leadership - flame lyrics
verse 1: jesus established the church and how the church should be ran / if we’re gonna succeed then we need to follow his plan / so many gather in buildings but that don’t make a church / so many children have fallen out are crawling and hurt / we need healthy leadership so we can have healthy churches / thank god for elders and deacons who seek to worship / let’s take the deacon whose role is to meet physical needs / he is not responsible to teach or even oversee / deacons manage financial matters while serving the elders / so they can focus on preaching, teaching, studying and praying / but they don’t just focus on only just serving the elders / they also help us (acts 6) to see what i’m saying / they also maintain unity in the body for sure / many men like this will make a body mature / so as we focus on honoring the covenant i’m urging you towards congregational church government /
verse 2: they say flame don’t go soft on this / talk about the offices established that the bible says there’s one, two / we’ve got deacons we’ve got elders, we’ve got elders we’ve got deacons / any other school of thought just ain’t true / now what the elders do is oversee, spiritually over the church / laboring in prayer and in the word this is the elder’s work / plus they guard us so no false teaching comes seeping in / plus they guard our souls so n0body goes sink in sin / they’re living the gospel out that others may imitate / privately their counsel route, it’s solidly bible*based / plus they preach the word, teach the word that the church may grow / till he comes back, sky crack, then the church will go / we’re called to submit to them (hebrews 13:17) / god gave them authority, although we are a team / we’ve got authority too (matthew 18:15) / yes the tension exists, yes we submit to the king /
verse 3: you came out the world, now you get placed in the church / given authority, don’t fall back you’ve gotta work / you’re part of the congregation and you’ve got a role to play / you’re part of the priesthood of all believers you vote to say / who the elders are, what people join / doctrinal truth, discipline too, i’ll keep going / you deal with disputes, you’ve got the final say / on all these issues see this was issued on*on that day / that you were converted, regenerated for sure / you exercise this authority to keep the body pure / you are accountabiity for the elders in fact / but in humility we keep the elders intact / and when i say elders mean bishops, pastors, overseers / those terms are synonymous honestly i know this is / kinda shocking but this doctrine they seem to forget / that’s the teaching of biblical church leadership /
