Fence Riders
Riding the Unwavering Faith: Jimmy Needham's Profound Reflections
Lyrics
Am I foolishness to you
Questioning if the speaker's actions are considered foolish by someone.
And is it laughable the things I do
Asking whether the things the speaker does are seen as laughable.
And can your callous mind see past yourself to His divine
Wondering if the listener's indifferent mind can recognize the divine nature of God.
Am I foolishness to you
Repeating the question of whether the speaker is considered foolish.
Can I sing about my maker and have you not roll your eyes
Questioning if the speaker can express devotion to their creator without judgment.
Can I weep about my savior and the way He died
Asking if expressing sorrow about the speaker's savior and His sacrifice is acceptable.
I know it don't make sense to those who ride the fence
Acknowledging that these expressions may not make sense to those who are indecisive or non-committal.
But I'm sold out to Christ
Asserting the speaker's unwavering commitment to Christ.
You call it loosening up
Comparing the listener's perspective of the speaker "loosening up" to the speaker's view of spiraling down.
I call it spiraling down
Highlighting the negative consequences of what the listener sees as loosening up.
Only one thing's the same
Stating that only one thing remains constant.
Only one thing remains
Reiterating that only one thing stays the same.
Jesus
Mentioning that the constant is Jesus.
Can I sing about my maker and have you not roll your eyes
Repeating the question of whether the speaker can sing about their maker without ridicule.
Can I weep about my savior and the way He died
Repeating the question of whether expressing sorrow about the savior is acceptable.
I know it don't make sense to those who ride the fence
Reiterating that these expressions may not make sense to fence riders.
But I'm sold out to Christ
Reaffirming the speaker's commitment to Christ despite the lack of understanding from fence riders.
You're all asleep
Asserting that the listener is spiritually unaware or indifferent.
You're all asleep
Repeating the statement that the listener is spiritually asleep.
You're all asleep but He's all I need
Affirming that despite others being asleep, Christ is all the speaker needs.
And you don't see it
Observing that others fail to see the spiritual truth.
Can I sing about my maker and have you not roll your eyes
Repeating the question of whether the speaker can express devotion without ridicule.
Can I weep about my savior and the way He died
Repeating the question of whether expressing sorrow about the savior is acceptable.
I know it don't make sense to those who ride the fence

But I'm sold out to Christ
