Flame - Racial Diversity
(from the album Rewind)
© copyright 2006, Cross Movement
Verse 1: Let us remove any muzzle that’s been keepin’ us
quiet/ from speakin’ about Jesus’ died for a colorful bride/
He purchased a people from every nation tongue and tribe/
read the wordsin Revelations chapter 5 verse 9/ and you will
see/ God’s pursuit for racial diversity/ and harmony at an
infinite cost the emergency is/ for His people to that the
urgency is/ for us/ to put much/ emphasis on diversity plus/
and it’s hurtin’ me cause/ that it’s certainly us/ who
ignore the purpose of Him dispersin’ His blood/ at the
center of the crucifixion/ though it’s cruel and it’s
sickening/ we can see that God He has proved His intentions
to us/ to be unified as kings and priests/ but since Jesus
died seems like these things done ceased/ Sunday mornin’ see
us separate/ early we awake/ to worship our God and go our
separate ways/ why?
Hook: Let us be one in you/ the way you want us to/
multicultural as we walk together in love for the world to
see (repeat)
Verse 2: Ask John Newton the same dude who used to trade
them slaves/ was changed and wrote Amazing Grace/ an
ex-racist/ he must of recognized that blacks like whites
like Asians/ cause of Christ even have secure places/ let us
pray this/ because a kingdom divided against itself will not
stand in its places/ let us pray to be free from hostility/
from prejudiceness mistreatin’ to peace and tranquility/
plus no more racist jokes no more suspicions/ no more
disgust or ridicule among Christians/ don’t call it black
church/ don’t call it white church/ cause when we look in
the scriptures we see it’s Christ church
Hook
Verse 3: Let us be concerned that we lovin’ the way we see
Jesus lovin’/ every ethnicity and every color/ cause this is
God’s will/ can we hang out together outside of the church
settin’?/ here on earth can we have a dress rehearsal for
heaven/ that would be excellent just to see us worship
together/ and hangin’ out as we learn about each others’
endeavors/ I know it sounds scary comin’ out your comfort
zone/ but that’s the way its gone be when Jesus come takes
us home/ so let us prepare an intentional plan and a way/
and come together and stop stayin’ away from each other/ my
sister my brother no matter your color I love ya/ let’s be
like Jesus and start prayin’ for each other
Hook
