The Vision Songtext
von AMP

Please understand I′ve been to Sunday service every week
Steadily taking my notes and happily going to every retreat
Serving the youth is a blast, but it's almost like a duty
I′m running through the motions
Except nobody can see right through me
I know the rituals, what tools to use to fix you up
Heard marvelous testimonies, but they all seem fictional
I've been told that Christ alone is sufficient
The Bible's so insipid, my soul isn′t convinced to live different
Well, the reason alone we′re prone to live
Condoning what the Lord has shown
Making excuses, refusing to move just a step back
Allowing the Lord to use us, we just
Go to church, do the motions, losing focus
On what truly brought us there in the first place
So we're doing plenty, but we′re feeling empty
Works rather than faith has become the main focus
If that's the case, the cross is empty If Christ is nullified, then he died for nothing
But we signify that our works justify our place
We′re living mediocre doing something
That's the issue, we′re fixed to the things that we're doing
Thinking we're drawing ever closer to Christ
Rendered picture should be an intimate relationship
No one to notice our lies and give up your life
See, that′s the thing
I know I gotta give up my life to the King
But it′s just so hard cause I keep on falling
Every time I step into the ring
Even though I'm busy, I still try to go and read a passage
At least I′m not out drinking or partying like a savage
I'm pretty sure you cannot lose salvation when you believe in Christ
Plus if you profess him as Lord with
Your mouth, then you got eternal life
I think that′s Romans 10, but bro, it's my time to go
It′s been a long day, so I gotta make my way back home


Hey, it was great talking to you man
I'll see you later, I'm gonna go to sleep soon
Alright man, alright, goodnight

Huh, where am I?
Who is that?
I think it is
Lord, Lord, here I am
It′s my time to enter your kingdom, Lord
I′m really excited to sing with the angels and worship you, Lord
Wait, what's happening? Why do I see darkness?
I never knew you, depart from me, you worker of lawlessness
No, all this time I thought my future was secure
But I was such a fool, I was so sure I was kosher
Now I gotta deal with this gnashing of teeth and burning flames
Please, I don′t wanna be like the rich man, give me one more day
Hello, Chung? Man, I'm so glad you called
I just had a horrible dream
My brother, your vision, my brother, is true
To the very words spoken from Jesus our Lord
Matthew 7:21-22, he′s seeking those living his will, that's for sure
We can′t be speaking his name and living according to selfish desires
Revelation 3:16, he's spewing the lukewarm into the fire
It's easy to claim that we′re Christians
Confessing his name as Jesus the Christ
But how is your heart conditioned
Indifferent, won′t even give up your life?
You say you believe, but the context
In Greek defines the word to commit
And here we are giving up nothing, masking ourselves as truly legit
Confessing, professing his name, acknowledging he is Lord above all
Includes dependence on him, for we
Cannot stand, without Jesus we'll fall
It′s more than saying the words, it's
Backing it up and walking the walk
But the Scriptures have been watered so down
We think we are saved by merely our talk
Wow, I thought that going to church was enough for me
But now I see my wrongs, I need deeper intimacy
I need to commit by giving my all to my Savior Christ
I lay my own desires down, Lord, I give you my life
