So, you're hungry for a taste of the other side
Where the grass is thick and green
But your feet are on familiar ground
Frozen and afraid of what you might lack
Oh, if that's all that's holding you back
CHORUS
Come on, step out of time
Fall out of line
Leave a mark they can't erase
Find your heart and lose your mind
Watch the journey unwind
And let it be a new day
Out of time
How's your story gonna read
When they call your name
And it's all there in black and white?
Will you follow?
Or will you lead?
Will you quietly disappear
Or is this whole world gonna know
That you were here?
It's time to be free
It's time just to live what you believe
What you gonna do with the life you're living?
What you gonna make of the time you're given?
When you are free, you have been forgiven
Now come on and step out of time
Once you go you're gone forever
Don't you know it's now or never
But I can feel a change in weather
Now come on and step out of time

Matthew 4:18-20
"I love the story of Jesus calling out to Peter and Andrew while they were fishing in their boats. He said, "Come, be my disciples, and I will make you fishers of men!" Now, Jesus wasn't just calling them to go to lunch together, or maybe a weekend trip. He was calling them to a totally different way of life-a new path-and for some of them it was a complete u-turn! And when he called them, their reply was simple: "...they left their nets at once and went with Him." Sometimes God calls us away from the comfort we create in our own little worlds. This song is a call to ditch the usual and to step into the unknown. Nobody ever makes history by staying where it's comfortable. I don't remember reading stories in my high school history books about boring people who never took chances. Now is your chance to follow your heart and leave your mark on this world. How's your story gonna read?" - Matthew West
