Its time for us to swim against the flow/even though it don't seem like the way
to go/all this stuff just makes you blue/never let your possessions start to
possess you/do ya know about the man called the rich young ruler/he wanted to be
good, he wanted to be cooler/all this stuff and he just couldn't let it go/then
he walked away sad with his stuff in tow/ the lord said follow me and he didn't
listen/he was just fakin/he was just dissin/ he said Im your biggest
decision/open up your heart let me make an incision/I had shackles on my hands
and stocks on my feet/i was born again but still living in defeat/woe is me Im
an unclean man/I need a touch from the masters hand/put coal to my mouth and
burn this flesh/cuz i need to be rescued from this body of death/its cold and
its dark and it ain't so cool/I'm in a dirty pool and I'm such a fool/give me
the living water to quench my thirst/I wanna put God first instead of living a
curse/I follow Jesus but I'm still not free/I got the name Christian but it
ain't reality/ I try and I try but I just can't
Hook: I really need a heart transplant
I stood at the altar
of foreign gods/I said Lord I love you but we are at odds/I walked in the
darkness and called it the light/I called him my friend but somethin' just isn't
right/when you live by the flesh you will die/when you say I'm ok you are just
telling a lie/His word won't shine in your heart/because God don't want no
part/He told me what I really lack/He said My son you are on the verge of a
heart attack/it is for freedom that I set you free/and this grace is available
if you just believe/you are focused on the thing called sin/when I knock on your door you wont let me in/you have eyes but you just can't see/you live in America but still in captivity/slave to sin/slave to Satan/Thats why you keep hatin', and keep debatin'/You should never go by her
house/she will tell you she has no spouse/don't let her get you with her hook/i
tell ya right now that girl's a crook/dont let her sink her claws into you/one minute with her and your life is through/her house is a stairway to the grave/run
like forest gump/don't try to be brave!
HOOK:
(I try to be patient and wait/but then I end up doing what I
hate/I try to find the escape hatch/but then I struggle to find the latch/I
train to get it right some of me/but then satan dangles turkish delight right in
front of me/I wade through the storm of hip hop/I never want to be at the top of
the pop/I just want to reel in a big fish/heroically rescue the sons of kish/I
don't need a hot girl in a little bikini/I'm a secret agent without the
martini/I sold mustangs and I sold camaros/I sold little trinkets and I sold
sparrows/but then Jesus came in and turned over the table/now I'm rockin' the
casbah and don't need no label/My managers name is yahwah/I only speak the words
that he would say/I read the Bible because im a rebel/God keeps me going
straight and on ground level/its going to be a battle to the death/its going to
be tragic like Macbeth/Jesus paid a debt that wasn't his, cuz we owed a debt that was serious biz/there was no way we could ever pay it/so Jesus came in to slay it.)
