Seek Out God to Be Free
Parody of "People Got to Be Free" by The Rascals
(Romans 5:1-2, John 8:31-32)

Go the world over, go preach in the streets
People need aware of just what is decreed
Listen, please, Christians, spread the Word like good seed
Peace is available with God completely free
Ha ha yeah
Ha ha yeah

You can see – what a lovely, lovely world this would be
If everyone were to live forever – uh huh
Seems to me – stuff that Jesus preached can bring you peace
Uh, why can't you and me learn to trust in the Father?
No, now …

Go the world over, go preach in the streets
People need aware of just what is decreed (what is decreed)
The heavenly plan is so simple to me (it is)
People everywhere, trust God to be free
Ha ha yeah
Ha ha yeah

If there's a man who is bound up in some filthy sin
God has grace so you can come to him and to pull him through – uh huh
Seems to me that God absolves us unconditionally, uh huh
So go tell ‘em the truth that can set you free
Yes, go …

You can shout unto a mountain, "Go into the sea"
Don't you ever doubt it – it will actually be
Ask if I'm a sinner – I'm a sinner indeed (uh huh)
That's our situation but a man can be freed
Get right with the Lord now

All of the freedom that someone could need
Comes to you from One who made the blind man see (made the man see)
Everybody sins but c'mon and don't weep
Peace is available with God through J.C.

Spoken:
Look! See that man over there?
That's a man that needs Him
He's about to expire any minute now
You know it's in John 8:32
Look out now ‘cause he's comin' right over to you

John 8:31-32
To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching,
you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth
will set you free."
