Need I Remind You - John Schlitt

Taking on the burden of a godly walk

You face a challenge every time you talk

Everyday you have to go against the flow

Criticism follows everywhere you go

Can you take it?

is it worth it anymore?

Anymore…

Salvation, frustration

The wolves are knocking at the door

It’s hard to stand for the creed

Persistent, resistance

They’ll start to wear you to the core

They’ll make you doubt your belief

But don’t you ever let it go

Need I remind you

Of the life that he taught

Through the words that he gave you

Need I remind you

Of the pain and the shame

And the bondage he broke through

Need I remind you

Of the love of the one

Who did all that he had to

Need I remind you

That he’s coming back again someday

Standing in the middle doesn’t get you far

It’s hard to tell exactly where you are

With both sides seeing that you have no view

Neither are impressed with what you do

They’re not buying

They don’t like your style at all

Not at all…

No passion, no action

No sense of what you’re gifted for

No thought of what you’ve received

Don’t tell me that it’s not for you

It’s said that sometimes it’s so hard to know

If strong conviction is the way to go

How can we ever think of compromise

When we’re reminded of the one above

And the price of his life?

He lived to be a sacrifice

One day
