While preparing to train the Catalyst Youth Leadership Academy, I was praying for a new human video. During my prayer time in April 2011, God helped me visualize this amazing drama to the song “Hero” by Skillet. It is meant to reach the unsaved and unchurched for Jesus.
This is a powerful evangelistic drama (human video) depicting a suicidal drug-using teen that needs a hero. It also depicts a young pregnant high school student who also needs a hero. Presented by the Catalyst Youth Leadership Academy. This drama was created by and trained by Matthew Triggs of Extreme Mercy International.
“Hero” by Skillet
I’m just a step away
I’m just a breath away
Losin’ my faith today
JEN: Fallin’ off the edge today
I am just a man
Not superhuman
JEN: I’m not superhuman
someone save me from the hate
It’s just another war
Just another family torn
JEN: Falling from my faith today
Just a step from the edge
Just another day in the world we live
[Chorus:]
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero
JEN: Save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero’ll save me
JEN: Just in time
[Verse 2]
I gotta fight today
To live another day
Speakin’ my mind today
JEN: My voice will be heard today
I’ve gotta make a stand
but I am just a man
JEN: I’m not superhuman
My voice will be heard today
It’s just another war
Just another family torn
JEN: My voice will be heard today
It’s just another kill
The countdown begins to destroy ourselves
[Chorus]
I need a hero to save my life
I need a hero
Just in time
Save me just in time
Save me just in time
[Bridge:]
Who’s gonna fight for what’s right
Who’s gonna help us survive
We’re in the fight of our lives
JEN: And we’re not ready to die
Who’s gonna fight for the weak
Who’s gonna make ’em believe
I’ve got a hero
JEN: I’ve got a hero
Livin’ in me
I’m gonna fight for whats right
Today I’m speaking my mind
And if it kills me tonight
JEN: I will be ready to die
A hero’s not afraid to give his life
A hero’s gonna save me just in time
[Chorus]
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero
JEN: Save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero’ll save me
JEN: Just in time
I need a hero
Who’s gonna fight for whats right
Who’s gonna help us survive
I need a hero
Who’s gonna fight for the week
Who’s gonna make ’em believe
I need a hero
I need a hero
A hero’s gonna save me just in time
