LYRICS:
[Intro]
My dear brothers and sisters,
Stand firm, let Nothing move you
Except the beat
[Verse 1 - MIKE O]
You there, without no root, are you a backslider?
You there, without no root, are you a backslider?
Let go of Sunday faith
Let go of Shallow faith
Let go of Divided Faith
Let go of Stagnant Faith
Don't be overconfident
Leave all bad company
Let go of all offense
All your disappointment
[Verse 2]
Usitingike
Let nothing move you at all
Usitishike
Let nothing scare you at all
Sibabaike
Don’t let it shake you at all
Simama, imara
[Chorus]
Give yourself
To the work of the Lord
[Verse 3 - MIKE O]
You there, without no root, don't be a backslider!
You there, without no root, don't be a backslider!
I know you think you're not alone
And you have lots of time
You think you've done your time
You think you know his mind
We don't retire, we just get better,
We don't retire, we just go higher, so…
Surrender to Jesus
Why don't you own your faith
Surrender to Jesus, resist the enemy
[Verse 4]
Have you ever met a friend like Him?
Closer than a brother
God will never leave you
He won’t let you go!
You’ll never get a friend like Him!
Closer than a brother
Give your life to Jesus
He won’t leave you!
[Chorus]
Give yourself
To the work of the Lord
[Outro]
My brothers and sisters
Stand firm in the Lord
Stand firm in the Lord
