Wanito: Music
Living Up
(Click on the song title above to read the lyrics!)
Verse 1
Music is heaven sent.
We need to represent
The Mighty God we serve with every single breath we spend.
From genesis to Revelation
We must teach the nations
About the blood that saves us from the mistakes we’re making.
Some are faking, but deep down you know we’re aching.
Nothing like a good groove to convey the Good News:
The freedom of the life we choose
A covenant with Gentiles and Jews.
What do we have to loose?
Are we fools taking pebbles for jewels
As we respond to the Devil’s cues?
More than don’ts and do’s
This life is about why’s and who’s.
Why do we sing and for whom is this gift we bring?
Music was intended to glorify the King
But nowadays, we use it to exalt ourselves.
Why do our skills, our names, repute and wealth
Mean more to us than God himself?
Chorus
Boy that day will come. Brother you are in control.
Are you living up to the truth you’ve come to know?
Girl that day will come. Sister you are in control.
Are you living up to the truth you’ve come to know?
Verse 2
I remember when we first met.
Jesus Christ you were my safest bet.
All I did was let my guard down
To hear the sound of the Holy Ghost
Summon me to higher ground.
True love was found. Freed I was no longer bound.
I received the gift through which grace abounds.
Now I’m back around in the very place we met:
In a church pew signing “Lest We Forget”.
How could I forget the fire my soul was set on?
The day I met you my inhibitions were gone.
I had passion for the Great Commission.
Preaching the Gospel was my daily mission.
What happened? Did time corrupt my vision?
Have my routines led to corrosion?
If so, please help me bring back the meaning.
I’m not alone, half the church is sleeping.
Yeah, we’re there and we sing and we’re sounding great.
We applaud good sermons and we celebrate
But outside the church walls we procrastinate
Every opportunity we get to display our faith.
Chorus
Verse 3
It’s so miraculous for God to speak to us
While He speaks through us.
In these last days, erroneous is perilous.
So we save lives as we shed lies
And help the wise recognize
The love of God is hell’s demise.
But evil seems to have us all hypnotized
Till we learn to see ourselves through our father’s eyes.
We are conquerors living for the prize.
And if you don’t believe, well let me take you there
Cause I can feel the Holy Ghost in the atmosphere.
He’ll understand your prayers when you moan and groan,
Harmonize the Gospel with these beats and tones.
They say “to each his own”, but to Him every soul is known.
The Holy Ghost won’t rest till He’s in your dome.
You can never say you were left alone.
Pay attention cause a seed’s been sown.
Judgment day will come. Brother you are in control.
Are you living up to the truth you’ve come to know.
Boy that day will come. Brother you are in control.
Are you living up to the truth you’ve come to know?
Girl that day will come. Sister you are in control.
Are you living up to the truth you’ve come to know?
