Get Up

(album: We Won't Be Shaken - 2013)

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh

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!"

So it's time to get up
I'm sick of just sitting 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
Because our hands were made for reaching out, yeah
So it's time to get up

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh

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 saying "If you're Mine you will shine!"

So it's time to get up
I'm sick of just sitting 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
Because our hands were made for reaching out, yeah
So it's time to get up

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!

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh

So it's time to get up
I'm sick of just sitting 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
Because our hands were made for reaching out, yeah
So it's time to get up

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
So it's time to get up!
