Josh Garrels - The Resistance Lyrics
I was born into a system constructed for failure
It's a sinking ship manned by drunken sailors
An escape artist behind the bars of a jailer
An asthmatic attack and they withhold the inhaler
If the shoe doesn't fit what good is a tailor
Without a symphony there's no need for a prelude
To foreshadow what's to come.
See the secret committees, commence with their meetings
To make red tape in response to simple questions
Questions threaten the perception of the beneficial systems
A pyramid scheme with it's cogs and it's pistons
Mechanization of men, making more and more
Live in a miserable existence
How can so few, claim so many victims
And this begs the question
Of mans obsession to control things
Look at the long line of make believe kings
The lord of the flies want's you to kiss his ring
Follow new rules with invisible strings
And become a puppet in the diabolical scheme
How do good men become part of the regime
They don't believe in resistance
Hold fast like an anchor in the storm
We will not be moved
Lesson number one, overcome
Every fear of regret and confusion
It's all illusion, delusion
Sent to disconnect the holy fusion
Of spirit and the flesh
Every mortal breath, is meant to bring forth fire
But only when the fear of death, gets consumed
On the funeral pier
So let the flames rise higher
Let every man be considered a liar
If he doubts the goodness and faithfulness of God
Itching ears will compulsively nod in approval
When unbelief is taught in all our temples and schools
But God can restrain the madness of a fool
He can bring His truth through the mouth of a mule
You can move an mountain without any tools
It just takes the faith of a little seed
To make a way through what might seem to be
Impossibility,
And the ability will match the occasion
The outcome will defy explanation
The liberation will not be televised
When it arrives like lightning in the skies
Hold fast like an anchor in the storm
For your love, we will rise and overcome
Through the fire
Hold fast my people and sing
Through peace and through suffering
All for the joy that it brings, to be free
It's gonna cost us everything
To follow one Lord and King
True love endures everything
To be free
Hold fast, like an anchor in the storm
We will not be moved

Josh Garrels The Resistance Comments
Brother, in Christ Jesus, I said I would have died for you, but you have been dying for my Salvation long enough. God works in the most mysterious ways!! I can NEVER thank you enough. ❤️❤️Acts 28-31, Phillipians 1:13 , 4:22✝️
I like the song "Drowning Man" by U2 as well (see 3:08).
Funny how they didn't give any credits for that riff here.
This is my fight song. I will resist sin, Father we are ready. Thank you Lord for being with me!!❤️. Real Love.
This is AweSome🙌 Praise The Lord😂
Love it!!
great and powerfull song, thanks to growing up all people to rebel against satanistic thinking at every atom of all existence!
my wish for you is all the best ... in the light of truth!
ZION ZION ZION ZION. I have a special scar where I was inslaved to clean up folk's sin # hurricane harvery. God bless you Michael I can't wait to go home to ZION, and let the world feel a meek and humble servant
Thank you Jesus for the beautiful changes you have made in us that know you ♥️♥️♥️
I rarely listen and enjoy rap music but as I listen to this song and read the lyrics I was just blown away by the message that it brings. Keep it up brother Josh.
This makes me want to cry. Such a truthful song
these Songs are total Awesomeness
I love this song but in all realness we are torturing animals and God said not to, Christians aren't Prov 31:8-9 and God's calling I'm calling but where is God's people? They think animals were made for torture which is why animal torture consumption has burned the Earth's lungs. Torturing animals is a sin and "ppl of God" agree unless it comes to consumerism. Where is God is what pagans ask.
Crystina Gomez Adam & Eve gave the rights of the earth to Satan. Jesus toon the keys back from Satan for every human. Now, it is up to each individual person to choose to take back the keys from Jesus for their own self. One day the earth will be made new. In the meantime, each person is responsible for their own free will decisions. Unfortunately, many people who claim the label of Christian are not truly or are only babes in their comprehension of scripture/truth. There are also generational curses & demons that hold people in bondage & block them from comprehending or fully hearing/connecting with God. These things must be repented of, renounced, rights must be revoked, yokes must broken, the Holy Spirit must be invited in, & retaliation from Satan must be forbidden - all in Jesus’ name. God has obviously given you a Heart of Mercy for/to steward the animals. God is a god of relationship. He wants us to partner with Him to accomplish His will. Sounds like you’re called to accomplish His will to protect animals. You should lean into that more for sure! 🙂 I assure you that God does love His animals. If you read the book of Jonah, He mentions how He doesn’t want to destroy the animals in Nineveh.
This song is genius. Reminds me of a KJ-52 song but above and beyond that level genius.
Kellis Booth: Everyone forgets the first conditional step: SUBMIT TO GOD.
OH MY LORD SO BLESSED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT 🕊 WE ARE THE RESISTANCE
This is a wonderful song, yet the red fist of socialism is not resistance but rebellion, and rebellion is as witchcraft to God.
"God can restrain the madness of a fool"
Seriously.... this song. SO GOOD.
I have been brought here for a reason
You are ar a inspiration

I had to debate a Christian concerning abortion ㅠㅠ since when did God tell a woman to kill their own child
just heard of him.. loving it.
Oh my goodness. Someone sent me this song because she said it made her think of me. I have the chills. I feel like this should be the theme song of my life. I tell people all the time, we need to speak up. Rise up. Wake up. Before it's too late.
TRUTH! Glory be to our Lord Jesus Christ, KING OF KINGS!
Good song ... the mention of Jesus Name would’ve been nice
This is kinda cringy.
This is about Jesus, being a Christian, a citizen of heaven, not of the world, conforming to His image, and following Him.
never gets old
Love the lyrics and music, so powerful! However, the closed fist symbol is the same one used by the unions which is the same one used by communists years past. Look it up. Just be careful of content associated with Christianity because in no way shape or form under any conditions or circumstances ever, is Christ ok with socialism or communism or any other totalitarian form of government. Just to clarify...
Rape is just not what. I like with your talent
I'm 50 years old And I love this song
I love the raw honesty of this song
Discovering this in 2018. So good
Amazing
Seems like you're co-opting phrases and terms from people of color resisting white supremacy and systemic oppression and using them to make straight white evangelicals think they're the people who are oppressed and need to resist those who are unlike themselves.
Soyboy detected. In all seriousness though you've been tricked by globohomo memes mate. People of color = black people 😂
Fuck Yeah!
Nací en un sistema construido para el fracaso
Es un barco que se hunde tripulado por marineros borrachos
Un artista del escape detrás de los barrotes de una carcelero de
un ataque de asma cuando se nos olvidó el inhalador
Si el zapato no se ajusta a lo bueno es un sastre
En medio de una crisis, por favor cancele la gala
Sin una sinfonía no hay necesidad de un preludio
Para presagiar lo que está por venir
Vea los comités secretos, comience con sus reuniones
Para hacer una burocracia en respuesta a preguntas simples
Preguntas que amenazan la percepción de un sistema beneficioso
Un esquema piramidal Con sus dientes y sus pistones.
Mecanización de los hombres, haciendo que cada vez más
Vivan en una existencia miserable.
¿Cómo puede tan pocos afirman tantas víctimas
Y esto plantea la pregunta
Mi descanso es un arma contra la opresión
de la obsesión del hombre para controlar las cosas
vistazo a la larga lista de hacer creer reyes
y el Señor de las moscas quiere a besar su anillo
Siga nueva gobierna con cuerdas invisibles
Y conviértete en un títere en el diabólico esquema
Cómo los hombres buenos se convierten en parte del régimen
No creen en la resistencia Se
mantienen firmes como un ancla en la tormenta
No nos moveremos
Lección número uno, vencer
Todo temor al arrepentimiento y la confusión
Todo es ilusión, engaño
Enviado para desconectar la santa fusión
De espíritu y carne
Todo aliento mortal, está destinado a producir fuego
Pero solo cuando el miedo a la muerte se agota
En el funeral muelle
así también las llamas se elevan más alto
cada uno esté considerado un mentiroso
Si se duda de la bondad y la fidelidad de Dios
comezón de oír, se compulsivamente asentir en señal de aprobación
Cuando la incredulidad se enseña en todos nuestros templos y escuelas
Pero Dios puede frenar la locura de un tonto
él Puede traer su verdad a través de la boca de una mula
. Puede mover una montaña sin herramientas.
Solo se necesita la fe de una pequeña semilla
para hacer un camino a través de lo que podría parecer imposible
y la capacidad coincidirá con ocasión
El resultado será desafían la explicación
no será televisada La liberación
Cuando llega como un rayo en el cielo
Retén como una ancla en la tormenta
Por tu amor, nos levantaremos y venceremos a
través del fuego
Sostén a mi gente y canta.
A través de la paz y el sufrimiento.
Todo por la alegría que trae, ser libre.
Nos va a costar todo
. Seguir a un Señor y Rey.
El amor verdadero lo soporta todo.
Ser libre.
Manténgase firme, como un ancla en la tormenta
. no será movido
How timely is this song right now though..
I stand for something real or fall for anything.. it's up to us to make a stand. Speak out against the man.. one that does wrong and I'm a do right.. blessed be. Lyph.. love you past heaven
This is such good lyrics, Praise God for him!
I just learned of Josh TODAY. Thank you!
laswan s. Awesome !! Been a fan for three years myself !
Beautiful song
4:36 is the half verse, the complete verse is:
"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." - James 4:7 / AV
An amazing song.
creative music, powerful message, perfect combination
settle on which side you stand. do business with God. resist the systems of the world! repent and believe the gospel. it's your only hope.
we're into the last year's of revenue of our minds if you are a rebel you might understand by the signals that the day of Victory it's near to those who wait in the Lord as he said.
How to be part of that movement.
My son has been in prison three times now. He is only 28. A beautiful boy! Always has a smile. Drugs and lies. I'm sending him the lyrics to this song. I hope he gets out soon, so that he can actually hear this loving meaningful song. I have chills. Thanks Josh!
Keep faith dear. the hardest thing a parent can endure is to see their child suffering whilst being powerless to intervene. I know it from both sides, as a father to my son who was given a very bleak prognosis and spent his first month alive in neonatal intensive care, and as a recovering drug addict that subjected my immediate family to the horrors of addiction. It's a terrible malady that instills doubt, grief and resentment in all who are touched by our lives, particularly our families. I have known families that walked away from other members struggling with addiction, and I thank God that my family remained in my corner. They had to distance themselves to protect their hearts and to avoid perpetually enabling my problem, but they remained available for the day that I would hopefully be ready to live differently. That saved my life. I will keep you and yours in my prayers. Keep the faith in love, for love is the only chance any of us have for salvation. It's easy to hate. It takes true grit to live through love. You clearly do, which makes you both exemplary and inspirational. Stay strong love, and God bless.
When he gets out offer him a place called Strong Tower Ministry rehab. God worked on me in there. And it's free!
The red fist symbol in the air is the same one used for Marxism/ Communism. Bad taste!
He's using that symbol to prove a point.
What Joel said is what I was about to say. Red is also used to show who is talking like in the Holy Bible it has red writing when Christ is talking.
Amazing video.
THE LIBERATION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED WHEN IT ARRIVES LIKE LIGHTNING IN THE SKIES !
I was Never a Rebel. Always the resistance.
I like original music that remains true to the Word and brings it to life. Thank you!
This is my favorite song by a far far far margin
Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.
Looks allot like an antifa flag at the lower right corner at the very end. What is it?
Por favor alguém pode legenda em português esta música ....por favor irmão (as)
It makes me sad this song is so underrated. I'm a Muslim and I love this song because ıt's so powerful and beautifully tells the resistance for The Creator. (for me Allah).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YaL5knA4qI&t=193s
Call the fd for these fire lines!
Whoa...
We resist with Grace. Not a fist.
Just change the red commie fist please. That symbol of a fist is used for every group of rebellion, that happen to be against what we as Christians stand for. Bad symbol.
mr garrels makes people like ed shearan sound like a total novice
I will resist.
This band and song is amazing!
People this is communism. Hell they even have the closed fist, which is the hand symbol of communism
Yeah, just everyone in history has used the swastika for National Socialism, ala Nazism. To hold back, to resist, is a community effort--it isn't communism. The message has nothing to do with communism, but we can put our fingers in our ears, just so long as the shofar can't ring and rattle the drums.

Always remember. Stuff
Listen to Mini Thin too
Wow... one of the most powerful rap songs i've ever heard.. it strengthens my resistance to the next level...thank you for pulling up such a nice song :)
dont forget how good josh is ???
Great Job!!
The abortion fact is incorrect. 46M since Roe v Wade. between 650 and 900K a year.
More than 40 million worldwide in 2018. In 2011 probably more:(.
Yet Trump was elected president:(
Muslims represent 🤘
Check out some 7th day slumber too good Christian rock band
Very well made
Not my kinda music, but this is a great song!
Josh don't let nothing stop you!!!!!! The devel is the second smartest.
I died seen the darkness, JESUS SAVED ME from the darkness. I received salvation after Death. Took me to the LIGHT. TOLD me to spread my story to the four corners of the Earth! I was on life support for three days before they pronounce me Dead. I will never forget the last thing I heard was he has flat line, give him some epinephrine. I could see my body, then suddenly darkness so dark it doesn't
exist on this Earth. GOD IS REAL. SO IF YOU ARE READING THIS, ITS HAS BEEN NO MISTAKE. GOD has never made a MISTAKE IT WAS MEANT TO BE!!!!! JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY!!!! JOSH IS NO MISTAKE, He speaks the truth!!!!! May GOD bless you!
Jeff Browning awesome testimony, and I have been also redeemed 3 days later from a coma, attacks of all sorts but MIGHTY AND THE ONLY POWERFUL GOD & LORD JESUS CAN WIN ANY AND ALL BATTLES!!!
He’s always done it and willl continues
what video editor did you use
on replay
This is good
I love this guy! What an awesome find!
I'm not kidding, when I speak of how this song has encouraged me, a wreck who feared she fell too far from God. I listen, and I hear adrenaline, anger, desperation, all things needed for a fight, all which I possess. Yet the war is not won by these things alone, and it can't be won by a single, sinful soul. We can't resist alone, if we try, we're most likely resisting fellowship and intimacy, what is needed for a relationship. For as Christians, that we desire, a relationship with God, and distance from the devil. Prone to wander, our hearts must not be our guides. To resist is to throw off all which is well known and seemingly inviting, tantalizing, for something deeper still. Keep up the wonderful music.
Salvaged_Wreck Absolutely, however once you give your life to Him, you find yourself wanting to do His will and being drawn to sin less and less. Please do not be discouraged, I have been there before. I turned my back on Him so many times, but it really is never too late. I hope you are walking with him strongly today and have found that immense courage and strength necessary in Him. Much love sister, praying for you.
What the heck is with you guys?! This message isn't only meant for Christians!!!!!
Odd how you missed the symbol of communism in the video...outstretched arm closed fist.
That was rude
Ctb 281
True.
John Todd
Sorry... I need to know... Is those words before his voice starts made by the one that created this video-lyric proyect? In other words, is that related directly with the singer?
If you could give me the answer, i'll appreciate it a lot. Thanks
Héctor Tami they're my words. I have another video of the same song (less views) that have quotes given to me by Josh.
Thank you very much for the answer.
Jesus sings through this, holy fire burn away corrupt desire. Let good men starve the darkness in the light of the one true king
Such a cool groove/vibe with lyrical depth. Josh, is very talented but I particulalry appreciate that he's not just deep without a focus or purpose. There is a goal of all he writes, not just to be artsy fartsy.
Render unto Ceasar, that which is Caesar's; and unto God that which is God's. Resist NOT evil! Non-resistance is the Christian Anarchist way to overcome evil; true resistance.
rap hurts my musical heart...I relay hate it
Glory Be real music.
All I can say is WOW
Can't wait to see him and John Mark McMillan next month!
Following Jesus Christ as your Lord and King will make you a rebel in the eyes of the world. The Holy Spirit in your belly that burns with passion for the gospel will cause you not to care. You will endure it all for the sake of your King. This song fans those flames as was the intention of these Spirit-filled lyrics. Well done. On repeat.
This needs to go viral
John Doe the way the satanic music industry and youtube algorithms are setup they do not allow conscious enlightening videos and songs to get thru to the masses for fear of them waking up and no longer conforming 😧
Harry Houghton Who cares, doesn't mean we can't try
And this comment needs more likes
one of my favorite ... backup singer or voice sounds like sting....:)
