Living in Laodicea

Oh Lord, take Your plow to my fallow ground
Let Your blade dig down to the soil of my soul
For I've become dry and dusty
Lord I know there must be
Richer earth lying below

For I've been living
In Laodicea
And the fire that once burned bright,
I've let it grow dim
And the very One I swore that
I would die for
Oh, has been forgotten
As the world's become a friend

We have turned from Your Law
To try to find a better way
Each man does today
What is right in his own eyes
We will pay the price for our sinning
We can never know true living
We've exchanged His truth for lies

For we've been living
In Laodicea
And the fire that once burned bright
We've let it grow dim
And the very One we swore that
We would die for
Oh, has been forgotten
As the world's become a friend

It is no small of a thing that He's done for you
By shutting the gates of hell upon a cross
We were sentenced once
But now we are pardoned
And He chooses to use us though we fall

So while we're living in Laodicea
Keep the fire burning bright
Don't let it grow dim
For the very One we
Swore that we would die for
He must not be forgotten
Fear the world become a friend
For the very One we
Swore that we would die for
Must not be forgotten
Fear the world become a friend
