Lyrics
B.A.S.I.C. (Brothers And Sisters In Christ)
(Dwain C. Hathaway)
© 2000 D.C. Hathaway Music
Do you remember the feeling when you were all alone
Out in the desert trying to make it on your own;
At the end of your rope, at the point of breakin?;
You needed some help, there was no mistakin?.
Then someone came along to lift your spirits high
By sharing ?THE WORD? they could never deny.
They told you of Jesus and all that He did.
Now you must do the same but don?t you keep it hid.
?Cause there?s plenty of brothers and sisters too
that need to know what Christ has done for you.
The Bible says we got to plant the seed
Then it?s up to GOD to fill the need.
So come on everybody, what ?cha waitin? for?
Somebody needs to hear the spiritual score.
If you don?t know how to do it God will show you how
But we got to be BASIC. We got to do it now.
CHORUS:
We got to be B.A.S.I.C. (Brothers And Sisters In Christ)
We got to be B.A.S.I.C. (Brothers And Sisters In Christ)
We got to be B.A.S.I.C. (Brothers And Sisters In Christ)
We got to be B.A.S.I.C. (Brothers And Sisters In Christ). That?s right!!
Every soul created is a child of God.
Some know the truth and some think it?s odd.
But we, the believers, we?re on a mission;
You know what it is. It?s the ?GREAT COMMISSION?.
To the non-believers I?ve got to say
I was just like you doing things my way.
Now your life?s a mess and I don?t mean to bore ya?
But let me ask you this, ?HOW?S IT WORKIN? FOR YA????
Brothers and sisters, believers or not;
We got to try to reach them all, give it all that you got.
But you must remember the devil?s hard at work
Trying to beat us all but he?s just a jerk.
We got the power through Jesus Christ
To take back what he stole. It?s a ROYAL heist.
So tell someone about Jesus now
We got to be BASIC. It?s a holy vow.
(CHORUS twice)
