lyrics

Demas

Verse 1:
I must say that I don't understand
how you could just walk away
You were so "on fire" but the total cost
you weren't willing to pay
I guess the pleasures of this life
meant more to you than winning the prize
And you laid down the righteous crown
And Demas where are you now?

Verse 2:
Beneath the stars of the Corinthian sky,
we shared out hearts and dreams
You were so zealous to preach the Word,
to help others believe
But you let your guard down
and the love for the world slowly blew your flame out
And you laid down the righteous crown
And Demas where are you now?

Bridge:
You can't serve two masters, you'll serve the one you love
You can't keep your mind on earthly things and be seated with Christ above

Verse 3:
But I know that He still loves you,
I know He understands
There's nothing you've done that He can't forgive,
See His outstretched hand
How long will you wait?
Return to Him before it's too late
Because one day every knee will bow
Oh, Demas where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
