Parody of "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette
(Ecclesiastes 7:5; Romans 1:18-21, 10:9-13; Matthew 10:28, 25:31-46; Luke 12:4-5; Revelation 20:10-15)
I want you to know that I have prayed for you
I wish nothing but the best for your soul
I know you're worried prob'ly -- you'll get converted like me
When it comes down to it there's a fear there
Cause you say, "Hell -- it can't be"
You should play poker, baby
You sure do make a really excellent bluffer
Those who call on His name will be saved by His grace
Cause He paid quite enough for you when, you know, He died
And every time you speak His name it's in vain, what a shame
Cause His arms are still open wide -- open wide -- while you're still alive
But I'm here -- to remind you of the mess you're in if you turn away
It's not fair -- to deny Him
And the cross and just think you'll get away
You, you, you -- gotta go
You say there's no Hell -- you're not evil
I'm not nice to tell you that you could go
If you forget about me -- you can do as you please
I ain't above you -- I'm a miserable sinner
But there's a path we must take
Now if we wanna be saved
And if you think it's a joke -- then you'll suffer
Those who call on His name will be saved by His grace
Cause He paid quite enough for you when, you know, He died
And every time you speak His name it's in vain, what a shame
Cause His arms are still open wide -- open wide -- while you're still alive
But I'm here -- to remind you of the mess you're in if you turn away
It's not fair -- to deny Him
And the cross and just think you'll get away
You, you, you -- gotta go
There's no one who can say that He sent them away
Cause an offer was made to you and you closed your eyes -- and you knew it
And everyone says that's not fair, that's someone else's fault
That's not appealing -- I hurt your feelings
But I'm here -- to remind you of the mess you're in if you turn away
It's not fair -- to deny Him
And the cross and just think you'll get away
You, you, you -- gotta go
I-I'm here -- to remind you of the mess you're in if you turn away
It's not fair -- to deny Him
And the cross and just think you'll get away
You, you, you -- gotta go
Ecclesiastes 7:5
It is better to heed a wise man's rebuke than to listen to the song of fools.
