Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We want our coffee in the lobby
We watch our worship on the screen
We got a rockstar preacher
Who won't wake us from our dreams
We want our blessing in our pockets
We keep our missions overseas
But for the hurting in our city
Would we even cross the street?
[Verse 2]
But we wanna see the hearts set free
And the tyrants kneel
The walls fall down and our land be healed
But church, if we wanna see a change in the world out there
[Verse 3]
It's gotta start right here
It's gotta start right now
Lord, I'm starting right here
Lord, I'm starting right now
[Verse 4]
I'm like the brother of the prodigal
Who turned his nose and puffed his chest
He didn't run off like his brother
But his soul was just as dead
What if the church on Sunday
Was still the church on Monday too?
What if we came down from our towers
And walked a mile in someone's shoes?
[Verse 5]
'Cause we wanna see the hearts set free
And the tyrants kneel
The walls fall down and our land be healed
But church, if we wanna see a change in the world out there
[Verse 6]
It's gotta start right here
It's gotta start right now
Lord, I'm starting right here
Lord, I'm starting right now
[Verse 7]
We're the people who are called by His name
If we'll surrender all our pride and turn from our ways
He will hear from Heaven and forgive our sin
He will heal our land, but it starts right here
We're the people who are called by His name
If we'll surrender all our pride and turn from our ways
He will hear from Heaven and forgive our sin
He will heal our land
[Verse 8]
It's gotta start right here
It's gotta start right now
Lord, I'm starting right here
Lord, I'm starting right now
It's gotta start right here
It's gotta start right now
Lord, I'm starting right here
Lord, I'm starting right now
