You plant the seeds of ruin when you tune out the Word
The truth isn't yours 'til its done and not just heard
Receive Christ in your mind- Let Him into your heart
Rooted in the emotion, applied in a life set apart!
Why call Him Lord when you feel you can't afford
To lose your life to gain it- How do you explain it?
Why call Him Lord and ignore what He's said
Words are not enough for they fade and are dead
Man made things cannot survive-But God's word is forever alive!
Why call him Lord? Why call him Lord? Why call him Lord?
If any call Him Lord and yet do not obey
The Lord calls Him a liar For His sheep follow His way
For If you bear His name you must also bear His cross
To follow you must die to self and realize the cost!
Why call Him Lord when you feel you can't afford
To lose your life to gain it- How do you explain it?
Why call Him Lord and ignore what He's said
Words are not enough for they fade and are dead
Man made things cannot survive-But God's word is forever alive!
Why call him Lord? Why call him Lord? Why call him Lord?
