The battle line is drawn it's all in black and white
Hope is going forward and fear from behind
It's time
It's time to make a move, so what will you decide?
The clock is ticking on, don't let it pass you by
It's time
It's time
The time is now for lifting souls
The time is now for letting go
From your skin to your core
Let light and love come rushing through the door
Oh come rushing through the door
You've learned every song, memorized the verse
Took the bread and wine and even bought the shirt
It's time
It's time to hold your shield, it's time to draw your sword
Let's be the resistance
O Lord, O Lord, O Lord
It's time
Yea it's time
The time is now for lifting souls
The time is now for letting go
From your skin to your core
Let light and love come rushing through the door
It's time to make a stand
So put your heart in greater hands
From your skin to your core
Let light and love come rushing through the door
Sisters, brothers,
Thieves and lovers
Come on, come on eternity
Turn your faces
From finite places
Heaven's Grace has set you free
The time is now for lifting souls
The time is now for letting go
From your skin to your core
Let light and love come rushing through the door
It's time to make a stand
So put your heart in greater hands
From your skin to your core
Let light and love come rushing through the door
Your door
Oh come rushing through the door

Phil Wickham's song is a stirring call to action for believers, urging them to move beyond passive faith and actively embrace their calling. The lyrics contrast hope with fear, emphasizing that now is the moment to step forward, let go of hesitation, and allow God's light and love to transform them completely. It references familiar religious practices, like learning songs and memorizing verses, but challenges listeners to go further, taking up spiritual armor and making a stand. The song unites all people—sisters, brothers, thieves, and lovers—under the freedom of heaven's grace, encouraging a wholehearted surrender to God's greater plan.
