Your rating:
Chorus Weight of the scriptures far too great so we just take some out, We try misuse it, try dilute it, try and water it down Church won't we wake up now, Church won't we wake up now! Verse 1 There are guys who long for the scriptures, and we act like they're just pages But these are the God breathed words that were fought for down through the ages. Some guys even died for the bible, because they knew it was sacred I can only pray for the faith that would cause them to die like they did They put their life on the line so we could read The Word so divine Influential to millions of lives but we're still like 'they mean nothing to mine! ' I ain't talking about the paper cos trust me, I don't praise no book It's a way God speaks to us so all Christians should be craving a look But instead we make our own god and forget the character that He's revealed If we forget the truth of the scriptures, upon what will a Christian build? So we turn to the wisdom of others, the 'romantics', 'feeling lovers' Live for the moment, live for the buzzes, but a feeling is not what God is What happens when that disappears? Does that mean that God's not there? When all else fails and life turns rotten, nah I read of a God that cares And I read of others just like me, but how they suffer's quite frightening, They clung to the promises He made, you can read His promises each page... Chorus Verse 2 I'm one of those that has been caught slippin, so you know I ain't pointing the finger, That's why I put we in the chorus, and I chose to have me as the singer We complain that it weighs too much, scared that it might just challenge our lives So we decide to rip it to pieces, and just follow all the bits that we like But this chapter leads to the next one, and that verse leads onto another Got to read that passage in context, understand it from cover to cover Please don't read it in search for knowledge, puffed up, arrogant, just to recite Cos what use is it knowing the text, if that text don't impact our lives? Don't wanna be the man who looked in the mirror, next minute he forgot himself That's what happens when the Word don't settle, just like dust when it's left on the shelf Trust me peeps I speak to myself, still it's a warning I'm speaking to you We're just the same both seeking the truth, enough of the speaking I'm seeking to do Few times in my life, I'm reading it all, but I hated reading at school But suttin changed when I got saved, pick up the page, and now I keep feeling it pull Still days when I try to resist, them times when I just ain't feeling it all But then I remember the Author, consider this is our wake up call Chorus
