[Verse One]

Got to get my weight up

Everyday that I wake up

Is another day close to the grave

Now there's a cross that I take up

Everyday that I wake up

It's good just to know that I'm saved

That puts a smile on my face

Just thinking about His grace

I've been saved since five years old

When momma told me to scrape

All the food on the plate

Plus the greatest story that's been told

She taught me John 3:16

By the time I was 16

I was broadcasting my faith

I was telling the good news

I knew that I couldn't lose

Especially if my behavior was straight

'Cause it's one thing to talk, it's another thing to live

Like Christ when you get with your friends

So you can show them how Christ, can transform a life

In addition to forgiving your sins


[Chorus]

Now if you're standing right here

And you're hearing me loud and clear

And when it comes to the message of Christ

You ain't scared

Let me hear you say- Go!

Come on let me hear you say- Go!

And if your in a good mood

And you know that you can't lose

If you talk to a person

And give them the good news

Let me hear you say- Go!

Let me hear you say- Go!


[Verse Two]

Sometimes it's beautiful

Other times I'm fuming

When I go to a funeral- why

Because the preacher that's ruling

The pulpit is fooling them

Pulling the wool over their eyes

So now what's a man to think

When in every single case

The preacher boldly exclaims

Though he never claimed to be saved

And he died from aids

That he's still in a better place

Now I leave confused

And the people leave confused

And the family is comforted, but

It's under the false pretense

That once a weekend

Is all that Jesus wants

So you know that it's our job

To open up their eyes

With the truth that's found in the script

So we can't afford to hide, the treasure that's inside

Let's bless the world with this wonderful gift

Let's give it to them


[Chorus]


[Verse Three]

Can't be ashamed, of going against the grain

Got to pray— lest we fall into sin

You know the sin of not, speaking the truth in the word of God

'Cause you're afraid of losing a friend

Now if you saw your friend

About to get hit by a car

You would run and push them out of the way

Because you love him, you would shove him

To keep the taker from shoveling that brown dirt over his grave

Now if you would go to great lengths

To save a man's life

'Cause you don't want to see them die on the road

Then tell me how much more

Should you tell him about the Lord

Because you care about the state of his soul

Now there is so much more

That I really wanted to say

But I chose to keep it simple and light

So keep teaching— keep preaching

The world they need Jesus

Much more than we need to be liked


[Chorus]
