Lyrics
TRUE BELIEVER
By Randy Bishop (ASCAP) & David Wright, Copyright 2005
Traveling through this big ol' world, yeah, it's simple to see
It offers so many different things, yeah, so much diversity
You've gotta learn to compromise, just to get along
But there should not be such diversity in what's right and wrong
Chorus:
Now as a true believer, well you've gotta take a stand
You know you hold the power of truth, yeah, right there in you hands
Now, as a true believer, well you'd better realize
That Heaven's gates are narrow, there's no room for compromise
True believer, yeah (repeat)
Bridge:
As they gathered before him, Jesus slowly raised His hand
C'mon my friends and hear My last command
Go into this darkened world and make them realize
I am the truth, there's no room for compromise
Babies making babies, and that's perfectly okay
Your Bible tells you not to judge, so who are you to say
But when it comes to Jesus, yeah, you've gotta understand
That the word is built on solid rock, not on shifting sands
