Still Isn't Right
Parody of "Still of the Night" performed by Whitesnake and written by David Coverdale & John Sykes
(Acts 5:1-11, Luke 12:15-34, Ephesians 5:3-5, Proverbs 15:27, 1 Timothy 6:6-10, Matthew 6:24, Psalm 37:25)
And it still isn't right if all the world follows money
Sneakin' around the Lord
And it killed Ananias and Sapphira — greed is deadly
Tellin' you ya gotta have more
There in Acts chapter 5, I see their full-blown lies
Tragedy was in store
Their hearts started quakin', their bodies started shakin', and they
Can't fake no more
No, no, no
Now, I just wanna disclose to you
The basic laws of greed
And I know money gets stuff for you
I feel your money need
But it still isn't right
And it killed Ananias
Open ears, baby
If you're greedy for gain now hang your head down low
Find your faith in the Son
He'll provide every day if you believe in Christ
While waiting for the life to c-c-come
Ooo-ooh ... crazy!
In the blink of an eye
You could lose your life
And see your hard-earned savings
Didn't really survive
Who gave it?
Who saved it?
Can't keep it anyway
God said He knows
You need food and clothing
You can't keep it anyway, can't keep it anyway
Can't keep it anyway!
I can't keep it anyway ... no!
You gotta give it up!
God'll give us enough for every day
Can't keep it anyway!
Ooh, baby! You know it!
Ahhhhhhh
You know the deal, baby
And it still isn't right if all the world follows money
Sneakin' around the Lord
And it killed Ananias and Sapphira — greed is deadly
Tellin' you ya gotta have more
Oooh ... mammon!
Now I just wanna disclose to you
Temptation looks for greed
An idol's what it becomes to you
Ephesians 5 verse 3 — and Ephesians 5:5
Ooooh yeah-eh-ehh
And it still isn't right
Why do we sneak around the Lord?
And it still isn't right
And it still isn't right
And love of money's popular now
Still isn't right, still isn't right, still isn't right
Still isn't right, still isn't right, still isn't right
Still isn't right, still isn't right, still isn't right
Still isn't right, still isn't right, still isn't right
Still isn't right, still isn't right, still isn't right
Acts 5:1-2
Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet.
