Nait "Rawknait" Masuku - Why We Live lyrics

[Verse 1: Marcus Lee] Listen close to what I'm saying, it's important you listen Church of God it's time to wake up to the things that we're missing Casually praying that we wanna live like Jesus did Open our eyes and let us see with a heart like His So now we can't react the same when we turn on the news Can't let it just wash over us we gotta learn from it to We were called to clothe the hungry and feed the poor I want blessing but someone always needs it more The same twenty pounds I spend putting food in my mouth In the third world could put a roof on a house And yeah we can't all fly around the globe I know But we were called to reach a world outside our comfort zone I'm willing to pay the price because souls are expensive While we're living in a time of political correctness Let's stop apologising like my message is offensive People die and go to hell, so I think you really need to get this This isn't a dress rehearsal now this isn't pretend It's time to stop being dominated by the decisions of men 'Cos we were called to be the fishers of men And Jesus died, so we'd never be referred to as the victims again I'm determined to make a change because He says that I can This is my generation and so I'm taking a stand I push aside common sense, this is straight from the heart God refuse to leave this Earth without making a mark for You [Hook: Jonathan James] (x2) This is why we live To stand for you And be the change until we see Your Kingdom come Your will be done On Earth as in Heaven [Verse 2: Marcus Lee] Have we spent too much time here sitting on the fence While our World drifts away from our Saviour and King While our governments are wrapped up in pointless debates It's time to become pa**ionate about the things that He hates I'm sick and tired of a generation living in doubt I'm sick and tired of our people content living without I'm sick and tired of our old people living in fear While an ASBO generation's taking over our streets I'm sick of terrorism's voice dominating our peace I'm sick of evil affecting the minds of innocent kids Sick of human trafficking and all the grief that it brings I'm sick of world leaders fighting 'bout the smallest of things When politicians go to war it means the innocent die Propaganda fooling people due to sinister lies Sick of fathers being taken from their sons Sick of Christian music being banned from Radio One Sick and tired of other religions just having a voice When Christ is the only answer, it's not multiple choice In fact I'm sick of talking about it, it's time for some action When we truly stand to fight is when we find satisfaction We were called to reach the world not just sit in a pew Mark 16 verse 15, this is what we do So push aside common sense and make it straight from your heart Then refuse to leave this Earth without making a mark for Him [Hook 2: Jonathan James & Marcus Lee] This is why we live To stand for you (This is why we live) And be the change until we see Your Kingdom come (I said Your Kingdom come) Your will be done On Earth as in Heaven This is why we live (This is why we live life) To stand for you (Just for what we give for, for, for) And be the change until we see (be the change, this is why we live) Your Kingdom come (this is why we live, I said Your Kingdom come) Your will be done (I say Your will be done) On Earth as in Heaven (On Earth as in Heaven, this is why we live) [Outro + Hook] Mark 16 verse 15 says "go and tell the whole world and preach the good news to all creation, for the whole city to know that Jesus Christ is Lord, Amen" This is why we live
