“Have I heard it for so long that He’s just another song?
Has the story lost its thrill that I once knew?
Lord, give me a burden that’s so strong,
That it will last when my tears are gone.
I’m tired of what I’ve been. Lord, make me over again.
I’m so tired of being stirred about the lost who need to hear.
I’m so tired of being stirred that His coming is so near;
I’m so tired of being stirred till I cry bitter tears.
I’m so tired of being stirred but not being changed.”

All too often we sit in our church pews/chairs and get fat on the Word of God. We take in and take in, yet we are not willing to invite others to eat. I really feel like God wants us to get up from His table, stop getting fat on the fruit of the land, and help harvest the field. He wants us to change. He is looking for people ready to change. I don't know about you, but I am tired of being stirred and doing nothing about it. Read Matthew 9:36-38 Pray that you are sent to harvest the field.
p.s. Does anyone know the words to the other verse?
What you have is the second verse. Below is the first verse and the added chorus after the verse.
ReplyDelete1. Often times my heart has been stirred by the things that I have heard, 'bout so many who have never heard God's word, and though tears would fill my eyes all to soon I'd realize though my hearts been stirred my life has not been changed.
Chorus
2. (What you have is correct)
Chorus
But this time Lord change me let the work begin just now,
this time Lord change me please change me some how,
this time Lord change me let my life be rearranged,
I'm so tired of being stirred but not being changed.
I'm so tired of being stirred but not being changed.
I hope this is helpful.

Hello Karen & Judy, I was trying to find the words to "Stirred but not changed" so I searched it through "Google" and your site popped up first. I hope you don't object to a man coming into your site to retrieve these lyrics !! Thank you BOTH for providing the words. It's so sad that songs like these are trashed by today's "worshipers" for the "feel good" songs that are just a bunch of fluff. I still like songs like "Rescue the Perishing", "Throw out the lifeline", etc. Again, Thank you BOTH for providing the words.

I love this song. I used to sing it in church many years ago and had forgotten the lyrics. Thanks to both of you for reminding all of us of a wonderful, powerful song.
ReplyDeleteCan't thank you all enough. Lost my copy of the words, but the song has haunted me lately in the light of new ministries opening up in our church and how hard it sometimes seems to climb out of our spiritual ruts.

Like everyone else, I was searching for the words to this song after hearing a stirring sermon. These words popped into my head and I had to find them. Wish I had the sheet music.

ReplyDeleteI So agree. I've been looking for the words, too. I just read "Kisses from Katie." Wow! Don't want to be stirred but not changed. Thanks!
