WHERE IS THE GOSPEL PREACHED?

Wherever we go, wherever we meet
C’mon! Where is the gospel preached?
From the pulpit to the pew, from the pew to the beat
C’mon! Where is the gospel preached?

From the Charismatic, Pentecostal, Wesleyan
Uniting, Baptist and Anglican
To the Seeker, Emerging or Lutheran
We’re slowly becoming Ladoacean

Why? Where is the gospel preached?
What? What is the gospel preached?
When? When is the gospel preach? 3… 2… 1…

Christ died! Christ died while we were all sinners
Christ rose! Christ rose ‘n hit the clouds of heaven
Christ came! Christ came! Repent of sin you are forgiven!
By faith in message hear it, not swayed by clever speech
C’mon receive His Spirit – that is the gospel preached

I hear the average Joe in the average street, say
C’mon! Where is the gospel preached?
When I try to teach them, it’s me they teach, saying
C’mon! Where is the gospel preached?

From the Charismatic, Pentecostal, Wesleyan
Uniting, Baptist and Anglican
To the Seeker, Emerging or Lutheran
We’re slowly becoming Ladoacean

Why? Where is the gospel preached?

Christ died! Christ died while we were all sinners
Christ rose! Christ rose ‘n hit the clouds of heaven
Christ came! Christ came! Repent of sin you are forgiven!
By faith in message hear it, not swayed by clever speech
C’mon receive His Spirit – that is the gospel preached

Spoken: ‘That’s not the FULL gospel’ some are saying. I hear your spraying. Rapid-fire time!

See the facets of God in full view of
The world in all it’s sin thereof
The cross and blood, full expression of God
Killers of Christ still play the same façade

Your sin is what murdered Him that day
But you think you’re not like what I say
But thin is the rope you walk today
Stuck in your pride and guilt and shame

This is what He came for, this is true
He died to save sinners me and you
Stop looking at yourself and look beyond
Christ saved you from your sin and wrong

He did this for You but more so for God
To demonstrate the glory and riches of
The goodness, the mercy and amazing grace
To show the full expression of the Father’s face

Get down and repent –start your confession
See the cross of Christ and it’s full expression
Of grace and mercy peace, faith and love
Of death and life, hope, judgment and wrath

More is revealed in this manifestation
God’s glory, conquest and humiliation
Most importantly truth and man’s salvation
See the gospel of truth is our proclamation

These facts are recorded, these facts are real
Rely on the truth, not what you feel
The Spirit is here to bring you to an end
A new life for you is about to begin

He’s more faithful then you’ll ever be
For He gave his life for sinners – you and me
Now we don’t live for us but live for Christ
Living in His Spirit of abundant life

Preach the news of what Christ has done
Preach the Christ and us: His outcome
We’re made in Him from different tribes and races
And seated now in heavenly places

It’s all for His glory and not our own
Our time is later – heaven’s home
Go boldly into His heavenly throne
And stand to make the gospel known

Cos Jesus is our Word and our Word is who?
He’s Lord of the Gentiles and King of the Jews
He is who we preach to the chosen few
Jesus is our Good News…

Christ died! Christ died while we were all sinners
Christ rose! Christ rose ‘n hit the clouds of heaven
Christ came! Christ came! Repent of sin you are forgiven!
By faith in message hear it, not swayed by clever speech
C’mon receive His Spirit – that is the gospel preached
