Emptied and Used - Tyler Price

I wrote this song a few days ago. I describe it a little bit in the intro, but my desire is that we will realize that being half-hearted when it comes to Christ is just not enough.

V1
This is a song for all you half-hearted preachers
Missionaries, youth, music, children's small group teachers
You aint fittin the rule book that God gave his people
Instead you bowin to the flesh and givin in to the evil one

More concerned with your paycheck and personal goals
Like buyin a tv, paintin ur house and wearin brand new clothes
We're givin our hearts at least in part to this mist of a life
Tradin Jesus and His love for a first class flight

We're losin sight of the Christ now we're abandonin truth
Sayin truth is relative like it depends on you
That's heresy you see, son, you're misleadin your flock
You betta get outta that pulpit and start standin on the Rock

Of Christ, come make Him first in your life,
His Word is sharper than a knife and sure to cut through ur pain and strife
Yeah, He wants ya just as you are
So pick up that bed and walk and show the world His healin scars

Chorus:

Cuz you (falsetto) can't serve... two masters
Cuz you (falsetto) will always prefer
One over the other and don't you know it's true?
Give all yourself to be emptied and used

V2
Wolf in sheeps clothes but a preacher by title
He's livin like the world but he's prayin for revival
Sayin everybody follow me I'll take ya where you wanna go
But you gotta be lead by the Head or the body won't know

And you can fake it all day long and you can act so strong
But if an intimate God isn't the one thing you long for
You aint, fit to shepherd this flock,
