The Message - sqd live

God had a plan from the beginning
Before me & you, before 2020
Before viruses, actually before sickness at all
Before Adam & Eve, even before the world was created
Jesus was always the plan

He was never God's "plan B"
He is the Lamb slain before the world was created
Which means that before sin was even a problem
He was already the solution
Before we even had sickness
He was already our healer
He IS THE story

The headline for eternity
The centre of everything
The beginning and the end
It's always been about Jesus

But get this
If Christ was always the plan
Then the Body of Christ was too
I'm talking about me and you
I'm talking about the Church

Not just a building
Not just a good idea
God's idea from the beginning
We are the Bride, the Body
The Family, the Army
We are the JC Squad

Man's ideas didn't start this
And man's ideas will never be able to stop this
Jesus Himself said He would build this
And not even the gates of hell
Would be able to keep this out
This is His church & we are the next generation

We're a part of something so much bigger than ourselves
And every single one of us count
No matter where you are in the world
And what challenges you might be facing
You're not alone in this, you're not isolated
You're significant and you belong
We're in this together - united by our faith in Jesus
This is His story, but He's written
In a role that only you could play

This isn't the time to stay silent
It's not the time to hold back or retreat
It's not the time to let our differences define us
It's time to step up again as His Church

We're passionate, we're powerful
We're united, we're victorious
We're unshakable and we were born for this
We praise together, we pray together
We laugh together, we cry together
We grow together while we stick together
We'll reach the world together
We are the JC Squad
