Get Up

I used to live my life for me
I was never down on my knees
I went to church just to sit in the seats
I used to love to do nothing
Salvation got a hold of me
I was broken down and hurting
Redemption came as a wave of relief
But then it followed with a burden
Thought that I would be living easy
Til I finally heard the words You were speaking
'If youre Mine you will shine!'
(Chorus)
So its time to get up
Im sick of just sittin around, yeah
Its time to get up
Im listening to the sound, yeah
Its time to get up
Cause all the people on the mezzanine floor
We cant forget what we were made for
Its time to get up
Because our hands were made for reaching out, yeah
So its time to get up
Maybe youve been just like me
Naked, blind, unaware, unseen
Maybe youve been living for peace
For no one but yourself
A lot to do and the workers are few
Hes speaking to me and Hes speaking to you
He sayin 'If youre Mine you will shine!'
(Chorus)
Hey, hey, you need to know that
Were not afraid to show them
The Good News so the world will, no doubt
Shout with the prodigal son!
Hey, hey, you need to know that
Were not afraid to show them
The Good News so the world will, no doubt
Shout with the prodigal son!
(Chorus)
So its time to get up!
