From the album Synchronicity, Every Breath You Take was a #1 Pop hit for The Police in 1983.

Songwriter:
Sting

J's Journal:
This song discusses salvation, only it's not like there really are a bunch of steps. Aside from Romans 10:9-13, the other key passage of scripture discussed here is 2 Peter 3:9: "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." I was in my second band the summer "Every Breath You Take" came out as a single. I was a big Police fan, so I bought the "Synchronicity" album the day it came out, and we learned the song right away.

Every Step to Take
Parody of "Every Breath You Take" by The Police
(Romans 10:9-13, 2 Peter 3:9)

Every debt you face can be removed through grace
Every law you break can be fixed through faith if you want them to
Every sinful way can be cured today
Every stain will fade -- they'll be wiped away if you want them to
Oh, can't you see? You'd be wrong to flee
While the good Lord waits till every soul is saved
If you move too late there's a price you pay
There's no time to waste -- get a clean, new slate ‘cause He wants you to
Sinned so long I’d be lost without His grace
‘cause Jesus Christ is the only way that saves
You're lookin' 'round for a truth you can embrace
He'll fill your soul with a strong enduring faith
At least try Him, baby, baby please.
Oh, can't you see -- Second Peter 3?
How the good Lord waits -- till every soul is saved
If you use true faith, if you bow to pray
Use your mouth to say Jesus' name today ‘cause that's what to do
He'll remove your shame, just confess His name ‘cause that’s what to do
Cause He wants you to
