D-Lo - Church Arise

Lying in bed
I just can't get these thoughts out my head
The vision to see souls saved in U.S. Christians is dead
We've been commissioned
To spread the news of Christ is our mission
But we cannot keep on going on the way that we're living
The worlds on fire
But somehow still the church isn't heated
A revolution to continue world missions is needed
To meet their needs physically
True it profits a little
But if they don't get the gospel were just condemning these people
We're so ungrateful
Blessed beyond belief by our God
But all our blessings turn to Idols then we turn from our God
Americans so wrapped up in chasing prosperity
That the only thing impoverished is the spirit in me

Church arise
Open your eyes
These are dark times
But dont cry
The holy spirit inside
Gonna make you shine
So very bright
You can be a light
Lead the lost to Christ

I'm getting nauseous
Thinking about the way that we live
In comparison to two-third world nations were rich
There's no denying it
We're just spoiling ourselves with our money
Living like we need more than our God has provided
What He's provided has always been enough for our needs
And He still blesses us with our hearts desires and things
But here's the catch
To whom much is given much is required
And therefore we must never turn our backs on the tired
But not just this
It's never been enough to just give
From the material possessions we temporarily have
They need compassion
The loving salvation of God
The gift of His son to buy them what the world cannot

Church arise
Open your eyes
These are dark times
But dont cry
The holy spirit inside
Gonna make you shine
So very bright
You can be a light
Lead the lost to Christ

If we believe
And Christians I mean really believe
What we believe would we be living very differently
If hell was real to you
Would you be sitting there waiting
For all your brothers and sisters to join the demons in hades
If Jesus died for all
Why do you still pick and choose
Who "God would want" in his church groups and who "He could use"
If Jesus Christ is Lord
Why do you still disobey
When He is telling you to give Him things that He wants to change
If you agree with God's world that all lying is sin
How come you're still singing songs that cancel what you believe in
If you agree with God's word that all lying in sin
How come your words at church don't match up with the way that you live
Cuz Christ is coming back
Will we be caught off guard
When He comes back to see the slack that we've been putting on
Or will we be commended
For having paved the way
For His return so He can rule over the world as the King

Church arise
Open your eyes
These are dark times
But dont cry
The holy spirit inside
Gonna make you shine
So very bright
You can be a light
Lead the lost to Christ
