Walk His Way
Parody of “Walk This Way” performed by Aerosmith and written by Joe Perry & Steven Tyler
(Acts 3:1-12)

Bad-footed brother, I was hopin’ to recover
But the doctors, I’m sad to say
Said, “We can’t do nothin’ so you’re down on your luck because
You’re sure to be lame to stay.”
So it was clear to me that what I needed was to be
The kind of guy you could never resist
Had to beg for my supper with a system I discovered
When I started as a little kid — like this!

See my sign sayin’ “Give a coin to the poor”?
Could you please find somethin’ to spare?
I said, “Hey, give a little bit of pity to a cripple!”
When it seemed like they didn’t care
But I took a big step as the Bible says
With some Christians who were ready to pray
‘Cause it seemed my feet was ruined but they knew what they was doin’
When the both of them appeared today
And they told me to
Walk His way, walk His way, walk His way, walk His way
Walk His way, walk His way, walk His way, walk His way
They just gave me a gift — like this!

Woo! Uh!

So John and Peter — they were passin’ by this afternoon
For prayer time today at three
I said, “Please, I’m beggin’ — put some gold in my pockets!”
When they told me, “Baby, look here at me!”
I was quite confused I never made it with my legs
Until their voices told me somethin’ was diff
They said, “Forget those treasures ‘cause we got a better favor.”
And they gave me just a little gift like this

Things started tinglin’ as the boys gave a pull
With my feet flyin’ up in the air
Sayin’, “Hey, it’s a miracle!” It’s really pretty clear
Because I didn’t have to sit in a chair
So I took a big step with my right foot and left
With those Christians who were ready to pray
Was a really big improvement ‘cause they knew what they was doin’
And I'm totally whole and not dismayed — I’m goin’ to
Walk His way, talk His way, walk His way, walk His way
Walk His way, walk His way, walk His way, talk His way
He just gave me a gift — like this!

Religion on the edge
It's amazing, but I ain't crazy, and I ain't cryin',
And I ain't j-j-jaded no more, no more
It’s a sweet emotion, and if you think I’m gonna give this up, dream on.
He came to give us life abundantly, and I don’t wanna miss a thing.
And then He’s gonna take me to the other side.
Don’t give me that same old song and dance;
I was the last child anybody thought He’d save.
I couldn’t stand on my own any better than a rag doll.
Now this dude looks like his legs work.
And I was no angel, either.
But Jesus has what it takes to make it all come together.
Life is an elevator, baby – are you goin’ up or down?

Acts 3:7-8
Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God.
