(John 15:18-25, Psalm 119:160, James 1:22-24, Romans 1:16-32, Ephesians 2:8)
You see 'em comin' after everything right
Somehow pretendin’ that God approves of Earth’s pride
Ooh!
They don’t like Christians or things that are pure
They’re making threats, yes, it’s nothing new; we've seen it before
Spreadin' around doubt, sayin' the Bible is dumb
They never let sound-thinking ruin their fun
They never miss a chance, though, to make light of you
They’d give it up if they ... read the Bible once through
Yeah!
You create tension; you can bet that they know
That you’re a Christian — ain’t no way to win, bro
They always make like you’re a cop on the scene
They felt uncomfy like you’ve come along with magic beans
Ooh!
Puttin' down your ideals; they don't want your help
They'd rather read some lies from the dudes on their shelf
The thing that they need they just plainly refuse
You’d never guess it’s free … and the Bible was, too
Yet the Bible knows you
And the Bible shows you
Everybody needs to
Read through — please do
Mm!
Now they’ll confuse you with impossible claims
Gaze at the mirror — chapter 1; it’s found in James ... ah
You got the story; He paid for it all
You pay attention to Romans and Apostle Paul
Take a Bible – confess He's the Way
You can't escape the powers who attack us today
The more the others there see the Lord’s light in you
The better chance they’ll say …
Guess the Bible was true
Ooh!
(Yes, the Bible was true) Heh-heh-ha-ha
(Yes, the Bible was true)
Psalm 119:160
All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal.
