lyrics

Chorus

Drug addicts overdosing coast to coast. Sunday service
Homeless starving, let's dress up, play perfect. Sunday service
Youth suicide, mental health on the rise. Sunday service
And y'all can’t figure out why you weren't considered an essential service?

Verse 1

What business of mine is it to judge the world. I judge the church
Look how far you’ve fallen. Turn back and do them works you did at first
Some wanna live within the sound of church or chapel bell
If you can’t tell, I want to run a rescue shop right within a yard of hell
Some people wanna live a life of YOLO. I wanna live a life of SOZO
Look up the Greek while the beat go. No seriously, look it up.
Saved, healed, delivered. That’s the power to save a sinner
They warming up a pew, but who wanna warm up a stew or dinner
Seeker sensitive initiatives are sensitive to demons
We drivin’ ‘em out and preach the gospel in and out of season with every breath that we breathin’ in

Verse 2

If you don’t see the need to meet then you were probly never meeting a need
It’s about time the church left the building for the streets
Some people think I’m extreme, I think I’m bringing it weak
Jesus told you sell everything, give to the poor, then come and follow me
Religious people will think you're a rebel when you destroyin’ the works of the devil
When you weep for the lost and feel lost if you’re not reaching the lost at their level

Verse 3

Lockdowns have been from the Lord, they’ve revealed the root of bad fruit
Systems that ran smooth but did not have the power of Acts 2
You wanna sit around complaining about your constitutional rights
When you’ve already been given the kingdom keys to everlasting life
One man had courage to yell at health authorities on the phone
But then thought it best to love his neighbor by staying home

Verse 4

Point a finger at the government but I got three pointed back at me
In humility I’mma ask why am I not living what the church was meant to be
Let’s get the same goals, let’s get out to save souls
Let’s put up prayers into gold bowls, intimacy with the Lord tenfold
True religion looks after orphans and widows in their deep distress
And true religion keeps oneself from being polluted by godlessness
Outdoor gatherings, outreach and house fellowships
It’s an organic movement of sold out saints who will risk arrest for the oppressed. Let’s repent
