Never seen a song so offensive in so many ways. It's offensive to atheism, other religions, and the government. While the government does have it's problems, the issues it faces are not "silly".
This song gave me a lot a inspiration as a Christian.
Mark 16:15 'He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation."'
Here are the lyrics:
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 too.
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 brand new roof on a house.
And yeah, we can't all fly around the globe I know, but we were called to reach the world outside our comfort zones.
I'm willing to pay the price because souls are expensive.
While we're living in a time of political correctness, let's stop apologizing like our message is offensive.
People die and go to hell, I think they really need to get this.
This aint a dress rehearsal now, this isn't pretend.
It's time to stop being dominated by desicions 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 cos he says that I can. This is my generation so I'm taking a stand.
I push aside common sense, this is strait from the heart. God I refuse to leave this earth without making a mark for you.
Chorus 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.
Have we spent too much time here sitting on the fence, while the world drifts away from our Saviour and King.
While our governments are wrapped up in pointless depates, its time to become passionate 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 old people living in fear, while an ASBO generations taken over the streets.
I'm sick of terrorism's voice dominating our peace. I'm sick of evil affecting the minds of innocent kids.
I'm sick of human trafficking and all the grief that it brings. I'm sick of world leaders fighting about the smallest of things.
When politicians go to war it means the innocent die, propaganda fooling people due to sinister lies.
I'm sick of fathers being taken away from their sons. I'm sick of Christian music being banned from Radio One.
I'm sick of other religions 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 truly stand and fight is when we find satisfaction.
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 strait from your heart. Then refuse to leave this earth without making a mark for him.
Chorus 3x 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.

Do you have proof?
God wants us to live for him. And to be peaceful.
