Straight Street
Parody of "Mainstreet" by Bob Seger
(Acts 9:10-19, 22:12-16)

I remember starin' when He called and said, Ananias!
It's time to get your courage up
There is this road in Damascus that you must go down
Got a rendezvous that's rough
Get along, Ananias!
You still must leave
You've got a job there prayin'
For that bloke you'll meet
Down on Straight Street, down on Straight Street

And he's called Saul of Tarsus
And I'll use him
He used to torture you in the past
But the man's gone blind
He knows he's Mine
Just you watch, He'll catch on fast

I'll take Saul to all the nations
So folks will come and see
The amazing grace of God
Found with empathy
Down on Straight Street, down on Straight Street

LEAD

Saul's blind, but even now
If you'll pray and only believe
He'll get back his sight
And you'll finally see
Down on Straight Street
Down on Straight Street
Down on Straight Street
Down on Straight Street
Down on Straight Street
Down on Straight Street

Acts 9:11
The Lord told him, "Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a
man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying."
