The Basics Of Life Lyrics
We've turned the page, for a new day has dawned We've re-arranged what is right and what's wrong Somehow we've drifted so far from the truth That we can't get back home
Where are the virtues that once gave us light Where are the morals that governed our lives Someday we all will awake and look back Just to find what we've lost
CHORUS We need to get back To the basics of life A heart that is pure And a love that is blind A faith that is fervently Grounded in Christ The hope that endures for all times These are the basics, We need to get back To the basics of life
The newest rage is to reason it out Just meditate and you can overcome every doubt After all man is a God, they say God is no longer alive
But I still believe in the old rugged cross And I still believe there is hope for the lost And I know the rock of all ages will stand Through changes of time
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE We've let the darkness invade us too long We've got to turn the tide Oh and we need the passion that burned long ago To come and open our eyes There's no room for compromise
We need to get back To the basics of life A heart that is pure And a love that is blind
Song Description: '"Basics" has such a timeless message. We seem always to be into the newest way to reach people and the newest way to have church, unfortunately forsaking the Gospel message. Let us be challenged yet again to keep Jesus Christ at the center of all we do. He will always stand the test of time.' - Melissa Greene (Avalon)
