Sloth explores the struggle with spiritual and personal laziness that quietly drains energy and focus. The song portrays sloth as a subtle, creeping force that slows the believer, keeping them trapped in inaction and routine. Days pass without movement, motivation fades, and even simple tasks feel heavy and burdensome.

The lyrics illustrate the internal tension between the pull to wait, delay, and remain still and the call to rise, act, and reclaim purpose. Jesus is presented as the source of strength and energy, providing the song that awakens the spirit and inspires movement. Each verse emphasizes the contrast between passivity and action, showing how faith provides guidance, focus, and determination.

The repeated chorus reinforces the idea that God equips believers with the tools to resist stagnation, to push forward, and to live intentionally. The song celebrates perseverance through discipline, spiritual empowerment, and the courage to confront laziness, ultimately highlighting how reliance on Jesus enables the believer to overcome sloth and embrace life with renewed vigor.

Hey!
Wake up!
One, two, three, four!

Too slow!
Too slow!
Feet stuck!
Floor cold!

Sit down!
Again!
Same chair!
Same head!

Later!
Tomorrow!
Not now!
Not yet!

Soft bed!
Warm night!
Close eyes!
Lose fight!

No gas!
No spark!
Flat days!
No start!

Clock ticks!
I stall!
Wall stare!
That’s all!

Sloth creeps in
Soft and kind
Says “rest now”
Steals my time

Jesus gave me this song
To fight against Sloth
Jesus gave me this song
To fight against Sloth

Get up, get up
Shake it off
Jesus gave me this song
To fight against Sloth

Sloth says “wait”
Sloth says “slow”
Sloth says “later”
I say “no”

Heavy back
Lazy bone
Kills the drive
Drags me home

It don’t scream
It don’t bite
It just wins
Every night

Jesus gave me this song
To fight against Sloth
Jesus gave me this song
To fight against Sloth

Turn it loud
Move my bones
Jesus gave me this song
To fight against Sloth

This tune hits
In my feet
This beat fights
My dead seat

Not my strength
Not my push
God’s own fire
In the groove

When I’m flat
When I’m dry
This sound lifts
This sound tries

Jesus gave me this song
To fight against Sloth
Jesus gave me this song
To fight against Sloth

Jump up, move
Left to right
Jesus gave me this song
And I’m alive tonight

If Sloth comes back
I play it loud
If Sloth comes back
I don’t bow

I don’t wait
I don’t stall
Jesus gave this song
That’s all

Hey!
Yeah!

Jesus gave me this song
To fight against Sloth
