Websterand's dictionary say a riot is like an unrestrained
uproar in a public place, turbulent right in your face
with the facts weand're gonna spread godand's word
and attack every lie youand've heard
like the doctrines of men that are still fallen prey
to the silvery sword of godand's word today
itand's true, we look to heaven and our mansions in the sky
and itand's true weand've got the gaze of eternity in our eyes
but before this church is raptured
thereand's no way weand're gonna leave here quiet
we want a righteous invasion of truth
we want a r.i.o.t.
Jesus, weand're callinand' on your name
jesus, weand're gonna see a change
jesus, weand're taking on goliath
with a righteous invasion of truth
weand're want a r.i.o.t.
Righteous - to conform to the bible
invasion an armed attack
of truth - the real state of affairs
like a church on the move that will not double back
from the fight, and'cause weand're salt and light
and we thrive on jesus, the theme of our lives
and hereand's the spin
love nothinand' but god, hate nothinand' but sin
itand's true, now the time to win nations for the lord
and itand's true, now the hour, the saints must go to war
weand'll preach it, weand'll sing it
weand'll shout it, weand'll cry it
and'cause desperate times need desperate action and that means
we need a r.i.o.t.
Satan is a madman, a relentless entity
heand's the source of every plague known to the human family
we understand the mortal conflict in which we are engaged
and the gates of hell come crashing down when the saints of god begin to praise
Jesus, weand're callinand' on your name
jesus, weand're gonna see a change
jesus, weand're taking on goliath
with a righteous invasion of truth
we want a r.i.o.t.
Jesus, weand're callinand' on your name
jesus, we need to see a change
jesus, weand're taking on goliath
with a righteous invasion of truth
we want a r.i.o.t.
With a righteous invasion of truth
we want a r.i.o.t.
