We’re here to trouble the world for the Lord
To go against the status quo
To challenge the things that have always been accepted
To tend to those the world has neglected
We can no longer be silent as those around us perish
When we can show them His love, His mercy, and compassion
We can no longer sit in our bubble of judgement
Living in our circle of righteous contentment
Not welcoming those who aren’t like us into our environment
Looking down on the world with a sense of detachment
That’s not what He placed us here on the earth to do
That’s not why He changed us, made us new
It’s not a top secret for us to keep to ourselves, hidden
It’s not a secret society that others have to pay to get in
No, He’s already paid the price, paid the price for us all
No one is to be left behind, no one destined to fall
Do you hear me? It’s time for us to take a stand!
Shout about the One who saved every woman and man
There are people hurting, souls that are lost
All because we’re not sharing that He took the cost
Of our sins on His shoulders so we could be set free
That He’s planned good things for us as our destiny
So don’t be afraid to share the Good News
Be more afraid of whom we could lose
If we don’t let them in on this great One we’ve found
No longer passive; we must live our faith out loud
Time for us to break out of the walls of the church building
Time for us to start praying, loving, giving, forgiving
Time for us to truly be the light all over this globe
Time for us to share about our peace, our joy, our hope
Time for us to welcome others in with open arms
Time for us to declare war against what breaks His heart
YOU are the church, so please don’t forget it
And not just on Sunday; every day you’re to live it
Let’s shake things up; let’s be the agents of change
We can’t allow what He’s done for us to be in vain
No longer afraid; we’re here to trouble the world
Everywhere we go, our voices are gonna be heard
Our message will be shared, lives transformed
Nation after nation will learn of His great Word
You can call us crazy, misled, even instigators
Just know that we are proud to be His troublemakers.
