Now Iisten ...
I'm not a zombie and I ain't Clark Kent
I can barely make it through -- I'm weak
Every night I used to take on the world
But not now - I had to break that streak
I know the world enslaved me every day
God said, let Me break off those shameful shackles
I needed His help to get away
But lookee here today
This is what I say
Don't need bad things for a good time
Now, man, I resist
Ain't lookin' to bad things for a good time
'Cause the Lord is better than this
Instead of spendin' my money on women and wine
A Bible study's where I spent last night
I read 'bout Solomon and just like him
I lived my life for fun and every passing whim
But all the worst things enslaved me every day
Glad to get a break from those shameful shackles
I needed Jesus to show the Way
But lookee here today
This is what I say
Don't need bad things for a good time
Now when I resist
I'm lookin' to God's things for a good time
And they don't get better than His
You see, I ...
I praise the Lord for callin' us
And for takin' us back when we stray
He wanted a good life for us in Christ
Lord, thank goodness for grace, yeah! Hallelujah!
LEAD
Don't need bad things for a good time
How can I resist?
Hey, look in Philippians -- 4:8, you'll find
There's a long incredible list
Don't need bad things for a good time
How can I resist?
Hey, look in Colossians for some good lines
In 3:1 through 10 about this
Colossians 3:2
Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
