Lest We Forget from Brandon McCormick on Vimeo.

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
(Gal 5:1)

Freedom comes at a great cost.

A Hero comes from the wilderness to cry out to the captives, pleading for them to awaken. This short film from Whitestone was in part inspired by “Plato’s Cave” and depicts the struggle of freeing the captives, whomever they may be. This film is set to the song by the same name originally written for this film by the talented Wright Brothers: Nicholas Kirk and Billy Wilkerson.

“Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.” – Ephesians 5:14 


Awake! O Sleeper

(Kirk/Wilkerson)

Oh Abraham would raise his hands
And mourn this very day
For his children left the promised land
In search of their own way
They kick and scream like wayward sons
Always wanting to sleep
And dream away these evil days
In hopes that God can’t see

There are chains upon your children Lord
Chains upon your children
There are chains upon your children
We’re in chains

Do you hear the lion roar?
Awake O’ Sleeper
Stand with me well fight the war
Awake O’ Sleeper

Your suffering will come again
And never fall away
For we trade our many comforts
Like the one who bled for grace
There will come a day my God will come
And put me in my place
My God I pray, You’ll call my name
Instead of turn away

Let no man bring me harm
I bear the marks of Jesus
Let no man bring me harm
I bear the marks of the Lord

From the Whitestone Motion Pictures Website…

Although we may be filmmakers by trade, we are storytellers by nature.
Venture into our world and let us weave a tale for you. We will tell
you about life and love and fear and pain. We will show you laughter
and tears, the devil and God. The story is the lifeblood of our world
and nothing matters more.
…So lean close, and let us tell you a story.

I really enjoyed this film and the questions it raised in my own mind about the lengths we go to to gain approval and acceptance from others…even the lengths we go to trying to gain our Heavenly Father’s acceptance…while we miss out on the importance of building relationship.
