08. System

S.K.R.I.P.T.
by Benjiman



 

Your name lifted up I'll fall on my face
Always look forward never behind
Try as I may I'm a new man inside
No more excuses, no more alibis
No more facades, I just won't compromise
It's come to this and now forever more
I need less of me so in you I can endure
I can't help myself, your love it's over me like nothing else
I'm feeling commissioned, now if anybody will listen
I gotta get this outta my system
Hands up hands up joyful in sound
When praise is going up I ain't keeping it down
Has anybody ever felt like today is the day
It's brand new and you see the Son's awesome array
The peace of mind you never knew
The strength to get through
I'm a praise your Holy Name
Youʼre the One I can turn to
This life it's full and it's out of control
You took me by the hand and it's real and wonderful
All of me is your my “before's” and “could be's”
What everybody needs when weʼre livin' in peace
Your grace it empties my impurities and sin
When I need another lift youʼre filling' me up again
Clap your hands stomp your feet I got a song in my soul come on sing it with me

Benjiman, Allen Stone

Behind the Song:
"The Bible says if God's name is not praised then even the rocks will shout out to lift him up (Luke 19:40). System builds upon that verse. God built us with a need to praise him, and hopefully more often than not we need to get it out of our "system." Iʼm not saying that it will go away, but instead Iʼm putting it into a human term to lay out how intense the need to praise is. Like "Stones", I wrote "System" with a particular artist in mind to collab on it with me. That artist would be Allen Stone. This guy can SING!! I spent a few weeks on tour with him and got to know him and his heart. A friendship started and in 2007 we did the demo for "System" in Seattle together. As a side note, the Allenʼs vocals from that demo are the ones used in the final version you are hearing now." - Benjiman
