The Cause Lyrics

If everyone here can look up under their seat
We've all been giving the gift but the gift's not from me
If you open the box so everybody can see
It's a fast ticking clock sitting down at your feet

Cause we've all been clinging to the notion
That our lives are moving in slow motion

Is there not a cause to get you up on your feet
And take...cause what is needed will be
I know there's....
For times when I'm too afraid
To open my eyes and see what we need to see
To answer the call and throw myself at his feet
I'm down on my knees to pray
That I'll be the stand He makes
And tell us here is the cause

We live in a time when no ones caring to speak
About the things we believe and the God that we seek
Where is the crutch that we made from the truth that we tweak
To fit the verses we stray with the best of technique

Cause we've all been going through the motions
And this is our moment of devotion

Is there not a cause to get you up on your feet
And take...cause what is needed will be
I know there's....
For times when I'm too afraid
To open my eyes and see what we need to see
To answer the call and throw myself at his feet
I'm down on my knees to pray
That I'll be the stand He makes
To tell us here is the cause

So think of who you are and where you came from
Will you be proud of who you've been when you are asked
Cause these days we've been counting are numbered at best
And what we've been given we're given as test
So what will we make of it all
Oh, what will we make of it all

To open my eyes and see what we need to see
To answer the call and throw myself at His feet
I'm down on my knees to pray
That I'll be the stand He makes
To tell us here is the cause
