Wasted Life

If I told you that I'd love you 
For one day a week, or 52 days a year 
Would you get excited when 
You knew that one day was coming near 
Then hurt when I left you 
Knowing I could give you more would tear you apart 
And while you cried I just pacified you by saying 
" It's all good, you know my heart" 
How then do you think God feels 
Knowing he gave all just to keep you by his side 
Yet he only gets conjugal visits, with his blood bought bride 
When he watches you make decisions
Without even considering Him 
Then come to see him on Sunday 
Singing spiritual songs and hymns 
And truthfully our time to live this life 
Is quickly winding up 
And how can you pour out worship 
From an empty cup
And some of you are saying
"but we're doing it right"
But on a global scale of the body of Christ 
You're equivalent to the ear 
But don't be discouraged 
Be the ear that hears what the Spirit is saying to the church 
Shine so brightly others crave your presence 
Because they realize your spiritual worth 
Are you pulling out everything 
That Christ invested in you 
Being the the faithful steward making profit 
Or are you sitting on it waiting for the master to return to you 
I encourage you today 
Make him happy to call the church his wife
His blood paid the price 
Now don't waste HIS life
