Called To Witness

Was called to be that voice
One crying out in the wilderness
Telling the world to repent for Jesus Christ has came to rid them of their filthiness
But rather we have allowed ourselves to be carried away with laziness


Carried away with our own thoughts, our own desires
Only willing to spread the Word if we're the ones being hired
Being hooked on the drug called money
Tending to laugh like it's funny


Call ourselves rockin Jesus, like He's some brand name
We Christian but doing opposite of that calling and this is what brings on shame
Reppin Jesus but bringing fame to our name not knowing that our living for Him has become vain
"Us" we've got the world looking for
Called to be that witness of Jesus Christ like that  late forerunner John the Baptist
Nah
Not looking for folks to snap to this


We sing
We praise
We worship
We
We
Weeeeeeeeee
But what about Him
Is not our first commission is to tell another about Jesus Christ
The One we claim to be living within
Our obedience needs to be in submission instead of being so swallowed up by our own tradition


Love will draw us to this attention
Christ is speaking and all He is asking is that we listen



Pride
It's this that we need to set aside
So that we won't dwell in us but seeking to be pleasing in Jesus
For it's in Him we need to abide
Yeah
So that we would look and love souls through His eyes
