Every day I hear the news and wonder,
You can see the clouds we're falling under,
But there's a rushing wind and thunder I hear.

On through the rain and darkness, I see light,
I sense the power of God and change in sight,
And if we'll pray together we'll ignite a flame.

We've got to take it to extremes,
Living on the edge, not standing in between,
And walk with Christ for all to see,
Telling broken hearts God can intervene,
We've got to take it to extremes.

In an age when all is so confusing there is one who knows that we're not losing,
His words, they sound so very soothing to me.

But, like a knife, those words can cut so deep,
Convict our heats of wasted time we keep,
So live your life extreme, so all can see his love.

We've got to take it to extremes,
Living on the edge, not standing in between,
And walk with Christ for all to see,
Telling broken hearts God can intervene,
We've got to take it to extremes.

We've got to take it to extremes,
Living on the edge, not standing in between,
And walk with Christ for all to see,
Telling broken hearts God can intervene,
We've got to take it to extremes,
Living on the edge, not standing in between,
And walk with Christ for all to see,
Telling broken hearts God can intervene,
We've got to take it to extremes.
