Intro: Get Out x 4 (melody), Get Out x 4 (melody + harmony)
V1 – Since Christ gave His life for you / You are now obligated to give your life to a faithful few / This call isn’t optional nor is it voluntary / The world is our mission field & yes you are a missionary / Ready to pray, Ready to preach, Ready to serve, Ready to die / Ready to tell ‘em about their sin before He cracks open the sky / God’s preparing somebody to hear the Gospel straight from yo’ mouth! / Doesn’t matter if you’re East, West, North or Down South / We are the Agents of Change, some of y’all done forgot / Light in the midst of darkness should brighten up the spot! / But too many Saints are stuck in the church pews / That’s like wearing tube socks when you’re rockin’ your church shoes / If fear is your master, then yep, you’re a slave man / With faith undeveloped like a primitive cave man / Secret Service Saints frontin’ hard like they’re brave man / Have you really given thought to all that Jesus Christ gave man?
Hook: From glory to sacrifice / From life to death, resurrection and the afterlife / He saved us and with the Holy Spirit He changed us / And that’s why we need to Get Out . . . We need to Get Out / We need to Get Out, Get Out x 5
V2 – Get out the closet, Christians why are you hiding? / Granny was a good person but Jesus still won’t let her slide in / And what about your best friend on a quest / Dealing with the daily stress of getting drama off his chest? / And what about your dad who you don’t see often? / Where’s his soul gonna go once his body’s in that coffin? / And what about your little sister out soul searchin’? / Everybody ain’t trying to come into the church and / That’s why it’s crucial, that’s why it’s serious / Cats need to know that God ain’t playin’, and He’s furious! / With uncommitted creatures that are cool with their sin / ‘Cause these’ll be the same people yellin’ “Lord let me in!” / And if they don’t accept what a Holy God requires / Eternally, they’re going down like 4 flat tires / So think for a second & think real slow / How many unsaved people do YOU know?

V3 – Christ didn’t die just so YOU could go heaven / Jesus Christ died for ALL the sisters and the brethren / How are they going to know about it if we don’t tell ‘em? / You can use your cell phone to send a text or email ‘em / When you’re stingy with the faith that you’ve received / That’s like trying to hold your breath and at the same time breathe / Silence ain’t an option, man the LORD is near / The more you tell it, the more you learn to ignore the fear / So all you closet Christians and hidden disciples / It’s time to make it public and become living bibles / You don’t have to be a deep thinking bible scholar / But you need to tell ‘em Jesus is the one to follow / If each one will reach one we can teach one about the Son / Until the message of the Savior’s replayed like a re-run / So please don’t overlook the message of this song / If you’re infected with the Gospel, then you need to pass it on!

Bridge – Get Out x 3 / We need to get out of the closet / Get Out x 2
