The lyrics of Timothy Wright's song "Who's on the Lord's Side" are a call to people to decide which side they stand on when it comes to their faith in God. The song portrays a sense of urgency, letting listeners know that time is running out and they need to make a decision. The lyrics mention that it's getting late in the evening and the sun is going down, signaling the end of the day and perhaps the end of their life. The song encourages listeners to work while it's still day, as night is coming when they won't be able to find their way. The lyrics ask listeners to make up their minds and choose the Lord's side.
The repeated lines of the chorus emphasize the question of which side people are on. The singer wants to know where listeners stand - are they on the Lord's side? He also encourages those on the Lord's side to stand up and be counted. The song reminds people of the goodness of God, that he wakes them up every morning and gives them new beginnings. The song finishes with a call to action, asking listeners to look at their neighbor and ask them which side they are on.
In summary, "Who's on the Lord's Side" is a soulful hymn that seeks to inspire people to choose God's side and work towards their salvation.
