Makeshift3 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking about taking the time to stop and pray to the One
That has just been left behind
There's time for jobs and there's time for friends
Oh no! It must have happened again
Sunday has come and gone and so life moves on
So fast in life
But so slow with God is this
What if He were to say "I'll listen another day. Too bad, all my time is gone."
Life just moves on
Put Him first like He does you
And take the time to give love to the One
You should never leave behind
Priorities can ruin you life if number one isn't Jesus Christ
To Him my life does belong
Who died on the cross to save this world from being lost?
And in return what have we done to show our love for Christ the Son
A material world with some lazy faith makes a weak foundation that's sure to break
Because inside we crumble behind facade
Being slow with God is like a fuelless car
Trying to keep on driving trying to go real far
Even though we can't keep going on
The lyrics to Makeshift3's song "Pokety Poke" discuss the importance of making time for God amidst the distractions and busyness of everyday life. The song begins by acknowledging the constant busyness that we all experience, and how easy it is to get caught up in the world around us. The lyrics suggest that taking time to stop and pray to God is crucial even when it seems like there are more pressing matters at hand.
The song goes on to explore the idea that our priorities can greatly affect our lives, and if Jesus is not our number one priority, it can lead to a weak foundation that is sure to break. The lyrics emphasize the importance of putting God first and loving him above all else. The song suggests that a life without a strong connection to God is like a fuelless car, trying to keep going but inevitably leading us nowhere.
Overall, "Pokety Poke" encourages listeners to prioritize their relationship with God above all other things in life. It serves as a reminder that as important as our jobs, friendships, and material possessions may be, they are ultimately fleeting and insignificant in the face of an eternal and loving Creator.
