Turn to Luke
Parody of "Turn Me Loose" performed by Loverboy and written by Paul Dean & Mike Reno
(Luke 10:29-37)
I was warned a bunch by the local police
That taking this road could end in grief
It's not the newest highway – it's not safe at all
And I was hit by thieves – I'm feelin' under siege
Playin' rough -- soon they left me to bleed
Upon a Jewish highway – with no way to call
And then two came around -- the kind you'd find in town
On the Temple mount
I thought they'd offer first aid – but, no, they did not
Well, I've had all I can take – I can't take it no more
I'm gonna pass away and die – why wait?
There's no aid at all
So why don't you
Turn to Luke, turn to Luke, turn to Luke
In chapter 10 you'll find me – but don't wait at all
Why don't you
Turn to Luke, turn to Luke, turn to Luke
You gotta do it right away – I'm gonna die
A Samaritan sees
I'm here and stops for me
Taking time to attend to my needs
I thought the dude would shy away because he wasn't my race
And when my wounds were bound
He'd drive me down to town
That was so profound
He gladly spent his own pay -- you might be sayin' no way!
So why don't you
Learn the truth -- turn to Luke 10 for proof
And start in 29, babe – and go read it all
Why don't you
Turn to Luke, turn to Luke, turn to Luke
You oughta do it right away – find what's inside
Ooh yeah!
So why don't you
Learn the truth -- turn to Luke 10 for proof
And start in 29, babe – and go read it all
Why don't you
Turn to Luke, turn to Luke, turn to Luke
You oughta do it right away – you oughta do it right away
Why don't you
Turn to Luke, turn to Luke, turn to Luke
You oughta do it right away – find what's inside
Turn to Luke, turn to Luke, turn to Luke
Turn to Luke, turn to Luke, turn to Luke
Turn to Luke!
Luke 10:36
"Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?"
No One Likes You
Parody of "No One Like You" performed by The Scorpions and written by Rudolf Schenker and Klaus Meine
(Matthew 5:10-12, John 15:18-25, 1 Peter 4:12-19, 1 Corinthians 4:13)
Go – spend a lifetime with peace in your heart
But you long for His heavenly love
'Cause Christians face violence and hate
They – want to tease and won't leave you alone
It's getting harder with time – yes, I know
They silence your voice night and day
When no one likes you
They can't wait for a fight with you
They imagine the things you do
They just want to beat up on you
No one likes you
I can't say more than Christ, it's true
Find this passage and think things through
5 verse 10 to verse 12 Matthew
Go – there and re-read those words of His love
They'll describe all the long and short of
Our hope that I'm feeling these days
Ooh, babe, John 15 – you might've read this before
Says they're mad you belong to the Lord
They hated Christ first anyway
When no one likes you
They can't wait for a fight with you
They imagine the things you do
They just want to beat up on you
No one likes you
I can pray for their lives with you
Christ said that is what we should do
In verse 5:44 Matthew
Whoa! LEAD
No one likes you
They can't wait for a fight with you
They imagine the things you do
They just want to beat up on you
No one likes you
I've got way more advice for you
Find this passage and please review
In First Peter 4:12 right through
John 15:18-19
"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you."
Works
Parody of "Words" performed by Missing Persons and written by Terry Bozzio & Warren Cuccurullo
(Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 2:14, 3:8, 3:14; James 2:14-26; Matthew 7:16-23; 1 Corinthians 15:10; Romans 6:1-23)
Do you have deeds … do you care?
Do you need deeds … do you care?
My works will prove and bear my salvation out
You worship God above, but I have my doubts
That you realize – uh what His Book said
You look at me and say you're into grace
It's like Ephesians 2:10 has no place with 2:8 and 9
You got no works -- you're just dead
What are works for? We're all on missions from the Lord
What are works for? We're goin' fishin'
What are works for? If no one did them there's no use talkin' 'bout God
Read Titus we'll go over doctrine with Paul
If those good works are having no effect at all
There's some funny things – to Titus Paul wrote
Come to Titus chapter 2:14 for directions
3:8, 3:14, too, will both give you the strong impression
That there's more to grace -- than Satan might sell
What are works for? In First Corinthians study more
What are works for? In chapter 15
What are works for? In verse 10, listen, you know who's talkin' – that's Paul
Do you have deeds … do you care?
Do you need deeds … do you care?
Let Him preside -- over your dead body
Hope to see it soon – when will I know?
Your faith is private, so it's not showin'
But we'll always have works when His grace has changed us
Time's ticking, my friend
But I guess you know it now
I guess you know it now
I guess you know it now, know it now
Now, now, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow
Peruse in chapter 2 in James there's other things you'll find
And Matthew 7:21 if you feel so inclined
Go to Romans 6 – I think you'll find it there, too
Maybe a holy Lord is calling you to action
You can't be irresponsible – you're not in traction
Go and answer Him – before He pulls out the rug
What are works for? We know from James 2:24
What are works for? But no one listens
What are works for? When yours are missin' there's no use talkin' 'bout God
What are works for? Well, no one's gets 'em in the door
What are works for? It's not some system
What are works for? They show we're different from phonies talkin' 'bout God
What are works for? We know salvation's from the Lord
What are works for? With no additions
What are works for? They grow our witness with those who ought to know God
1 Corinthians 15:10
But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.
Don't Tell Me We're Lucky
Parody of "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" performed by Night Ranger and written by Jack Blades
(Genesis 1:1-3:24, Job 9:1-12, Romans 1:18-25)
There ain't nowhere to move
This ain't no alien movie – ah no
There ain't no place in space
That any man can live safely – oh no
We've had SETI for years and we're still all alone
I've got a different reaction
Don't tell me we're lucky – don't tell me we're lucky
Don't tell me life rose on its own
Don't tell me we're lucky – don't tell me we're lucky
Don't tell me life rose on its own
I love the way they use
The Drake Equation to woo me -- ah yeah
I love the Way of Truth
They'd love some phasers to shoot to kill me – oh yeah
They say the Bible's a lie, but it was right all along
I'll keep a-clingin' on
So don't tell me we're lucky – don't tell me we're lucky
Don't tell me life rose on its own
Don't tell me we're lucky – don't tell me we're lucky
Don't tell me life rose on its own
LEAD
Don't tell me we're lucky
Don't tell me we're luckyyyyyy
(Lucky, we're lucky)
Don't tell me we're lucky
(we're lucky, we're lucky)
Don't tell me we're lucky
(we're lucky, we're lucky)
Don't tell me we're lucky, lucky, lucky, yeah!
(we're lucky, we're lucky)
Don't tell me we're lucky – don't tell me we're lucky
Don't tell me life rose on its own
Don't tell me we're lucky – don't tell me we're lucky
Don't tell me life rose on its own

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Thankfully
Parody of "Faithfully" performed by Journey and written by Steve Perry, Neal Schon & Jonathan Cain
(Jeremiah 31:3, John 10:28-30, Deuteronomy 31:6-8, Hebrews 13:5)
I may run – turn into an in-flight son
Still, Lord I have found -- You're on my side
Reckless heart -- seems it won't do right
Spendin' all my life – among the wild
They say that the Romans Road makes us part of family
I've read Jeremiah 31 verse 3
And I'm just a stupid man – ain't always what I'm s'posed to be
But, oh, Lord – You said and I read
I'm forever Yours – thankfully
Such is life – under this big-rock world
We all need the ground to help us hide
Through grace that's kind – always You love us though
Wandering, wayward lambs – lost without You
And beggin' Your pardon's easy, but it wasn't fair
You came to Earth and all You got was pain
And I get the joy that we discover in You
Oh, Lord, You bled, and I'm freed
I'm forever Yours – thankfully
Whoa oh-oh-oh
Whoa oh-oh-oh oh
Whoa oh-oh-oh oh-whoooooa-oh
Thankfully
I'm still Yours
Thankfully
On the Romans Road
Not alone
Thankfully
Jeremiah 31:3
The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness."

(Acts 17:11; 2 Timothy 2:15, 3:16; Romans 15:4; Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:2)
Yeah, yeah
Don't wanna wait till you know it better
Let's get that black Book they bind with leather
Why search for teachers -- it's time you faced this
It's made to read on a personal basis
It ain't a crime – take a look for yourself

Born in the Jewish Faith
Parody of "Born in the U.S.A." performed and written by Bruce Springsteen
(Acts 9:1-30, 26:9-18; John 3:3)
Born proud in a dead man's crowd
I first read God's Book when I was just a child
Ended up the Law was a bit too much
Still I spent half my life just tryin' to live up, now
Born in the Jewish faith -- I was -- born in the Jewish faith -- I was
Born in the Jewish faith -- born in the Jewish faith, now
Thought Christians were a lowdown sham
Thought I'd put a rightful end to them
Headed off to a foreign land
To go and kill my fellow man
Born in the Jewish faith -- I was -- born in the Jewish faith -- ah
Born in the Jewish faith – I was -- born in the Jewish faith
On that road I was too blind to see
Heard a man say, Saul, why do you punish me?
Fell down – I didn't see any man
He said, Saul, don't you understand, now?
(No, I didn't) (no, no) (no, no, no)
I had discovered – that all along
I'd been – fightin' the Lord, I was so headstrong
How could I – be so wrong?
He had someone that He loved lay hands on
I got my vision back when it was done
Now the Bible is gonna mention me
I'll be in – Acts 9 – with the Lord finally, you know
It's been years – since turnin' on that road
Now when I'm done, I've got somewhere to go
Born in the Jewish faith – I was -- born in the newest way, now
Born in the newest way -- I'm a long-lost son who found the truest way, now
Born in the newest way, born in the newest way
Born in the newest way -- yes, it's true, God's my daddy in the truest way, now
Oh yeah-eh
Long, long, long ago
On a dark, dark road
Long, long, long ago
Hey!
Long, long, long ago
Acts 26:9-10
"I too was convinced that I ought to do all that was possible to oppose the name of Jesus of Nazareth. And that is just what I did in Jerusalem. On the authority of the chief priests I put many of the saints in prison, and when they were put to death, I cost my vote against them."
Boys Are Scary
Parody of "Voices Carry" performed by 'Til Tuesday and written by Robert Holmes, Aimee Mann, Michael Hausman & Joey Pesce
(Genesis 34:1-31)
As a daughter I was treated kind
But my life's become the scene of a crime
Well, my brothers comfort me with kid gloves – but there is a rage
When I tell them 'bout the foreigner's love, what do they say?
Hu-ush, hush – weep not, Dinah -- boys are scary
Hu-ush, hush – weep not, Dinah -- boys are scary – uh oh
I tried so hard not to get them upset
'Cause I knew that they'd do stuff I'd regret
I could tell that they had something in mind -- and something severe
And I tried so hard to be a good bride, but no one's left here
Hu-ush, hush – weep not, Dinah -- boys are scary
Hu-ush, hush – weep not, Dinah -- boys are scary
Hu-ush, hush – weep not, Dinah -- boys are scary – uh oh
He robbed me – that's only part of the crime
They robbed me – when he was treating me kind
Hush, hush – weep not, Dinah -- boys are scary
(Hush, Dinah, boys are scary, scary)
Hush, hush – weep not, Dinah -- boys are scary
(Hush, Dinah, boys are scary, scary)
Oh-oh-oh, hush, hush – cheer up now -- boys are scary
(Hush, Dinah, boys are scary, scary)
Oh-oh-oh, hush, hush – weep not, Dinah -- boys are scary
(Hush, Dinah, boys are scary, scary)
Oh-oh-oh, hush, hush, Dinah, stay right over here
(Hush, Dinah, boys are scary, scary)
Uh, oh – boys are scary
(Hush, Dinah, boys are scary, scary)
They said, "Cheer up" – they said, "Cheer up"
(Hush, Dinah, boys are scary, scary)
Lord God, can't You -- hear me now?
(Hush, Dinah, boys are scary, scary)
Boys are scary
(Hush, Dinah, boys are scary, scary)
Uh, oh – boys are scary
I wish -- they would -- let me go
Genesis 34:26
They put Hamor and his son Shechem to the sword and took Dinah from Shechem's house and left.
Expected to Love
Parody of "Addicted to Love" performed and written by Robert Palmer
(Matthew 5:43-48, 6:12-15; Luke 6:27-36; Romans 12:14-21; John 13:34-35; 1 Corinthians 6:1-8)
Your rights are wronged, but your Ride Home
Says, "You're Mine – you're not your own"
Your heart frets, your body shakes
You know that this was no mistake
You can't speak (whoa-oh) through clenched teeth
There's no doubt – you've been grieved
You're so uptight – you can't believe
You must forgive your enemies
Whoa-oh-oh
You like to think that you don't do stupid stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you ain't good enough
You know, you're gonna have to face it
You're expected to love
There's famous lines that you can read
They start in Matthew 5:43
You want peace in troubled times
Get over this and you'll be fine
Without that mind you can't be saved
Forgiving others as God forgave
But there's something more in Luke
6:29 for you too
Whoa-oh-oh
You like to think that you don't do stupid stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you ain't good enough
You know, you're gonna have to face it
You're expected to love
He writes in John -- the world will know
You're His – by love you've shown
The bar's set by Jesus Christ
In John 13, verse 35
Ohh oohh
You like to think that you don't do stupid stuff, oh yeah
Romans 12:14 through 20 and 21
You know, you're gonna have to face it
You're expected to love
You might as well face it – you're expected to love
REPEAT 7X
Matthew 5:44-45
"But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous."
Dweebs
Parody of "Dreams" performed by Van Halen and written by Sammy Hagar, Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen & Michael Anthony
(1 Corinthians 1:26-30, 4:13; John 15:4-5; 1 John 3:24, 4:13)
World turns its back on Christ, the Scriptures and the empty tomb
And once you follow now – they'll estrange from you
Yeah, but reach for the opening – preach for the Christ
Baby, they said you're weak
But that fighter's inside ya – wait up, you'll find
You'll get fire inside ya – that the Lord's behind
Some might turn away
Like their brain's under attack
Don't confuse their messy minds
With the clean-cut facts
They slander us both as dweebs
Never prove 'em right, oh!
'Cause they spread those things
But they're liars and hiders – wake up, you'll find
We'll get fire inside us – that the Lord's behind
So, baby, Christ abides -- Satan knows that He's inside
Oh, that's what he's afraid of
'Cause we belong to the Lord, so just be strong
Show them what dweebs are made of
Yeah, but that fighter's inside ya – wait up, you'll find
Fire's inside ya that the Lord's behind
Oh, the Messiah's inside ya, you know, but they're blind
So, baby, Christ arrived, saved all us here who cried
Though this world seems to hate us
'Cause, baby, we belong to a world that's just beyond
Show them what dweebs are made of
And in the end – God's dweebs He will defend
Show them God's love that saved us
1 Corinthians 1:26-27
Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
You Give Up on Bad Days
Parody of "You Give Love a Bad Name" performed by Bon Jovi and written by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora & Desmond Child
(Romans 5:3-5; 2 Corinthians 4:17; Hebrews 10:23, 35-39; Psalm 43:5, 98:4, 100:1)
Shout to the Lord – but you're too tame
Darlin', you give up on bad days
You're anxious now and much too frail
Your problems seem heavy – you could use some help
Today was rough – but in Romans 5:3
It says that afflictions they can't break me
Whoa oh oh -- you're alone with God --- yeah
Whoa oh oh -- this whole day seems shot
Don't want to praise Him – you're very distraught
Shout to the Lord – but you're too tame
You give up on bad days (bad days)
The faint of heart ought to praise His name
You give up on bad days (bad days)
Hey, don't give up -- on bad days
Woo!
He'll change those trials on your list
God prevails over things like this
He'll use those things – and that's no lie
And Second Corinthians 4:17 shows why
Whoa oh oh -- you're alone with God
Whoa oh oh -- there's no place He's not
Go on and praise Him, don't panic, just watch
Shout to the Lord – but you're too tame
You give up on bad days (bad days)
Your break might start when you praise His name
You give up on bad days (bad days)
Don't give up -- no
Ohhhhh
Shout to the Lord – but you're too tame
You give up on bad days
The faint of heart ought to praise His name
You give up on bad days (bad days)
Shout to the Lord – but you're too tame
You give up on bad days (bad days)
Your break might start when you praise His name
You give up on bad days (bad days)
You give up (Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Don't give up (Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) (Bad days)
You give up (Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Don't give up (Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) (Bad days)
You give up (Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Don't give up (Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) (Bad days)
You give up (Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Don't give up (Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) (Bad days)
2 Corinthians 4:17

You know, you never – you never pray when things go good
And they work out the way they should
But our Lord did
And I know He'd like you to -- the way that Christ taught you
It's all in Matthew – oh, yes, that's true
Remember, in chapter 6 it's laid out great
He showed us how we ought to pray – yes indeedy
And I know He says that we should pray unceasingly
First Thessalonians 5:17, babe
As you're risin' – in the early morn
As high noon approaches – until you're sleepin' and snorin'
All occasions -- God, the sovereign Lord
Says, baby, talk daily to me
Suppose I called you -- I called you on the telephone
But only called to ask for loans -- could I get near you?
Yet you pray for what you need -- and miss when your God speaks
But God'll hear you - just seek His will, babe
As you're drivin' -- when you mow that yard
Or dry the dishes – when your life's easy or hard
All occasions – God, the sovereign Lord
Says, baby, talk daily to me
See, see, pick up at the Psalms and, uh, start to read
LEAD
Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!
So pray and you'll see
As you're strivin' – it can open doors
Behind them – look in
You'll be seekin' Him, more, more, more
Now just praise Him – your God, the sovereign Lord
Says, baby, talk daily to me, yeah
Says, baby, talk daily to me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And, baby – talk daily to me
Mmm
Woooooh
That's the way that Christ did, baby
Ooh yeah!
Daniel 6:10
Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.
