The Things We Used to Love
Parody of “The Things We Do for Love” performed by 10cc and written by Eric Stewart & Graham Gouldman
(1 Peter 4:1-4, Philippians 3:12-14, Romans 6, 1 John 2:15-17)

Admit it, folks, it's hard to follow Him forever
Too many roving eyes with different stuff to see
He paid our debts, and then we laid aside the things we used to love
(The things we used to love)

Sanctification is a process — you meander
You’ve gotten humbled and you can’t do it on your own
But when we turn, we learn the lies about the things we used to love
(The things we used to love)

Christ washes sin away and you know where ya still have to grow
When you're feelin' like a part of you is dyin'
Have you looked at Romans 6? You'll see you're right
You think He's gonna break us, but refreshed He wants to make us

Ooooh ... your Savior loves you
Ooooh ... you've gotta pray
Ooooh ... you had been crawlin' ... but you'll walk
(Ah-ah ah-ah)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, woooooh ooooh)
(Dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum)
(Dum dum dum dum dum — dum dum)

Christ washes sin away in your soul, and ya know there's a goal
When you still were at the party you was dyin'
When you looked to find the answer, it arrived
Those things they wanna take us — from the precious One who saved us

Ooooh ... your Savior loves you
Ooooh ... you've got His grace
Ooooh ... you had been fallen ... but you'll walk

Don’t compromise with old unhealthy situations
You need to listen — read what's in First Peter 4
Our nasty foe will just romanticize
All the things we used to love
(The things we used to love)
The things we used to love
(The things we used to love)
(Don't love) The things we used to love
(The things we used to love) (oh oh)
(Don't love) The things we used to love
(The things we used to love) (oh oh)
(Don't love) The things we used to love (yeah-eh)
(The things we used to love) (oh oh)
(Don't love) The things we used to love (yeah-eh)
(The things we used to love) (oh oh)
(Don't love) The things we used to love (yeah-eh)
(The things we used to love) (oh oh)
(Don't love) The things we used to love (yeah-eh)
(The things we used to love) (oh oh)
(Don't love) The things we used to love (yeah-eh)
(The things we used to love) (oh oh)
(Don't love) The things we used to love (yeah-eh)
(The things we used)

1 Peter 4:3
For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.
