Текст песни Witness - T. Barlow

If you′re a child of God stand up
If I can get a witness let me see you put your hands up
Theology
Should have us falling on our faces
Welcome to the modern Reformation

Mecca-lecca-Hi
Mecca-hiney-hiney-Ho
It's nothing magical
That His grace and election
Be like IBM compatible
My God be Him that′s radical
To go against the grain
And what you claim
To be the status quo
He called me by His name
And just the same
I'm just an average joe
Who walked in and lived in vain
Without a brain
To let my habits go
So God endured the pain
He came to hang
And let His
Passion flow
To save the ones he chose
From everlasting
And it happened
Okay
Something 'bout eternal decrees
They don′t change
Even the infernal degrees
Of those flames
Can never harm the one who believes
In the name
Of the Lord and Savior my Jesus
Who reigns
Over some peculiar people
We′re strange
No longer in love with evil
We're changed
There′s no limit to His power to save
That's the point that He made
When He conquered the grave

If you′re a child of God stand up
If I can get a witness let me see you put your hands up

Welcome to the modern Reformation

I listen to some brothers
And they're talking like we′re heretics
We mention God's sovereignty
They're acting like they′re scared of it
Instead of killing pride
And maybe taking time to cherish it
They rather spend their time
Make believing it′s irrelevant
Heaven sent
Is the revelation of magnificence
It's perfect sense
That it′s something sinners would rebel against
Embellishment
Is what they're thinking when we tell of it
They hate God
I guess they′re living for the hell of it
Dang
This is the story, the song that I sing
Just like Satan who fell like lightning
We were fallen in our natural life
Bokeem Woodbine
We just can't get right
We never had good minds
And we hated the light
Under which the truth shines
Imagine our plight
That brought us to cross
What an immaculate sight
Given by amazing grace
He is our lamp in the night

If you′re a child of God stand up
If I can get a witness let me see you put your hands up

Christianity is more than just believing in God
Demons and heathens believe
But they're not justified
Without faith in Christ
They'll just get fried
They′ll make it to the gate
But won′t get inside
Even though they speak of love
In it they won't abide
In the word of the Lord that they criticize
For every law that is broken
Every small white lie
The God of all justice will be glorified
But as for the elect instead of justice we get mercy
If correctly recollected
We are blessed cause we are thirsty
For His righteousness
Because His Spirit has been working
On the heart inside our chest
Ephesians 1:1-14
Explains it in the text
We were predestined well before the
Earth was a planet and a home for all the earthlings
I′m saying there is nothing
That He don't control
He′s the God of salvation
And He touched our souls!
