Hook 2X
We (are) on duty
Different but look the same like plain clothes cops
On duty
But you can find a treasure in us where the rainbow stops
Verse 1
We thank God for the faith of the elders
That came up in the time of Martin Luther the King and the great Elvis
They ain't shelf us
Told us how to live godly
Can truly testify that before God rested our eyes
We invested our lives
It's gonna look like we (are) dressed in disguise
But the treasure's inside
And it's a pot of gold
Most of our peers think that God is old
Partly because we keep our God on the low
So they can't see how our God is involved in our human affairs
Yeah
We gotta to be mindful of the picture we paint
So every picture they take
They get snapshots of Holy Spirit filled Christians that got victory
Hook
Verse 2
We thank God for the faith of the older
Saints that have showed us the ropes
They ain't despise, refined us looking for ways to remind us
Of the mind of God
It's an army of saints
Young dudes broadcasting their faith
'Cause I'd like to see more of the people of God like the Latter Day Saints
Black tie, trench coat and a tag with their names
Or, the JWs, at the door before the Saturday games
Listen
Probably diss
They show us up with a presence that's public
They ain't impressed with the public
And I ain't trying to give them more credit than what they deserve
But, even if what they believe is wrong
They got a faith that you can reach with your arm
Hook
Bridge
We (are) on duty
To be alert, to be watchful, to be on guard
We (are) on duty
With our spiritual sensitivities up to par
We (are) on duty
Of the barbershop where the talk is not godly at all
We (are) on duty
So we duck every time the wicked try to pitch us the ball
They can't catch us involved
From the pencil in the picture that's drawn
Of His character, if you care about the picture at all
With each photo, we show the world depictions of God
In every context they find us
Being normal, being cordial
Materials of faith and our culture when Christians resolve
That spreading the fame of Christ is our mission of course
