Learning How to Bounce
Parody of “Burning Down the House” performed by The Talking Heads and written by David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison & Tina Weymouth
(Psalm 37:1-40, 46:10, 94:19; 1 Peter 5:7; Philippians 4:6; Matthew 6:25-34; Proverbs 3:5-6, 12:25, 24:16; Isaiah 26:3)

Ahhhhh
Squash doubt!
You might fret, but you'll have ta
Cool it, baby!
Stressin' out is dangerous
I am old yet very spry
Learning how to bounce

Hold tight
Wait till you've thought it over
Don't bite
Refrain from drastic measures
Then ask God to lead the way
Learning how to bounce

Fear's addictive; that's a fact
I'm not jumping overboard
When salvation is here
Don't give up; you got so far
Baby, He knows where you are
Right beside your Messiah

Ahhh
Don't fret
Yeah, you might be afraid, bro
Stay calm
Keep walkin' in a straight line
Remember His divine decrees
Learning how to bounce
Ahhh

If you're hunting for a place
Psalm 37 sure might help
Go read 1 through verse 8
People often make it worse
You may do something you'll regret
Don't abandon your faith
Ahhh

Learning how to bounce

I've found
Doubting the Lord is scary
That's right
Don't run; it serves nobody
Trusting sure can keep me from defeat
Learning how to bounce

Philippians 4:6 does support
That you and I need not to fret
Check First Peter 5:7
And I don't know what to expect
Let's read and do what Jesus said
Brightened by our Messiah
Ahhh

Psalm 37:8
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.
