Action
(lyrics Karl Allison/music Alvin Allison)
(These were the very first lyrics written by a member of the group)
I wanna see some action
From the Christian church today
‘Cos if we don’t get some action
The church is gonna fade away.
O wanna see some action
Oh come on - you know what to do,
If we don’t get some action
The world could be blaming you.
You know we live in a desperate world
With bombs and killings and strife,
We don’t care for each other
Like we should do in life.
We’ve all got to make an effort
To help this world on its way,
We can make this life better
By working for God every day.
I wanna see some action
From the Christian church today
‘Cos if we don’t get some action
The church is gonna fade away.
O wanna see some action
Oh come on - you know what to do,
If we don’t get some action
The world could be blaming you.
So go ! Tell the world Jesus loves you
And make sure everyone knows.
It’s easy every Sunday at church
But that’s not the way that He chose.
He wants you working every day
Telling others how great He is,
‘Cos one little word of action from you
Could make another soul His.
I wanna see some action
From the Christian church today
‘Cos if we don’t get some action
The church is gonna fade away.
O wanna see some action
Oh come on - you know what to do,
If we don’t get some action
The world could be blaming...
The world could be blaming...
The world could be blaming YOU !
