Lyrics
Get in Line
By Lester Dishont Deane
Verse 1
YO!
Some of yall need to get treated like new recruits,
I’m trying to make yall MP’s with guns and boots,
Who seize demons easily as authority’s proof,
Marching after Jesus over enemy troops.
But
We Got a lot of slackers in here, Actors in here,
Sinners swinging hands in the air
Sometimes I wonder, if they trying to capture the air
I know it aint no worshipping that’s happening there
So before you lock and load exploading the holy ghost
Yo, slow your role, show self control!
Where my dogs in here? Whip ‘em in ta shape!
They trying to run back and eat out the enemy plate!
Where my sloths in here? Gotta keep ‘em awake!
Cause Jesus is coming back aint no making mistake.
Where my liars and Fornicators in the place?
Drop! Repent on your face
Bridge
Hut one, Hut two, Get in line!
We walking the straight and narrow yo, fix your mind!
Find yourself a pastor to get behind
Aint no sinners in here you skip the whine!
We already late yo, check the time!
Get in line, Get in line, Get in line.
Chorus
Are you in line, you in line, you in line get in get in!
Are you in line, you in line, you in line get in get in!
Are you in line, you in line, you in line get in get in!
Are you in line, you in line, you in line get in get in!
Verse 2
Yo!
You could only line up in front once you been in the back,
Get your family behind you men, carry your pack!
Stop undermining you man, give him slack!
Again we forgetting how Christians act!
We believers but even Jesus isn’t as proud as we is,
Even though he is responsible for dreaming up the fetus,
Then becoming a fetus simply to come and meet us,
Then to be flogged and beaten just like a common thief is.
Can’t believe you won’t line behind your church’s pastor
But lead a home church to worship the serving master.
Where my rebels, in her yo? Pick a side now!
Cause we bout to run yall if yall don’t get in line now!
Where my lukewarm in here? Get some fire now!
It’s life or death son, you bout to find out!
Where my loveless and un repentant in the place?
Drop! Repent on your face!
Bridge
Chorus
Verse 3
Yo! Yo!
C’mon church get in order, start to act like a team!
In fact start to act like we got the same king!
We got platoon vs platoon squadron vs squadron
Squabbling in the name of the same god that’s sovereign
Friendly fire! The enemy’s filing in ranks with us,
Firing tanks at us, trying to encamp with us,
Trying to lamp with us at dinners, roasting frankfurters,
Sitting with us to win us just so we can sell em our business.
And it works for us cause of our greed and lust.
We need to get in line now jesus sees through us.
Where my hidden sinners in here? Front and center.
Stop trying to hide you need to be a repenter.
Where my back slidden in here? Your sin’s a cancer!
Come back to Jesus cause he’s the answer!
Where my apostates, false preachers in the place?
Drop! Repent on your face!
Bridge
Chorus
You hit the nail on the head with this one. I love it!
