Its Time for a Change

It’s time for a change, it’s time for a change
Its time to stop relying on programs and games
Its time for pastors and teachers to stop pursuing worldly fame
Its time for deacons and elders to stop pursing worldly gain
Because of these things, God’s people are maimed
Satan’s crept in unnoticed and has us all tamed
Ashamed to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ
But instead preaching things that can’t truly bring life
We have lost the power that can truly bring change,
Into the hearts of the lost, who remain dead empty frames

Its time for a change, its time to rearrange
The way we go about making known His Name
See there’s nothing wrong with running programs and games
But without the strength of God, all our labour`s in vain
He’s the King, the only One who has the power and reigns
Trying to do things apart from Him is pretty insane
Cuz its not by our power, it`s not by our might
But its by the mighty Spirit of God that we will win the fight
If we God`s people who are called by His Name
Would humble ourselves and repent of our shame
God promises to hear and come heal our land
and restore the wasted years we have spent in desert sand

So lets rend out hearts and not our garments
Going way back to the true heart of worship
No longer compromising with the ways of the world
No longer being something that makes Jesus want to hurl
But to turn and pursue God with all of our strength
Because He’s looking for hearts that are His, one hundred percent
Its time for a change, Its time to exchange
All of of our idols, programs and games
To solely rely on the power of Jesus’ Name
