RPM (Abundant Life Church) - Why We Live [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[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 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 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 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
