BASED ON TITUS 1:6-9

AS LEADERS OF GOD'S PEOPLE
WE ARE CALLED TO EXCELLENCE.
FROM BASEMENT TO THE STEEPLE
ALL WE DO MUST MAKE GOOD SENSE.

IT MUST GLORIFY JESUS
THE AUTHOR OF ALL BEAUTY.
AND IT MUST ALSO PLEASE US
FOR THIS TOO IS OUR DUTY.

CHORUS

NOTHING BUT OUR BEST FOR JESUS
THIS OUR MOTTO OUGHT TO BE.
SO THAT WHEN THE LOST WORLD SEES US
THEY WON'T DOUBT OUR LOYALTY.

II
ALL LEADERS MUST BE BLAMELESS
FOR PERFECTION IS OUR AIM.
AVOIDING ALL, BEING SHAMELESS
WILL BRING HONOR TO CHRIST'S NAME.

THESE THINGS SHOULD BE APPARENT
IN ALL WHO WOULD GOD'S FLOCK LEAD.
THEY MUST BE A GOOD PARENT
AND AVOID WORLDLY GREED.

CHORUS

III
LEADERS MUST BE FAITHFUL MATES
AND BE ALWAYS SELF-CONTROLLED.
IN A WORLD OF MUCH HE HATES
HE MUST WITH CHRIST'S LOVE BE BOLD.

IN A WORLD OF SO MUCH STRESS
FILLED WITH VIOLENCE AND WINE.
HE MUST AVOID ALL EXCESS
AND FOR JESUS HE MUST SHINE.

CHORUS

IV
ALL LEADERS OF CHRIST'S BODY
MUST STRIVE FOR IT'S EXCELLENCE.
AVOIDING ALL THAT'S SHODDY
AND ALL THAT COULD CAUSE OFFENSE.

THEY MUST LOVE ALL THAT IS GOOD
AND ALL THAT'S PURE AND HOLY.
DOING WHAT OUR SAVIOUR WOULD
EXALTING GOD'S WORD SOLELY.


CHORUS

NOTHING BUT OUR BEST FOR JESUS
THIS OUR MOTTO OUGHT TO BE.
SO THAT WHEN THE LOST WORLD SEES US
THEY WON'T DOUBT OUR LOYALTY.
