| How do you give your life to Jah
|
| And know that it’s eternal
|
| But now you want (to) turn your back
|
| And run to the inferno?
|
| How could you give your life to Christ
|
| And say it is forever
|
| But now you want (to) sell Him out
|
| For 30 pieces of silver?
|
| Don’t drift away
|
| Come back to Him
|
| Don’t drift away
|
| Turn away from sin
|
| Backslider — come back now
|
| Backslider — step back to Jah
|
| Well don’t you know that the Lord
|
| Is full of Godly sorrow?
|
| 'Cause you don’t wanna turn your back
|
| Upon Sodom and Gomorrah
|
| And so you come to the Lord
|
| Ask forgiveness and repent
|
| But now you wanna be allured
|
| By the cunning of the Serpent
|
| Don’t drift away
|
| Come back to Him
|
| Don’t slip away
|
| Turn away from sin--ooyeah!
|
| Backslider — come back now
|
| Backslider — step back to Jah
|
| Backslider — come back now
|
| Backslider — step back to Jah
|
| You sing on Palm Sunday
|
| «Hosanna in the highest!»
|
| But when it comes Friday you shout «Crucify Him!»
|
| You never see/say that you’re slipping away
|
| Come back apostate
|
| Yes come back to your faith
|
| Me see you on Sunday
|
| You’re dressed up in your finest
|
| But every other weekday
|
| You’re always getting high yes
|
| You never think/say that you’re slipping away
|
| Come back apostate
|
| Yes come back to your faith
|
| Come back--repent!
|
| You say you wanna serve your God
|
| Yet you call ‘pon Bathsheba
|
| It seems you have forgot
|
| Like spiritual amnesia
|
| Christ’s in a deep pursuit
|
| Because you have fallen away
|
| Well don’t you know He left the 99
|
| To find the one that’s gone astray--That's you!
|
| Don’t slip away
|
| Turn back to Him
|
| Don’t drift away
|
| No, turn away from sin--eeyeah eeyeah!

|
| When people ask you
|
| «How ya doing?»
|
| You say you’re «Doing great!»
|
| But you’re being fake
|
| It’s a front, you’re a fraud
|
| This is a facade
|
| And it’s not pleasing to God
|
| And there’s one word
|
| That’s just not popular today: Repent
|
| That means to turn the other way
|
| The opposite direction of your sins
|
| You may be fooling others
|
| And you think you’re fooling God
|
| But there’s only one person
|
| That you’re really fooling
|
| Yourself |
