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 you're Mine you will shine!"

(Chorus)

So it's time to get up

I'm sick of just sittin' around, yeah

It's time to get up

I'm listening to the sound, yeah

It's time to get up

'Cause all the people on the mezzanine floor

We can't forget what we were made for

It's time to get up

Because our hands were made for reaching out, yeah

So it's time to get up

Maybe you've been just like me

Naked, blind, unaware, unseen

Maybe you've been living for peace

For no one but yourself

A lot to do and the workers are few

He's speaking to me and He's speaking to you

He sayin' "If you're Mine you will shine!"

(Chorus)

Hey, hey, you need to know that

We're 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

We're not afraid to show them

The Good News so the world will, no doubt

Shout with the prodigal son!

(Chorus)

So it's time to get up!
