I remember last year, at the end of the year school field trip to washington D.C. my mom and I went to Royal Farms to get some chicken for dinner. While she was inside the store I sat there in the car, watching rain slide down our car. Then I turned on the radio and I heard this song...
I cannot express the nostalgia I feel right now. I just wonder, that day I'll be in heaven standing before the glory of god. :)
I was taught as a young child to be a "salmon" and go against the flow. This song reaffirmed what my mother was trying to share about the Christian life. Thankful for the music, lyrics, and encouragement to PRESS ON for Jesus.
LOVE THIS SONG!! Cause of God loves us in all circumstances!! And I´m really irritating to all those people who are suddenly proud to be ´Born this way´ because of Lady Gaga´s song. While God already has told them this for all their life, but they´d rather listen to Lady Gaga than our God.. -_- I strongly recommend them the Opposite Way!!
How hard it is to run the opposite way, when everyone else is going the other way. But it will be worth it in the end, my dear brothers and sisters in Christ!
You know...most people think born again Christians are crazy, that is true, but if we made up everything then were do miracles come from? What about NDE? And prophetcise, both in the past and the prophets we have now...
Yesterday night I was looking at the bright sky, as I allways do when I want to talk to God. I was listening to Leeland at my Ipod,.and skipped this song, cause I didn´t know this song. But a voice inside said I had to listen this song, and had to listen carefully to the text...And it was like Jesus said in this song I am forgiven, I can start all over again now,... Because Yesterday morning I took my first step in recovering from my eating disorder. . .
@radioandroid1 what were you looking for? Laughed when i read your remark. Was playing a jars of clay playlist when this came on and i realised straigt away that i have not heard this song before and realised it was not Jars of Clay
and through the cross he conquered the grave so that YOU could run the opposite way...time for us to run opposite to the world..his love deserves this
The phrase that Leeland uses, "locked in a cage", is a metaphor for how Jesus felt at Gethsemene. It does not mean that He literally was in a cage. He felt the same pain and anguish anyone would feel at the prospect of crucifixion, but the amazing thing is that He dd the will of God anyway. Many times we may feel that God has allowed us to be put in a difficult situation, but we need to do as Jesus did and follow His will not our own.
im sure it did seem like he was locked in a cage hanging on the cross with no way of escape to the many on lookers, it then goes on to say through the cross he couquered the grave. I dont think at any piont they are saying He was locked in a cage, just that it would have seemed like it. just my thoughts though....
@ kencful. I think you have missed the point of the song. Its not Christ who is locked in the cage, but us or the listener singer etc. the cage that sin bounds us in. " you'v never felt in place...etc" never felt in place in the cage of sin if you like. i think its about the time you realise you need Christ and turn "the oposite way" from the 1st verse. as for the 2nd chorus, it says it seemed like he was locked in a cage...
I like the song but it is not sound theologically!Nowhere can you support the idea of Christ being "locked in a cage".Christ was the epitome of freedom even in His trials and temptations!
Jesus was God Almighty, confined to a human body....I'd call that "locked in a cage"...voluntarily, granted...but still, He was locked in a cage of His own.
Even though Christ took on human flesh he was not "locked in a cage".He was free and not enslaved by His own decisions as you suggest.You think He was locked in His own cage! By this type of logic He put Himself into bondage.Completely unsupportable by scripture.God Bless
chirst jesus, oh young christ, how amazing you are!!!! your the most powerful force that has ever existed, and your so awesome for loving us!!!!!!!1 LEELAND ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
this is a christian song, you do know that right? not trying to be offensive but the lyrics are meaninful but it is about christ and how he wants us to live a opposite way.
Great video. Life is such a struggle. But in the end, brains are like muscles, you can rent them by the hour but at the end of the day all you have left is your character.
read verse 19 in that Psalm too. It's pretty great.
with God, we can know that good does come from bad. Always remember that He is with you and sometimes it's the darkest before dawn. But God is there. Never lose your faith. Never.
@jjpickupyourcross so true i was reading my bible and how our generation is know as generation X explaning how ouis mess up with tv, the web, and the media and left me thinking that this is so true not enough people focus there life on god but that there so caught up on other peoples lives to see where they mess up so they can judge instead of focusing there life on god
This song is the best!! I saw them at Kingdom Bound and they were amazing! Such a great reminder to run the opposite way, even when it's not the popular thing to do.
Leeland is so cool. I have not bought an album yet but all the songs I have heard from them are cool. I love that they are not ashamed to mention our savior's name in their songs.
i am agnostic and always said that there isnt any good christian rock out there, but i stand corrected. this song is awesome. im defenately going to check out more from this band.
I always said to my sister that she and I were always doing the opposite of what others did. Being Christians is doing the complete opposite of what the world does. Lets do it, lets be different, lets be Christians.
Watching and worshiping from Puerto Rico... God bless u all.
