sort of a "bragging Rights" type of message.. I guess one can take it that way. I don't think every song we sing has to be directly to God, although most should be. but some songs are to encourage the believer, confirm our faith, strenghten the weak etc.
IMO, a song like this is okay sometimes perhaps as a celebration of who we are ans what God has given us . i would rather people be proud(in the right way!!) of who we are then embarrassed. for many years Pentecostals were denegraded as the scum of society.

known to get wild let our hair hang down
drink till we get merry rolling on the ground
we've cranked up the music danced all around
shouted hallelujah till God's glory came down
it's just our style the way we do our thing
we're the Pentecostals baptized in Jesus Name

CHORUS
I'm a Pentecostal I am not ashamed
just read the book of Acts we are still the same
we worship only one God Jesus is his name
we are apostolic in every way

VERSE III
some think we're crazy others think we're strange
since I found the holyghost I cannot contain
more exciting then a party higher than a drug
it's the greatest feeling being washed in his blood
if you're tired of tradition, religion's done you wrong
you're feeling dry and empty you no longer have a song
VERSE III
we'll the story is not over things for you can change
you feel the fire burning as the spirit fans the flame
there is millions who have come millions on their way
leavin' theyr dead churches for this pentecostal faith
their crying our for Pentecost and that is why i say

Thanks a million Thad...

I don't recall all the lyrics, but here's partial.


We’ve been known to get wild, swing our hair around

Drink nyquil till we get merry, mouths foamin' while rolling on the ground
We’ve cranked up the music, break-danced all around


Shouting hallelujah , proclaiming our Pentecostal selves.

It is just our style, the way we do our thing
We’re the Pentecostals, and vain is our middle name


Chorus:

I’m a Pentecostal, I am not Ashamed
Just read the book of Acts, we're kinda still the same

We worship only one God, sometimes Pentecostalism is his name
We would like to think we're apostolic, in every way.

II

Some think we’re crazy, others think we're strange
If you’re tired of traditions, religions done you wrong

Come join another religion with a classy anthem song.



I don't remember the rest.....

You can find it on Your Tube...

I personally would not want it sung in front of visitors it might scare them to death!

[mfblume]

Someone here on the forum said this is a praise-me sort of song, I agree! Praise GOD, not us! IMHO. It's sort of "I am better than you".

[freeatlast]

The real song is not better than the parody of the song.

I find the words and spirit of the song embarassing.

I personally think it is an arrogant song.

I think it's the dumbest song ever...

it really makes us look stupid.

If we lived and acted like we should, we wouldnt need an anthem proclaming "what" we are...

besides, I think the lyrics are downright stupid

LOL
