caught up in the world around us, all the trappings of
Who’ll get voted off the island, when’s American Idol on?
double caramel macchiato, Youtube’s latest scene
Are we just chameleons of our society?
So we sit and play ‘happy’, while our empty world brings
nothing that the hungry really need…
Do we just have a cross hanging on our wall, or fire inside driving us to the call
to change the very fabric of our world?
Are we just sitting here while we bide our time, or is something real burning deep inside
How honest are we being to this world?
Only time will tell…
some of us are caught up in a culture of our own
catchy t-shirts, bumperstickers, the latest Christian song
And we sit here pointing fingers
from our Christianese cocoons
while a dying world is starving for our food
Do we just have a cross hanging on our wall, or fire inside driving us to the call
to change the very fabric of our world?
Are we just sitting here while we bide our time, or is something real burning deep inside
How honest are we being to this world?
Only time will tell…
Jeremiah said ‘it’s like a fire shut up in my bones!’
Can you feel the burning desire to get outside these walls
It’s time to open up this feast to anyone who’ll come
I believe it’s time for us to go running out of the safety zone
Boldly seeking every hungry soul
Grow to love the world too, NOT just the ones who think like you
Change this place through what we say and do
it’s up to me and you…
