Husky - Wake Up Call Lyrics
ChorusWeight of the scriptures far too great so we just take some out, We try misuse it, try dilute it, try and water it downChurch won't we wake up now, Church won't we wake up now! Verse 1There are guys who long for the scriptures, and we act like they're just pagesBut 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 sacredI can only pray for the faith that would cause them to die like they didThey put their life on the line so we could read The Word so divineInfluential 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 bookIt's a way God speaks to us so all Christians should be craving a lookBut instead we make our own god and forget the character that He's revealedIf 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 isWhat 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 caresAnd 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... ChorusVerse 2I'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 singerWe complain that it weighs too much, scared that it might just challenge our livesSo we decide to rip it to pieces, and just follow all the bits that we likeBut this chapter leads to the next one, and that verse leads onto anotherGot to read that passage in context, understand it from cover to coverPlease don't read it in search for knowledge, puffed up, arrogant, just to reciteCos 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 himselfThat's what happens when the Word don't settle, just like dust when it's left on the shelfTrust me peeps I speak to myself, still it's a warning I'm speaking to youWe're just the same both seeking the truth, enough of the speaking I'm seeking to doFew times in my life, I'm reading it all, but I hated reading at schoolBut suttin changed when I got saved, pick up the page, and now I keep feeling it pullStill days when I try to resist, them times when I just ain't feeling it allBut then I remember the Author, consider this is our wake up callChorus
