Parody: Reformists

Reformist

(a parody of "Pyramid" by Charice feat. Iyaz)

I.

Shan't we live a life of reformist?

And stand like Luther for a godly end

Let's no more waste another year bestowed

A just, Godward change let's pursue

This song's

Heavy but true love it's from

Scripture is the ground we've known

And cry of it is Church reform

Well, just like Wesley's Holy Club

From pulpit to the Sunday school

Study his Word hard, it's gold

Changing the minutest fault

Now here are the concerns I know:

The sheep lack shepherds

The goats invade us

Wolves and thieves do break away our fold

Chorus:

Reformist, let's build our church on solid Rock

Beliefs and lives be biblical

Together shout and fight

(shout and fight, brethren)

(shout and fight now)

Like a reformist

And let's refrain from all false doctrines

With great fervor, just keep reforming

For God's glory displayed

Let's be reformists

Like a reformist, Like a reformist, hey (3x)

II.

Lord, never ever leave us cold

We don't want the Church destroyed

We're sorry if we've long ignored

Your glorious majesty

And, brethren, see the rod was gone

Look how frail Church life becomes

Sin-tolerating ways are wrong

And watered-down theology

Heretics can shake us

Factions can break us

Politics can take away our light

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:

Let's be reformists, now l'mma mention:

Calvin, Zwingli, Edwards, Whitefield, and John Newton

Even Puritans, Charles Spurgeon

They must the ones to imitate, hey

Fools, don't be lax, God's a consuming fire

Let's admonish one another, with our Bibles and with love

Reformation and revival

Must spark or our children would suffer

Reformist, keep reforming

(Like a reformist, Like a reformist)

Whoa

(Like a reformist, Like a reformist)

(Repeat Chorus 2x)

Like a reformist, Like a reformist, hey (3x)

"It is today as it was in the Reformers' days.  Decision is needed.  Here is the day for the man, where is the man for the day?  We who have had the gospel passed to us by martyr hands dare not trifle with it, nor sit by and hear it denied by traitor, who pretend to love it, but inwardly abhor every line of it...Look you, sirs, there are ages yet to come.  If the Lord does not speedily appear, there will come another generation, and another, and all these generations will be tainted and injured if we are not faithful to God and to His truth today.  We have come to a turning-point in the road.  If we turn to the right, mayhap our children and our children's children will go that way; but if we turn to the left, generations yet unborn will curse our names for having been unfaithful to God and to His Word." (Charles Spurgeon, emphasis added)
