Jeremiah loved the true God Was a good friend of mine I never edited a single word he said But I helped him ink his lines And he always had me write 'em down twice, singin'
Boy, tell the world All my voice enfurls now Boy, tell them visions that they need to see Going to you from me
If I were the king in the wall I'll tell you what I'd do I'd throw away those little false gods, end the war And make peace it's up to you (Sing it now)
Boy, tell the world Ah, they're going to quarrel now Boy, tell them issues that they need to see Boy, it's you and me
You know I'm not courageous I'd love to have more fire I'm no high-priced scribe or Any paid ghost writer My name's Baruch, the son of Neriah The main dude it was Jeremiah
Boy, tell the world Ah, the choice is theirs now Boy, tell them this is it, believe you me Boy, it's true indeed
Boy, tell the world All my voice enfurls Boy, it's you and me Boy, tell the world Boy, tell the world Boy, it's true indeed Ah, the choice is theirs now Boy, tell them this is it, believe you me Boy, it's true indeed
Wake up, we probably should talk a little, Jacob Why? Because there's been a major shake up Light the lamp they keep on the table Yeah, you married me instead of Rachel You want me to Wear a veil and never put the shades up? You want me to Try to starve and find a way to shape up? You want me to Drive to Egypt get myself a facial? You want me to?
Oh, I don't think you trust in my shelf-life as your new bride I tried but Rachel's the perfect size!

Why don't we discuss this nice? Downsize your foolish pride Why fight? I gave you the first in line And I threw in a concubine All right -- for Rachel just serve me twice
Father! Father! Father! Father! Father it's to intense; I can't stand to hear it Father you knew the plan -- Why did you give Jacob me? In disguise so secretly? Is there no escape for me? It's my heart you're breakin', please no! Brushed aside -- Now I'm just doin' time I cry while Jacob diversifies Can't lie -- she's such a cutie pie Why try -- when Rachel's the perfect bride
Baby, baby, let's get the Shepherd Honey, honey, He's seeking you In Luke 15, ah, do ya think that we'd lie to you?

Sheep, He's coming now, Sheep, He's coming now He'll stop at nothing, stop at nothing, stop at.... Sheep, don't go!
I can't stand to lie; I got that from Eve I just had a bite; You gave her, Lord, to me I warned her at first; I more than explained That's more than some pretty fruit beside a snake But it's not easy to be deceived
I wish that I could hide, find a pile of leaves Finally we're wise, now my home I'll never see There may be a curse upon me like Eve But even she will have a righteous seed I may be just dirt, but once she conceives Even we may have our rights redeemed But it's not easy to be with Eve
Told us get away, away from here, but it's all alright We can all be grounded tonight I'm not angry or anything
I can't stand to fight; I'm not mad at Eve Men weren't meant for pride; it clouds the things they need I'm only a man, but still You said she'd Be pregnant with kids tonight and that's one way we Know there's a plan, so Lord we'll yet seek Looking for special things inside of Eve, in spite of me In spite of me, inside of Eve, in spite of me
I'm only a man in Genesis three I'm only a man lookin' for a seed I'm the only and there's only just Eve And it's not Eden It's not easy to leave here
Osbournes! Ha ha ha ha ha! Aie aie aie aie aie aie!
Ozzy puts bats down his throat Real different people live in his home "Cosby, he's not," you complain "He's burned out from drugs and forgets his own name!" Censors soon start bleeping, "What did he just say?"
I know enough to tell it's not a statement of faith I know enough to tell Ozzy may need saved Let's go
I've listened to Priest and I've listened to Cre I've watched Alice Cooper get saved out of booze One person's addictions can ruin his soul But Jesus saved Alice, so you never know Metal groups still screaming. Why are we so tame?
They're going off the trail, but thy ain't insane They're going off the trail, 'cause we're lazy brains
Why don't we think 'bout Romans 1 through 3 You gotta listen to God's Word Yeah, yeah
There was a cola war and Ozzy succumbed He'll sell Mr. Bubble when MTV's done Lately, I just am not scared The devilish Ozzy -- he just isn't there Maybe he's not really who and what you claimed
I know what Ozzy says but he may still change So don't underestimate God's amazing grace
I know a scene you ought to see I read it in Luke 16 So let me be I wanna set the scene A wealthy dude his name's unknown inside his sprawling home Stuffing his mouth with that life of ease While Lazarus is thin and weak, down the driveway on the street I don't think he will survive If he could get that nameless dude to feed him some leftover food He'd take the crumbs now as they'd fall, if they would fall Lifestyles of the rich and the nameless The solid gold bracelets don't make you blameless His money is not the problem He forgot Lazarus; Think Jesus saw them Did you know the rich and nameless dude eventually died And when he woke up things were on the fiery side With Lazarus across the chasm and Abraham talked to him He said, "You know it's really hot in here, my throat is cracked Send Lazarus to me, O Father Abraham He can always just run some water down to me" "I'd like to help you get a drink," Abraham said, "Honestly, I don't think that would suffice But he's already paid his dues Now he is somewhere else than you You think that's someone else's fault? Maybe not" Lifestyles of the rich and the nameless They're always so shameless God plays no favorites It's funny yet such a shocker How he demanded, "Bring me some water!" Lifestyles of the rich and the nameless The one with no status God made so famous It's funny to watch the process Because somebody prosperous He made anonymous Lifestyles of the rich and the nameless Designer clothes get spots and holes; Let's shop at Payless Lifestyles of the rich and nameless Lights out for the rich and nameless Find out what 2:16 James says
Look, if you have one God And one offer of eternity That exceeds everything you ve ever wanted With one opponent Would you ask for it? Or just let it slip? Yo
He parks his Chevy, needs sleep, heart is heavy He's thought about repentin already, sun is setting This church is not having service it looks almost dead as he Drops by but they keep on the electric What a ghost town, he knelt down, don t know how He opens his mouth just the word "Help" comes out He's broken down, yet his heart is open now The lost one's found, winds up homeward bound Heads back to his family Look who's home, daddy And, look, he's so happy, he chose his own path but he Won't give up babbling, he broke his old habits they Don't seem so bad to me, hope it's some fad Like new Coke or Shaun Cassidy Don't need no radical holy-rollin' masochist quotin' old passages That's what'll happen then, though, he'll go fanatic-y Better go batten the hatches and hope it don't last
Chorus: You'd better look yourself in the mirror You know that you wanted to get to Heaven when you're old Do you really want God or not? Is it yes or no? It's awful soon you say, but what is the right time? You'd better look yourself in the book since you own it In Romans, you never read it yet I know You only get one shot to God, here's your chance to go His offer to you may come once in your lifetime
His soul's been saved even though his whole family's gaping This world is blinded by Satan - they can't see As he moves forward - it's true George Orwell The moral of the story is truth's ignored, emotion's most important He'll only cause problems, the Holy Ghost got him He blows him all over, he knows the call's on him Goes to go show his bro's at his Alma Mater, "Welcome Back, Kotter" They know he's just one of their own, so don't bother Said, "Go home you barely know the Our Father" Well hold the phones cause he knows it holds water If those don't want him no more he'll go farther And he moved on and he read the Romans Road till he knows it cold and shows others He's on his soap box and his tone becomes bold, I suppose he's no martyr But the weak grows strong and the dumb becomes smarter
Chorus: You'd better look yourself in the mirror You know that you wanted to get to Heaven when you're old Do you really want God or not? Is it yes or no? It's awful soon you say, but what is the right time? You'd better look yourself in the book since you own it In Romans, you never read it yet I know You only get one shot to God, here s your chance to go His offer to you may come once in your lifetime
No more names, I ve been changed, but you call it strange To tell my mother 'n father truth off the true God's page I was saying if you ve been sinning pursue God's grace I've been shooed off and spit at like Rudolph the Reindeer But I kept shinin' a lamplight that I can't stifle You best believe somebody paid for my revival Call the name of Christ and go find a Bible Fact is I can't deny that I'm liable To die if my plans collide with life's iceberg Like the Titanic cause man needs God and you can't go buy a lifeboat And it's no movie; there's no surprise survivors This is high tide and you're tryin to row hard And you're hittin' deeper waters tryin' to flee piranhas I see Plus seaweed's got ya caught up between PBJ Otter and Bikini Bottom Babe it's not a submarine you're on and you must believe the Son He'll save you on the spot, He's comin ready or not I've got to be to the point just like a nail on the cross I formerly was lost, horrendously frail and fraught With questions I know how Mother Hubbard's dog felt- famine, drought Mom, I love you but this world has got to know I cannot grow cold when Hell is hot So please don't go into shock Let the family talk This way is their only opportunity to find God
Chorus: You'd better look yourself in the mirror You know that you wanted to get to Heaven when you're old Do you really want God or not? Is it yes or no? It's awful soon you say, but what is the right time? You'd better look yourself in the book since you own it In Romans, you never read it yet I know You only get one shot to God, here's your chance to go His offer to you may come once in your lifetime
Hey, there's three real famous guys in the Bible you know And the in-between guy's name is Meeeee-shach! Meshach, yeah, yeah
I read about them in Daniel one day Look in chapter 1:7 babe And then you can go get their names They got treated harsh by the king of the world (go get their names) When they didn't bow down to his gold statue (go get their names) They got in a crisis and just about perished from burnin' up Hey, king, your joke's not funny
Well-a Meshach was an Israelite faced with Mean King Neb'chadnezzar Meshach, baby -- ah, Meshach, baby Meshach, baby, Shadrach, Meshach, baby, Shadrach Ah, babe, Abednego's last
Simon says, kneel and pray fools You must do as the law says! Well, sittin' way back in the middle of a field There's a 90-foot statue; ya gotta pray to that Glitter on the statue didn't make the guys pray Even if they got scorched, they would trust in Yahweh
Well-a Meshach was an Israelite faced with Mean King Neb'chadnezzar Meshach, baby -- Meshach, baby Meshach -- Neb'chadnezzar's mad Meshach -- no scaredy cat
Huffin' and hissin' guess he wasn't bluffin' Nebuchadnezzar shoved 'em in one of the hottest ovens But hold on kiddies 'Cause everybody's movin' around and around and around and around Nebby got confused and said, "I thought we threw them in with Ropes tied 'em up -- now guys how'd they get out? There's four bodies movin' -- there's another dude in there and Come here, Meshach -- we want you to come back!"
Often a crisis looks as big as a whale and you're about to get nailed But God isn't far, He sees you now buddy So come on and pray -- you're cool, stop running
Well-a Meshach was an Israelite faced with Mean King Neb'chadnezzar Meshach, baby -- ah, Meshach, baby Meshach, baby, Shadrach, Meshach, baby, Shadrach Ah, babe, Abednego's last
Wait, wait, wait on the Lord, baby! Talk a little louder soldier Wait, wait, wait on the Lord, baby! I can't hear you! Wait, wait! On the Lord, baby! Wait, wait! On the Lord! Wait, wait! On the Lord, baby! Batman! Girls, what?!! Same tune... trust me Meshach, baby, Shadrach (Ah, baby, trustworthy chaps, yeah) Meshach, baby, Shadrach (Ah, baby, trustworthy chaps) (Hope you learned a lesson standin' in the oven with a-Meshach)
well sure my movie part it won't be played by Al Pacino Well, I hope you're not thinking I'm exactly Mr. Clean, though As a kid, was in sin, and no one knew it but me And my Olan Mills portrait was Dorian Gray Well, I know I'm not the one you thought you knew back in high school You'd never know, I'd never show, I just was a shy dude But let me set you straight, 'cause all of us need saved My sin was always here but that's erased
I don't want to praise my crimes Because I know that that would be impropriety I'm just a ball of slime So come and get forgiven just like He forgave me -- act now
Read God's truth in Romans and Psalms we learn that all people fall But what would you expect knowing David and Paul Have you met 'em? Them fellas know how we need grace They did bad deeds only God could erase 'Cause David had an affair and murdered, he still repented Turning Paul around it took devine intervention Acts 9 it will confirm he messed up every church He sinned till Jesus told him, "Hey, that hurts!"
I don't want to list my crimes Because I know the fragility of my peity And I recall this this line In chapter 1 verse 15 of First Timothy -- that's how
Don't count on me to live with no sin Don't count on me -- I'll do it again Don't count on me -- but the point you're missin' Don't count on me -- is I'm forgiven
We're all just no good and we're nailed without Christ Act fast and He won't get upset about nothin' You can stand around and scorn and scoff like Waldorf the Muppet But you can't blame anybody; ask Jimmy Buffet 'Cause if you take no blame you'll be really on the hook You're on the Ten Most Wanted in the devil's own book That's why Psalm number 14:3 is important Because it says we're all sinners addin' up more sins
I don't want to praise my crimes Because I know that that would be impropriety I'm just a ball of slime So come and get forgiven just like He forgave me -- act now (list my crimes again) fragility of my peity (list my crimes again) 15 of First Timothy -- that's how
Hey, don't write your song 'bout spit It's only in you head to fill your mouth -- well, look out, Mom The Bible says Christ healed a sightless man With only dirt and spit He twirled Himself -- He cured this way
He just takes some grime, lets it swirl in the spittle Rubs his eyes with it and then the man could see just fine 'Cause he left everything to Jesus Christ in John 9
Hey, you know this song is strange I know you're droolin' at the thought of more (thought of more) -- I know I am So get a Bible out and just brace yourself Because in chapter eight in the book of Mark (book of Mark) There's somewhere else
He just takes some blind little-known individual Rubs his eyes with His spit, then He says, "Are you alright?" Then the man said it looked like trees -- oh my! Hold tight! It just takes two times -- didn't have to double-dribble Touched the guy just once again and he could see just fine Yes and the medicine was real saliva, no lie
Hey, don't write this song off yet There's one more incident that we left (we left out) so look that up This dude was deaf (both mute and deaf) Christ put his fingers in (He put his fingers in) And don't worry 'bout the the spitting part (spitting part) I'm gonna say
He just takes saliva -- yeah, the Lord spit a little Then applied it to the deaf man's tongue and Jesus sighed And said "Ephphatha" and his ears were quite alright So just take some time in the Word, read a little Of the Bible -- Mark chapter seven's where you'll meet the guy Then read the rest of it you'll see the light
So lately you're wondering who really cares to take Christ's grace Well, Christ taught that seeds of new life get scattered on Earth's face If a grain of wheat shall fall, yeah, fall upon good soil In between the sand and stone, Good News makes that crop to grow
Yes, I've learned that Christ's word will grow wherever you will sow Wait a while, hold out hope -- it grows wherever you will sow
And maybe you're fried now, afraid you've wasted bags of grain You watered, you tried to do your darnedest, all in vain If as great a faith as Paul's can follow after Saul Then there's hope for someone out there who you think rejected you
Yes, I've learned that Christ's word will grow wherever you will sow There's all kinds of ground of though -- it grows wherever you will sow Some it may hit the rocks, some it may hit the road Some it may hit the thorns
I know now there's dry ground but lives you love might still grow strong Give their hearts some more time and state the truth for all mankind
Yes I've learned that Christ's word will grow wherever you will sow We all cry, we'll shout though -- as Psalm 126 will show We might return back cryin' -- God's word is never useless though Read Isaiah 55 -- by verse 11 you will know It grows wherever you will sow
I solve math problems at my senior high We got a hundred things we gotta read and write There aint no gangs like Grease and no cool cars Its hard to be real wild, but we can teach you the art Its in the Word
They think our Lord is just a ball and chain Why dont they understand its just their pride and shame They live for science, only He is real Just got to find right now the God that Jesus revealed Jesus the Word
Jesus the Word, Hes the Word, as youve heard Weve got proof, its got Spirit He is the life, Hes the Way, Hes the Logos Now these things we base on experience
He came a-blessin and He chose to stay Condemned at Calvary, rose on that blessed third day There is a choice that we can make if were smart We start believing now and He can redo our hearts Receive the Word
Jesus the Word, yes the Word, as youve heard Its not rules, its not teasing Jesus the Christ is the face of the most high Now this is the day to receive Him
They say it mocks evolution Thats just a subtle envious excuse What are we doin here?
We make confession and he shows us the way No technicalities, no long-term debts to pay There is a plan so we get saved from above Lets start to read it now its in Ephesians, you all Faith is the Word
Faith is a word thats conferred undeserving Its not you, its not me then Grace is divine, its through faith, theres no boastin Now read in 2:8 in Ephesians
So search the Word, yes the Word, that youve heard Its got truth, its Gods teaching This is the time, its the place, its the moment Now Jesus is waiting, receive Him
Jesus the Word Yes the Word (x 9)
Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God
