Citizens show that Living is proof of God’s faithfulness in their new EP

Christian indie band, Citizens are back with their latest EP Living is proof. This title can speak

for the album as a whole, since each song showcases the ways God has worked in the band’s

life. As witnesses of God’s transformation power and endless love, the lives of believers are

proof of God’s existence and overall power. We have received this amazing gift from the Lord,

and our lives are forever changed because of this. Now, it’s our turn to share our stories and

encounters with the Lord as proof of his wonderful character.

Full of enthusiastic, danceable indie pop grooves, their music can be compared to the secular

musician Dayglow. If this is your type of music, definitely check the project out! It consists of 5

songs, lasting the duration of 18 minutes.

The first track, “So kind and it’s freaking me out.” is all about the radiance of God’s kindness and

the true gratitude gained through that. God forever amplifies the lives of those who believe in

him, and this song praises him for it all.

 

First time, first time for everything

First time I ever felt this confident

No foreign chemicals

Soul-serotonin-happy

Fresh breeze, bare feet energy

Can’t believe I get thе opportunity

To feel this colorful

You’re so much than I could see

 

Or dream, and yet onе glimpse has me out of my seat

Come on, You’re crazy, how do You give that much?

 

“Morning glory, don’t you worry.” is second on the EP lineup, which can be best described as

letting go, and letting God. Optimistic pop beats are intertwined throughout each lyric, reminding

the listener that everything is under control when you trust the almighty Lord.

​

You've gotten caught in the motions

But it's so out of your hands

I know it feels like it's working

But that's an anxious defense

It's okay, alright

Just let go, and realize

There is a power in weakness

You'll never know holding tight

Morning glory, don't you worry

Just begin

It's the dawn of something better

 

“It’s all in your hands.” acknowledges that the Lord’s plan is better than anything man could

imagine. Sometimes this idea is hard to grasp, which makes it so much more important to speak

on. God’s will is so perfectly intentional, and he is working in our lives every second. Praise God

for his unconditional love that he shows us every day!

​

How can it be

Your hands have set me free

It's hard to believe

The same hands that made the world are holding mе

My savior and my friend

It's all in Your hands

I know You'll work it all for my good

Carry the burden like said You would

I know you'll work it all for my good

You're gonna carry me, carry me, carry me on

I know You'll work it all for my good

Carry the burden like said You would

 

“I just feel you like I’m meant to.” discusses the idea that feeling God is more important than

analyzing each and every piece of evidence. While evidence is important, having a personal

relationship with the Lord is equally key for a person’s faith.

​

So call me a fool, but I'm so attached

To something I can't hardly еven grasp

But more than the science and all the facts

I just feel You

Like I'm meant to

You're not something I can just ignore

Everywhere I turn, I see you more

 

“Hold me up.” is about valuing God above any possessions of the world, knowing that only faith

in the Lord Jesus can fulfill. The Lord is our lifeline, and our source of life; Without him we would

not be alive, physically or spiritually.

 

Hold me up, Holy Ghost

Check my heart when I won't let go

If I had the money and a little more home

If I had it all, would it make me whole?

But I'm not sure, save my soul

I don't want the world if it means I don't have You
