Jesus said, “you are either for me or against me and if you are not for me, then you must be against me.” Before becoming a Christian I felt that I was looking over an imaginary fence at loads of weird people. Those people, although they seemed a little weird, had something that I didn’t have. I soon became fed up with the emptiness of life and just looking over that fence. On 5th May 1986I jumped over that fence, I crossed the line, I invited Jesus into my life...
lyrics
[Chorus] There’s no time to wait!
No more hesitate!
Think about it no more time,
Jump up step out and cross the line!
Check it out this life of ups and downs,
Of in and outs and merry-go-rounds.
A life of good, a life of bad,
A life of happy sad and mad!
Some people are crazy, some just lazy!
Work hard, play hard, live hard, die hard.
Filthy dirty, squeaky clean,
All questions and answers, you know what I mean.
[Chorus]
Black or white, short or tall,
Fat or thin, or large or small.
God loves you all.
God loves you all.
Summer, winter, rain or shine,
You gotta get on up and cross the line.
Get up a, get down.
Some things are happening, but some things aint,
Do you know what happens to all wet paint?
Starts off wet, but it ends up dry,
You gotta cross the line if you don’t wanna die.
Now I’ll explain to you the words of this song,
Some things are right, some things are wrong.
One hand is left, the other is right,
Work all day and sleep all night!
[Chorus]
Now the words of this song that I rap to you
is communication through and through.
You may not understand it, but you know what to do,
Get rid of the false and follow the true.
The truth that I am talking about,
Is the kind of truth that leaves no doubt.
No doubt of what is in your mind,
Jump up step out and cross the line.
[Chorus]
