is one who can fight through the fog of the hell we see And let the light lead us right to our destiny O come Emmanuel, with power and righteousness Because we were lost, dead in our selfish ways So now the time has come, so tonight we sing Rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee So we will rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel Come to us, O Key of David Come to us, O Lord of Might Come to us, Desire of the Nations Come to us, Wisdom from on High Free us from the darkness, the shadow of the grave I hear the cry of a dying world, so let your light bring the life we’ve been fighting for Inside the eyes of a broken man, I see the fire that inspires us to hope again O come Emmanuel, deliver us from the grave Come and save us from lies we believed in our ignorance And by the blood, come restore us to innocence O come Emmanuel, I can hear creation cry And every eye will see, every mind believe There was a mighty King, and he sits on the throne tonight Rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee So we will rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel The time is now Take your victory Bring redemption Take your victory Tonight we sing, Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, rejoice!

[@vinic130]

Thanksdude

[@christopherluna9677]

THIS IS SO FREAKIN GOOD!

[@tMatt5M]

THIS IS SO SICK

[@joshinator609]

This is awesome!!!! Merry Christmas guys!! (I know it's not Christmas, but it's close enough XP)

[@JesusSaves4Ever777]

cool

[@davidburnsred6747]

Please add the lyrics for this in the description!

[@randomstufffromachristian2287]

Gold

[@Sancte_Benedicte]

I love it!!

[@gonzo_-ww4iq]

3:34 'bring redemption!'

[@MsNocticula]

wow this is amazing. Oh Love it so much! It's awesome guys

[@kindraaatm22]

This is great!

[@stdknight]

Why would anyone compare cover songs, especially Christmas song covers, to their respective bands' talents? Obviously For Today took a different angle than August Burns Red did. ABR and FT are both amazing bands, so zip your lip and enjoy what Christmas and metal has to bring...maybe listen to the original O Come, O Come Emmanuel and just meditate on that.

[@DeathMetalDaniel]

Wow! How do I get to buy this song digitally? I want this on iTunes ASAP! Wow so insane! Love it!

[@AnthonyWilliams-gq2sw]

May the lord almighty yeshua the one true king come to israel and palestine in their times of need ransom the people who are being held captive by both the zionists and Hammas.

[@TheDeathInMe]

What's up guys! We are The Death In Me. A Metal/Hardcore band based out of Raleigh NC. If you enjoy For Today, you may enjoy us! If you are looking for some new jams to listen to - we have all our songs from our debut EP Dead Bones up on our page! If you wouldn't mind taking a few minutes of your time to check it out, that would mean the world to us. You may find some new music to listen to ;) Let us know what you think! We would love to talk to you guys! Much love - The Death In Me

[@kennedykeltner8885]

THAT WAS EPIC WHO IS THAT

[@jonhoolio]

FT should utilize the sweep more in their stuff. #oldfortoday

[@Whythacar]

Anyone still here

[@pigman769]

Let the arguing begin...

[@fangg97]

usually for today is pretty average but this is amazing

[@abelmank]

Whoa, they switched record companies :0

[@vasilizietsev7684]

They didnt its like pop goes punk not all the bands on this album are on Solid state SS just asked them to record a song (or in case of some of the bands requested to use already recorded songs) for the album

[@bentolar2687]

Since when is For Today on Solid State?

[@XSteveTheButtPirateX]

I don't believe they are, last time I checked they are on razor & tie. But it could be a compilation made by the record label but not by only the bands on the label. Like fearless records punk goes pop. You don't have to be on fearless to get on it

[@julianasilveira8699]

Essa musica me faz ter mais vontade ainda de chutar a boca do diabo!

[@Alex-gu2qu]

No lyrics? :C

[@fallingdove5475]

Does anyone want to destroy the wall that obstructs the eastern gate?

[@daltongreiner3294]

Iron Sharpens Iron did it better IMO

[@ISItheband]

Thanks Bud.

[@chriskurth]

Thank you for the awesome comment!

[@danielallen4650]

yes, they did, but I have to say August Burns Red did the best. IMO

[@ISItheband]

I can respect that haha I just wanted to sing a version that was heavy. Really fun to make! ABR is rad though :)

[@danielallen4650]

Iron Sharpens Iron Band there's one thing people don't understand, there isn't really a bad version of this song and all bands who did this cover has their perspective. so, in reality, everyone did a god job :) I give respect to y'all fellas for making good music .

[@hereandthere4751]

Brace yourselves Ber months are coming

[@LucidBlue666]

ABR is better. By far.

[@deltadave4169]

AWFUL!!
