LYRICS

COME OUT AND PRAY
Parody of "Come Out and Play" performed and written by the Offspring (2 Chronicles 7:14)

And students, the thing to remember about church and state ...
(You gotta keep 'em separated!)
Don't try to pray in the classroom
You can't be spreading your faith
They turn our class into an atheist vacuum
While they're separating church from the state
They can't stand God, so they took Him out
Started back in '62 and look at us now
They warn that government and God just don't mix
You're gonna have to stop, have to stop, have to stop, have to stop
Hey! Are you talkin' 'bout your faith?
Take him out! (You gotta keep 'em separated)
Hey! Are you mixin' church and state?
Take him out! (You gotta keep 'em separated)
Hey! Don't you see the rise
In murder, rape, teenage pregnancies and suicides?
Hey! Come out and pray!
Now it's sex, drugs and violence -- the American way
Crumble the morals and the government fails
Once God's ousted, it's a matter of fate
We're goin' down the same path as others before
Everyone from Sodom to the USSR
They never ever see it till it's finally too late
You better find your own hope, find your own hope, find your own
Faith -- Man, is this what's left for me? Where to now?
(You gotta keep 'em educated)
Hey! When they all grow up to be -- criminals
(You gotta keep incarcerated)
Hey! I hope you don't mind
Murder, rape, teenage pregnancies and suicides
Hey! Come out and pray!
The moral is the same 'cause it's happened before
Turn to Second Chronicles and turn to the Lord
In 7, verse 14, He says, "If My people pray ..."
They're gonna finally know hope
Finally know hope, finally know hope, finally know
Hey! Man, there's nothin' to believe -- where to know?
(You gotta keep 'em motivated)
Hey! And the kids grow up to be animals!
(You gotta keep 'em all sedated)
Hey! I hope you don't mind
Murder, rape, teenage pregnancies and suicides
Hey! Come out and pray

2 Chronicles 7:14
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.


ALL APOLOGETIX
Sung to "All Apologies" performed by Nirvana and written by Kurt Cobain
(1 Corinthians 9:22)

"Weird Al" should agree; it's all a parody
Someone else could've made -- every song we played
What if you don't like -- lines the band rewrites
What else do you need -- our apologies?
If our songs get someone to sing along
Is it wrong? Is it wrong? Really? Really?
Writing music that's new is easier to do
But that's not the goal -- let me save some souls
I change all the names -- I can see no shame
Then someone to me will turn
(And say) "Don't you guys do anything original?"
But if our songs get someone to meet the Son
Is it wrong? Is it wrong?
Dare we? Yeah, we ... really ... feel we ... can
I know it's all right

Jude 1:3
Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt I had to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints.


NAOMI GONNA BE WITH RUTH
Sung to "Only Wanna Be With You" performed by Hootie & the Blowfish and written Mark Bryan, Dean Felber, Darius Rucker & Jim "Soni" Sonefeld (Ruth 1-4)

Ruth and me, we come from different worlds
She was a Moabite, I was a Jewish mother's girl
In time, she married a son of mine
It's such a shame because my son and husband died
But there's nothin' I could do
I said, Ruth, I'm gonna go back home
She looked at me, she had something left to say
I'm gonna follow you and with you I will stay
I won't let ... you just leave
Because, Mom, I love you, and you are my family
And there's nothin' you can do
Naomi's gonna be with Ruth
I will call on your God, too
Naomi gonna be with Ruth
Went home to live in Bethlehem, seen all my friends
I said, "My family collapsed when all the men died
"But Ruth has not abandoned me
Changed my life to bittersweet
"She was married to one of my sons
And when he died, she came with me
"I better help her find a hubby
A lonely guy who needs her, too
"Somebody local .
Naomi gonna see her through
"You can call me 'old school'
Naomi gonna see her through
And I think I know just who
Naomi gonna see with Ruth
Sometimes I wonder what might have been
If Ruth abandoned me when I told her to back then
Ruth had a baby ... and down the line
Great grandson David, yeah, the one who fought the giant
And there's the King of the Jews
I know you've heard of Jesus, too
You can call Him, Lord, too
Naomi gonna be with you
Yes, He came from out of Ruth
Naomi wanna be with Ruth
Naomi gonna be with Ruth

Ruth 1:16
But Ruth replied, "Don't urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.


SHEPHERD'S PARADISE
Parody of "Gangsta's Paradise" performed by Coolio With L.V. and written by Artis Ivey, Jr., Larry Sanders, Doug Rasheed & Stevie Wonder
(Psalm 23, John 10:1-30, Matt. 25:31-46)

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will not fear for my life -- I realize that God's with me
His rod and staff have been with me so long
He's been keepin' me from all the places that I might go wrong
But He's the shepherd, I'm the lamb and dinner He serves me
Lets me eat it right in front of foes who would hurt me
They better not touch,they watch me, but they can't touch me
They do and they know that they'll be fighting with God
He filleth up my cup and it overflows
It's no joke, come see yourself, see my cup is so ... full
I'm the kind of sheep that's where the grass is always green
Still waters He leads me beside, stayin' there is a sweet life
The Good Shepherd rules my life
I'm givin' Him the thanks for Paradise
You can spend eternal life
Livin' in the Shepherd's Paradise
Look at the declaration that God is makin':
"I will give my own life in exchange for the sheep."
And he's got it written down in the Good Book
Turn the television off a while and take a look
He's a shepherd who is good to everybody in His flock
Chapter 10, verse 11 in the Gospel of John
Yes, the Lord's my shepherd -- what could be better?
And my home is a mansion in His house forever (Cool!)
Death ain't nothin', so I'll not be afraid
His lovingkindness with follow us all the way
Psalm 23 tells you all of this but there's plenty more
You may even know it -- I don't know
Tell me why is He so kind to His sheep
When we wander away so easily?
An hour is a-coming -- coming in a while where
He will make divisions -- by His mighty power
Shepherd's gonna come and
Decide between the sheep and the goats
And we're all gonna listen as final words are spoken
He'll say you goats deserted me when I was poor and needy
A naked, hungry, stranger -- how did you treat me?
I guess they failed, I guess they're goats, I guess they flunked
That's why I know I like it in the sheepfold

John 10:11
"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep."


COUNTING BLESSINGS
Parody of "Counting Blue Cars" performed by Dishwalla and written by J.R. Richards, Rodney Browning, George Pendergast, Scot Alexander & Greg Kolanek
(Phil. 4:6-8, 1 Peter 5:7)

It must have been miraculous
Paul was jailed -- but how come his smile wasn't snuffed out?
He talked with the churches
In his letters, he would preach, we have
Many blessings -- so fill your thoughts with good
He said
Focus all your thoughts on God
It tells me in Philippians 4
I must admit it's tough to do
All our days there's stuff that's bringin' us down
Think about only good thoughts
Skip the bad -- and you'll see, we have
Many blessings -- so fill your thoughts with good
He said
Focus all your thoughts on God
It'll make your life much easier
And thank Him that you got this far
Focus all your thoughts on God
Cause the devil's a deceiver
He'll tell you life is very hard -- It's not very hard now
When getting low, lift up the praise
All our moods they are choices we must make
Our souls are saved
We are family -- God's own people, and have
Many blessings -- so fill your thoughts with good
CHORUS

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.


PLUMP
Sung to "Lump" performed by the Presidents of the USA and written by Chris Ballew & the Presidents of the United States of America
(Judges 3:12-30)

Plump man on a throne with a body large
Totally controlling Israel from afar
From Moab he had come upon us
He seldomly refused when he passed a McDonald's
He's plump, he's plump -- he's been widespread
He's plump, he's plump, he's plump -- politely said
Plump King Eglon made life a pain
So the Israelites all cried to God to end his reign
God sent Ehud to save the land
In Judges chapter 3 it talks about his secret plan
He's plump, he's plump -- a king-size bed
He's plump, he's plump, he's plump -- he might regret
Eglon was left alone with Ehud because
He said to the king, "I've got a word from God"
He pulled a sword out from underneath
Plump got the point; it went very deep
He's plump, he's plump -- he's been quiet
He's plump, he's plump, he's plump -- he might be dead
Is Eglon out of our hair? I think so
Is Eglon out of his chair? I think so
Was Eglon caught unprepared? I think so
Where's Eglon? Down over there

Judges 3:17
He presented the tribute to Eglon king of Moab, who was a very fat man.


LETTERMAN
Parody of "Better Man" performed by Pearl Jam and written by Eddie Vedder (Luke 6:46)

Late night, watching the TV, it's 12:00, we're watchin' David Letterman
With the Lord, we practice our routines as He opens the show, we roll over
Pretend we're dead just like Spot and Rover
The Bible gives us a top 10 list you can't find on Letterman
We do the stupidest human tricks you can't find on Letterman
Talkin' to our guests, we joke and jest, He sees our show, He's not
impressed
Letters that we read, we throw them out the window
When the wordly turn on us on -- we cut to music as the band plays on
The Bible gives us a top 10 list you can't find on Letterman
We do the dumbest of human tricks you can't find on Letterman
We smile, but there's a big gap there you can't find on Letterman
We need somebody to fill it in you can't find on Letterman
He loves us -- Yeah -- He don't want some T.V. stage
We need Him -- Yeah -- then why do we act this way
Just like on Letterman -- Late Night with Letterman

Luke 6:46
"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?


PEOPLE
Parody of "Pepper" performed by the Buttonhole Surfers and written by Jeffrey Coffey, Gibby Haynes & Paul Walthall
(Revelation 6:9-11, Matthew 5:10, 24:9)

James was caught by Herod, Herod captured Peter
They were sharin' Herod's outbreak of attacks upon believers
James would have to face the sword and Peter would escape it
They were not afraid of dyin'; they both knew that they could take it
Thomas preached in Babylon and India they claim
Then the local folks impaled him with a lance while he was prayin'
They were all about to die but they weren't thinking much about it
And their story didn't have a chance but none of 'em were doubtin'
Why oh why would someone die if it was just a hoax?
Why then take the awful risk to tell us Jesus rose?
Simple men from Galilee would not have spoken lies
To get enrolled in history books as martyrs for Jesus Christ
Simon died along with Jude from arrows, spears or crosses
Someone gave Bartholomew a skin-removal process
Some of them were stoned alive like James the son of Alphaeus
And their stories are the evidence that none of them were doubters
Why oh why would someone die if it was just a hoax?
Why then take the awful risk to tell us Jesus rose?
Simple men like you and me would not have spoken lies
To get well known in all the books as martyrs for Jesus Christ
A lot of guys were crucified for calling Him Messiah
Philip was and Andrew was and possibly Matthias
Peter's was a most unpleasant death for being Christian
They would turn him upside down and then go through with crucifixion
Paul he was beheaded prob'ly Matthew did the same
Well, they threw off of the temple top the other guy named James
They were all about to die but they weren't thinking much about it
There's a gorey bunch of evidence that none of them were doubters

Revelation 6:9
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained.


BIG DEAL
Parody of "Big Me" performed by Foo Fighters and written by Dave Grohl
(James 2:14-26, Acts 26:20)

Well, you talk about your faith in God -- read James chapter 2
Well, you talk about your faith in God -- trees must all bear fruit
Big deal to talk about it -- demons do that, too
They believe that there's one God but that don't make them good
Well, you talk about your faith in God -- Jesus knows if it's true
But it's proved by what you do
When you talk about your faith in God -- feed the destitute
When you talk about your faith in God -- give them clothes and shoes
Big deal to talk about it -- demons do that, too
They see that there's one God and tremble when they do
When you talked about your faith in God, I never doubted you
But it's proved by what you do
Well, I don't deny that faith is all savin' me and you
But it's proved by what you do -- by what you do -- by what you do

James 2:19
You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.


LITTLE SINS
Parody of "Little Things" performed by Bush and written by Gavin Rossdale
(James 2:10, Matthew 5:17-30)

Now Jesus Christ never did like
Folks who'd done wrong but swore they'd done right
Sinning is bound to happen to you
But prayer can repair whatever you do
But hypocrites don't want to admit they need saved
Make the suggestion they punch in your face
They die by the law and you'd be dead, too
If you would try live out all its rules
Those who want to keep the law -- must obey
But it's the little sins that kill -- turn it back to James 2:10
It's the little sins that kill -- the little sins that kill
There goes a girl -- her figure is great
You're lustin' inside but you guess that's O.K.
I'd call it adultery -- and Jesus did, too
Matthew 5:28 -- you always knew
All of us have fallen down -- by the way
It's the little sins that kill -- turn it back to James again
It's the little sins that kill -- second chapter, James, verse 10
Oh, the little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little
Letter of the law letter of the law letter of the law letter of the law
Now watch your mouth -- it really gets rude
I'm an idiot to ya, I'm a nincompoop, you said
You kill with words -- it's really a sin
'cause verbal abuse -- is murder, my friend
CHORUS
Here come the little sins, here come the little ahhhhhh sins!

James 2:10
For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.


STUPID WORLD
Parody of "Stupid Girl" performed by Garbage and written by Garbage, Joe Strummer & Mick Jones
(1 Cor. 1:18-29, 1 Cor. 3:19,20, Romans 1:18-22)

You pretend you're wise but you can't ignore
You have this emptyness
Could it be the Lord is what you need? You just forget
You don't believe in Him, you don't believe in me
You don't believe in anything that you can't see
Stupid world, stupid world
All you have for wisdom is phony atheism
What's wise to God seems unwise to man
And man in his wise intelligence to God is ignorance
You don't believe in God, you don't believe in faith
You don't believe in anything, so you can't pray
Stupid world, stupid world
I can't believe you're wastin' a chance for free salvation
You don't believe in sin, you don't believe in grace
You don't believe in anyone -- but you just wait
Stupid world, stupid world
Paul in First Corinthians nullifies your wisdom
Stupid world, stupid world
Chapter 1, verse 18 totally explains things
Stupid world, stupid world
Chapter 3, verse 19 totally defines things

1 Corinthians 3:19
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: "He catches the wise in their craftiness"


A LIE
Sung to "Alive" performed by Pearl Jam and written by Eddie Vedder & Stone Gossard
(Romans 1:18-23)

Son, they said, have we got a little theory for you
What you thought was your daddy was really a gorilla
Science teachers show you all the bones, but they don't fit
Your real daddy was Darwin
"Sorry, we still can't prove it, but it has to be taught"
Evolution's still a lie (Repeat)
Why does your school enforce it like its true?
It's just a theory, you know?
Why can't they show me any missing links in the chain?
They dug, they dug -- no evidence -- just quantum leaps
Can't you see -- evolution's a lie
Is something wrong with that? Of course, there is
You're not an accident or do you prefer to be?
You're God's creation, and it's so, it's so
So obvious, so obvious

Romans 1:25
They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.


PREACHERS
Parody of "Peaches" performed by the Presidents of the USA and written by Chris Ballew & the Presidents of the United States of America
(Philipp. 1:15-18, 2 Cor. 2:17)

Movin' through the country, gonna see a lot of preachers
Movin' through the country, gonna meet me a lot of preachers
Movin' through the country, gonna hear a lot of preachers
Movin' through the country, gonna meet a lot of preachers
Preachers come good and bad
They are ordinary men
It's a factor we must count
And if some have been led astray
That don't mean that they're all fakes
Some still can point you to the Way
CHORUS
A couple scandals happened -- a real short list
Yes they caught some evangelists
With greed and fraud and women
Point my finger back to Christ
Take a little look at a sinless life
Base your stand on Christianity on His -- not mine
Millions of preachers, preachin' to me
Which ones believe it? Which preach for greed?
Philippians teaches -- verse 1:18
If they really preach Jesus, they're preachy keen
But look out!

Philippians 1:18
But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.


WHO'S THERE?
Parody of "Loser" performed by Beck and written by Beck & Karl Stephenson
(Rev. 3:20, James 5:9)

From your time of infancy Christ was a-knockin'
You say it's in vain but I've got to tell you somethin'
When the bad things I'd done made me detestable
God proved His love because He saved me anyhow
Flick the porchlight and go get the doorbell
Knock, knock! Jesus there, He's lookin' for a place to dwell
Make Him some dinner and invite Him to eat
God'll come in your house if He's got the house key
Someone kept prayin' I would change and I came around
God was ready and He came to me first
Hopefully you'll believe what you read
It's in the book of Revelation there in chapter number three
So save some space and a place in your heart
Save another soul from burnin' in the Lake of Fire! Yo! Got it?
Someone's at the door
Find out who's there, baby -- go light up your building
(Double doors locked shut)
Go and tell the Lord
"I want you to save me -- so why don't Ya fill me?"
Doors are shut even when you know He's right there
Man, don't refuse Him, don't you know that that's dangerous
Cause one spot of evil is enough to call you bad
What's on your soul is a lot more sin than that
And the rerun shows that your door stayed closed up
You said, "Come back at a more convenient time"
He rung the bell, but you kept on sinning
Snuck around the back, He was bangin' on your kitchen screen
Gotta get Christ and you can't delay
Make it fast cause you need Him in your heart to be saved
And it's time to repeat the facts
For all who want eternal life -- which you can now consider
CHORUS
(Get face to face with Jesus)
(That's right God is here -- Yo! Bring Him in now)
I'd invite Him home for dinner then you're gonna change, I can feel it
CHORUS
(Ya better believe it!)
CHORUS
(Yo! Open ze door-zy, baby!)

Revelation 3:20
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.


HEAVEN ISN'T LIKE THAT
Sung to "Shine" performed by Collective Soul and written by Ed Roland
(1 Corinthians 2:9)

Do some good works and lead a good life
Always go to church and try to be really nice ... really nice
Say a couple prayers and finally when you die
Go to Saint Peter, tell him, "Let me come inside
"At least I tried."
Yeah?
No! Heaven isn't like that, child! (now) (pal) (now)
Learn to play the harp, you'll need it while you're there
Pick yourself some wings; I'm sure you'll get a lovely pair
A lovely pair
Reach for a halo, keep it in your hair
Lead a wimpy life eternally with nothing there
But fluffy air
CHORUS
Get in God's word; see what you find
Only place to look to tell you how to get inside
Let me tell you now; you gotta go through Christ
Open up your heart and tell Him He can come inside
Come inside.
Yeah!
Yo! Let Him in your life right now (Repeat 3X)
You know what Heaven's like?
It hasn't entered your mind
Heaven is the best place that's ever been
You wanna get in? Let Him
Let Him in your life; that's the only way
C'mon ... Nowwwwwww ... come on in, in
C'mon Nowwwwwww C'mon inside!

1 Corinthians 2:9
However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"


NO CHAIN
Sung to "No Rain" performed and written by Blind Melon (2 Timothy 2:8,9)

All I can say is that my Bible's pretty plain
It's not that difficult to understand
And I've read it through and I think you should read it, too
But teachers at the school say it's not safe, it's not safe
Don't care what anyone may say to me
I'm gonna read it anyway
I know they'd like to get my teeth extracted
So I can't say what I have to say
And I don't understand why the people say
That I'm not separating church and state
When all that I do is read a book that says to me
To forgive my enemies and pray that they get saved
Get saved, get saved
Paul writes to me; he says in Second Timothy
You know the Gospel still gets through even if I'm in chains
It's not chained, it's not chained
I just want someone to explain to me
Why can't I read it anyplace?
You know I'd like to use my free speech rights today
So let me say what I have to say

2 Timothy 2:8-9
Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel, for which I am suffering even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But God's word is not chained.


YOUNG AS YOU ARE

It's a chance that he won't have again, no he won't have again

CASKET PLACE
Sung to "Basket Case" performed by Green Day and written by Billy Joe Armstrong & Green Day
(Matthew 24)

Do we have much time to live until we find
A lot of things are happening all at once
Crime and violence grow while earthquakes take their toll
Morality is low ... and what about AIDS?
Sometimes I think this world's asleep
Soon we just might be history
Signs keep adding up; I think I'm waking up
I'm not just paranoid; I'm not alone
I went to a bank to use the cash machine
What happens when those cash machines all shut down?
I went to Al Gore. He said Earth's life support
Has nearly been destroyed -- no cure can be found
Sometimes I think this world's asleep
Keep your eyes on the Middle East
Signs keep adding up; I think I'm waking up
I'm not just paranoid; I'm not alone
Christ will soon return, so you'd better know God

Matthew 16:3
"You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times."


LIGHTNING FLASHES
Sung to "Lightning Crashes" performed by Live and written by Edward Kowalczy & Live
(Matt. 24:27)

Lightning flashes all over the sky
Weather center calls for a storm
This ain't no ordinary sky
The invasion begins
Who thought that God would step in and stop the war?
Lightning flashes ... an old book of mine
Clearly mentioned all this before
We ain't supposed to be surprised
But the few who prepared
Are gone now as we face the wrath of God
Ooh, I see Him comin' back again
Like the lightning comes from east to the west
Faces fallin' as the Son returns to earth again ... I can see Him
Lightning flashes ... the moment of Christ
This moment He's been waitin' for
The angel hosts have arrived!
Pale and paralyzed, we face the Son
But the glory is too bright! Bright!
Ooh, I see Him comin' back again
Like the lightning comes from east to the west
Voices callin' out as sinners on the earth confess, "I believe it!"
Ooh, I see Him comin' back again
Like the lightning comes from east to the west
We're so sorry, but repentence doesn't work right then, I can see it
Ooh, I see Him comin' back again
Like He told in Matthew's Gospel back then
Chapter 24 the 27th verse, amen ... I believe it

Matthew 24:27
"For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man."


INYERFACE LOVE SONG
Sung to "Interstate Love Song" by performed by Stone Temple Pilots and written by Dean DeLeo & Scott Weiland
(Romans 10:9,13)

Feelin' like there's someone after you?
Don't run away from Jesus Christ ... tonight
Feelin' like a man who wants to change
So do you want eternal life? Decide!
Believe that He rose from the grave
And confess your faith in Christ
Call His name and believe in Him
And then watch Him change your life
All you need is to pray to Him
Prayin' is the hardest thing you'll do
The rest is easy 'cause He changes you ... inside ... for life
Believe that He rose from the grave
And confess Him with your mouth
Romans 10 says that He will save
Everyone who trusts Him now
All you need is to pray to Him

Romans 10:9
That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.


YOU GOTTA GO
Parody of "You Oughta Know" performed by Alanis Morissette and written by Alanis Morissette & Glen Ballard
(Ecclesiastes 7:5, Romans 1:18-21, 10:9-13)

I want you to know that I have prayed for you
I wish nothing but the best for your soul
I know you're worried prob'ly -- you'll get converted like me
When it comes down to it there's a fear there
Cause you say, "Hell -- it can't be"
You should play poker, baby
You sure do make a really excellent bluffer
Those who call on His name will be saved by His grace
Cause He paid quite enough for you when, you know, He died
And every time you speak His name it's in vain, what a shame
Cause His arms are still open wide -- open wide -- while you're still alive
But I'm here -- to remind you of the mess you're in if you turn away
If you dare -- to deny Him and the cross then there is a different place
You, you, you -- gotta go
You think there's no Hell -- you're not evil
I'm not nice to tell you that you could go
If you forget about me -- you can do as you please
I ain't above you -- I'm a miserable sinner
But there's a path we must take
Now if we wanna be saved
And if you think it's a joke -- then you'll suffer
Those who call on His name will be saved by His grace
Cause He paid quite enough for you when, you know, He died
And every time you speak His name it's in vain, what a shame
Cause His arms are still open wide -- open wide -- while you're still alive
But I'm here -- to remind you of the mess you're in if you turn away
It's not fair -- to deny Him
And the cross and just think you'll get away
You, you, you -- gotta go
There's no one who can say that He sent them away
Cause an offer was made to you and you closed your eyes -- and you knew it
And every one who goes to hell has no-one else to blame
That's not appealing -- I hurt your feelings
CHORUS

Ecclesiastes 7:5
It is better to heed a wise man's rebuke than to listen to the song of fools.
