Get It Right
Striving for Perfection: Embracing the Call
Lyrics
So many times I've walked this way
Reflecting on the numerous occasions I've taken this path
Too many times from you I've strayed
Acknowledging multiple instances of straying from the intended path or ideals
Fallen way behind, too my former state of mind
Having regressed significantly from my previous mindset or condition
I look around what do I see, so many strugglin' just like me
Observing others facing challenges similar to mine
Tryin' to live this life, falling down to compromise
Struggling to live life without compromising personal beliefs or values
But then I have a question, is that what we're living for?
Pondering whether this compromise is the purpose of our existence
Aren't we called to perfection, to strive for so much more
Questioning if our true calling involves aiming for excellence and more
I find that we have settled too many times
Realizing that settling for less has happened frequently
Should not be so, I think it's time God's letting us know
Suggesting it's time for divine intervention or guidance
Chorus:
Refrain emphasizing the need to correct our ways, step into enlightenment, and discern our purpose
We need to get it right
-No need to walk this way this way no more
-We need to step in the light,
-And find out what we're livin' for
-The voice of God is drawing near
Implying that God's message is becoming clearer and audible
Only the wisest ones will hear
Indicating that only the most discerning individuals will perceive this divine message
Seeing the world today will you choose to go his way
Asking whether, considering the state of the world, we'll choose to follow the path God lays out
It doesn't end in choosin', because in all we do
Stressing that choosing isn't the end, but in all our actions, we're required to persist in truth
We're called to keep on goin', pressin' on just to remain true
Emphasizing the ongoing commitment needed to stay faithful and true
(chorus)
Reiterating the refrain about the necessity of getting things right
I can see how the other life it must look so nice
Recognizing the allure of an alternate lifestyle
But what lies after it's over far from paradise
Highlighting that despite appearances, the reality beyond that life might not be pleasant
Gotta know there is nothing worth missing the call
Stressing that nothing is worth missing the divine calling or purpose
Let me tell you He is calling and you've got to give your all
Asserting the urgency of responding to God's call with complete dedication
(chorus out)
Repeat of the refrain, emphasizing the need to "get it right"
