Black Betty

de James "Iron-Head" Baker

Your roots are dry
And leaves in need of watering
You bare no fruit
You've sown your seed on rocky ground

Time to bring your idle faith into motion (motion)
Time to live for truth and bring glory to his name

Come now is the time for you
To not only hear but to move your
Heart's become lukewarm
With one foot in fire you are
Bound to be burned by the flames
Lord have mercy

Turn away
From those who's path has gone astray
Be no more
Temped to sin by so-called friends

Time to bring your idle faith into motion (motion)
Time to live for truth and bring glory to his name

Come now is the time for you
To not only hear but to move your
Heart's become lukewarm
With one foot in fire you are
Bound to be burned by the flames
Lord have mercy

Faith without
Works is dead so get to work
Faith without
Works is dead so get to work

Save I pray oh father ignite the flame
That once burned so bright for you
I fear the consequence they'll make if they don't
Turn away from sin and lift up their cross and walk again
I can only hope they'll see the need for change

Come now is the time for you
To not only hear but to move your
Heart's become lukewarm
With one foot in fire you are
Bound to be burned
Come now is the time for you
To not only hear but to move your
Heart's become lukewarm
With one foot in fire you are
Bound to be burned by the flames
Lord have mercy now

Come now is the time for you
To not only hear but to move your
Heart's become lukewarm
With one foot in fire you are
Bound to be burned by the flames
Lord have mercy now
