The Need To Get It Right
everyday that God wakes you up to see the morning light
another day, another chance for you to get it right
one day I was out evangelizing and I met a young lady
she was in a drunken stupor, her eyes all cloudy and hazy
I asked her, "why did she do this?, why did she get so drunk?"
she said her life was so troubled with problems and all kinds of junk
I told her she needed a new kind of drug, a new inspirational addiction
I told her to get high on God, so she would no longer be in this prediction
for everyday that God wakes you up He's given you another chance
a new day, a new beginning to change your circumstance
stop all the moaning and groaning, just get up and fight the good fight
remember the adversary is waiting in the wings and you need to get it right
read you basic instructions before leaving earth
live by the covenant God promised since the day of your rebirth
God is on your side for the battle is not just yours
learn to wear the full armor of God and wield the Spirit of the Sword
God will equip you with righteousness and might
with faith and trust in Him, you'll have the means to get it right
as living in the natural realm can be a major task
learn to wait on The Lord and do whatever of you He asks
don't veer away from your destiny, adhere to the path that God did choose
it might be a rougher road less travelled, but what else have you got to lose
remember God will protect you and keep you always in His sights
be diligent in His mission for you with the need to get it right
