ApologetiX - Look Yourself Lyrics
Look, if you have one shotOne opportunityThat exceeds everything you've ever wantedOne momentWould you capture itOr just let it slip? YoHis palms are sweaty, needs sleep, heart is heavyTheres vomit on the sweater alreadyThis church is not having service it looks almost dead as heDrops by but they keep on the electricWhat a ghost town, he knelt down, don't know howHe opens his mouth just the word "help" comes outHe's broken down, yet his heart is open nowThe lost one's found, winds up homeward boundHeads back to his family -- Look who's home, daddyAnd, look, he's so happy, he chose his own path but heWon't give up babbling, he broke his old habits theyDon't seen so bad to me, hope it's some fadLike New Coke or Shaun CassidyDon't need no radical holy-rollin' masochist quotin' old passagesThat's what'll happen then, though, he'll go fanatic-yBetter go batten the hatches and hope it don't lastYou'd better look yourself in the mirrorYou know that you wanted to get to Heaven when you're oldDo 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 itIn Romans, you never read it yet I knowYou only get one shot to God, here's your chance to goHis offer to you may come once in your lifetimeHis soul's been saved even though his whole family's gapingThis world is blinded by Satan -- they can't seeAs he moves forward -- it's true George OrwellThe moral of the story is truth's ignored, emotion's most importantHe'll only cause problems, the Holy Ghost got himHe blows him all over, he knows the call's on himGoes to show his bros at his Alma Mater, "Welcome Back, Kotter"They know he's just one of their own, so don't botherSaid, "Go home you barely know the Our Father"Well hold the phones cause he knows it holds waterIf those don't want him no more he'll go fartherAnd he moved on and he read the Romans Road till he knows it cold and shows othersHe's on his soap box and his tone becomes bold, I suppose he's no martyrBut the weak grows strong and the dumb becomes smarterYou'd better look yourself in the mirrorYou know that you wanted to get to Heaven when you're oldDo 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 itIn Romans, you never read it yet I knowYou only get one shot to God, here's your chance to goHis offer to you may come once in your lifetimeNo more names, I've been changed, but you call it strangeTo tell my mother 'n father truth off the true God's pageI was saying if you've been sinning pursue God's graceI've been shooed off and spit at like Rudolph the ReindeerBut I kept shinin' a lamplight that I can't stifleYou best believe somebody paid for my revivalCall the name of Christ and go find a BibleFact is I can't deny that I'm liableTo die if my plans collide with life's icebergLike the Titanic 'cause man needs God and you can't go buy a lifeboatAnd it's no movie; there's no surprise survivorsThis is high tide and you're tryin' to row hardAnd you're hittin' deeper waters tryin' to flee piranhas I seePlus seaweed's got ya caught up between PBJ Otter and Bikini BottomBabe it's not a submarine you're on and you must believe the SonHe'll save you on the spot, He's comin' ready or notI've got to be to the point just like a nail on the crossI formerly was lost, horrendously frail and fraughtWith questions I know how Mother Hubbard's dog felt -- famine, droughtMom, I love you but this world has got to knowI cannot grow cold when Hell is hotSo please don't go into shockLet the family talkThis way is their only oppurtunity to find GodYou'd better look yourself in the mirrorYou know that you wanted to get to Heaven when you're oldDo 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 itIn Romans, you never read it yet I knowYou only get one shot to God, here's your chance to goHis offer to you may come once in your lifetimeYou can do anything if He gets inside you, man
