This week, you’ll start hearing “No Survivors” by Jeremy Camp.
Story Behind the Song
“No Survivors really is a, uh, kind of a fun story because, you know, the record I thought, was written, I was done, had plenty of songs, but something felt missing. And so I remember thinking through the theme of this record, which was really
about surrender. And the title of the record is called Deeper Waters. And really in order to go deeper with Jesus, you have to surrender all. And I think for me, I think of surrender not just as raising a white flag, but as actually going, okay, okay, I’m going to take an action here and lay down things at the feet of Jesus or throw things out of my life that don’t need to be there. And so this whole theme of going, my ego, my pride, my grip in my life, throw it all into the fire, like this action of saying, I want to get rid of it completely and leave no survivors. And I think for me, it just was one of those songs where it completed the album in such a beautiful way. Because, yes, it’s kind of an upbeat rock song, it’s heavy song, but it’s the cry of my heart saying, God, I want to completely surrender every. Everything to you. And if it means throwing those things in the fire and leaving no survivors, that’s what I’m going to do.” – Jeremy Camp

Lyrics to “No Survivors”
Lyrics
I’m at war with my humanity
Trying to reclaim my sanity
Nothing in my veins but vanity
It’s the same old, same old
You told me it’s Your battle, God, so I need You to fight
‘Cause if I’m gonna live then there’s some things that need to die
My ego, my pride
My grip on my life
Throw it all into the fire
And leave no survivors
Survivors
Somebody give my past my sympathies (woo)
Tell the old me I’m not missing me (woo)
He can call, but I’m not listening (woo)
To the same old, same old
My ego, my pride
My grip on my life
Throw it all into the fire
And leave no survivors
Survivors
You’re pushing back the dark to get me closer to the light
Somebody tell my enemies there’s nowhere left to hide
You told me it’s Your battle, God, so I need You to fight
‘Cause if I’m gonna live, then there’s some things that need to die
My ego, my pride
My grip on my life
Throw it all into the fire
And leave no survivors
Survivors
‘Cause if I’m gonna live then there’s some things that need to die (survivors)
Survivors
Throw it all into the fire
And leave no survivors
