On Repeat

We love you cuz You first loved us. We hunger and thirst for Your touch. We come from dust but it's You we trust. You died the just for the unjust, but we threw You under the bus. Traded love for lust. Lady Justice has been corrupted. Traded truth for a fake gold nugget. If truth be told, we tried to fill that hole with pills and thrills and rock n roll. We're losing hold. The fruit we stole we traded in for fool's gold. Filthy and jaded, guilty and naked. God we can't make it on our own. My faith was shaken. I felt forsaken. I was a long, long ways from home. You're the Potter and we are the clay. Heavenly Father, you're acquainted with all of our ways. You saved my soul. Broke my chains on the rock. Hope my name's on the roll. You paid my toll. Said to ask and knock, seek and I'd find that pot of gold. If truth be told... It ain't no joke. I'd given up hope, then I gave You full control. You made me whole. Saw me as a diamond in the rough when I was just a lump of coal. If truth be told, we tried to fill that hole with pills and thrills and rock n roll. We're losin' hope. The fruit we stole we traded in for fool's gold. So make me bold. Sin has taken it's toll. But He claimed victory on the rock when they rolled away the stone. Yeah, my feet are planted on the rock and my name is written on the roll. So don't lose hope. He threw me a rope. Ain't no joke. It's a slippery slope. Don't sell your soul... for fool's gold. For fool's gold.

Fool's Gold

It all starts with Halloween
Then comes Thanksgiving
Followed by manger scenes
Pretty soon, it's New Year's Eve

The holidays are nearly here
Time for grace n good cheer
Time to take out decorations
And make way for a brand new year

This year was great in some ways
In some ways it was just insane
Pretty sure who won the debate
Cuz we the people -- jumped on the Trump train

Yeah, this much I do know
The swamp needed to be drained
But all the ribbons and bows
Won't relieve the stress n strain

It doesn't matter if you believe
That God does not exist
Ever since Adam and Eve
We're all on -- God's naughty list

na na na na na - God's naughty list

But this much I do know
God's not finished with us yet
It's not His will that we should go
Without knowing who paid our debt

So before taking those
Decorations off the shelf
Remember it ain't the clothes
The reindeer, gifts or elves

That make the holidays great
It's that babe layin' in a manger
Who paid our debt years later
That's who we celebrate

It doesn't matter if you believe
That God does not exist
Ever since Adam and Eve
We're all on -- God's naughty list

But God sent His only son you know
He gave heaven's greatest gift
So we could trade our rags for a robe
Cuz we're all on -- God's naughty list

na na na na na - God's naughty list
na na na na na

That's why He came down
From his heavenly throne
Died n rose n now wears a crown
To redeem us as His own

God sent His only son you know
He gave heaven's greatest gift
So we could trade our rags for a robe
Cuz we're all on -- God's naughty list

It doesn't matter if you believe
That God does not exist
Ever since Adam and Eve
We're all on -- God's naughty list

Yeah, we're all on -- God's naughty list
We're all on -- God's naughty list
-- God's naughty list
na na na na na - God's naughty list
God's naughty list

God's Naughty List

Country gospel about a guy who was goin' down with the ship...

Wanna write a song that makes you cry
Makes you grow wings, take off and fly
Feel things you haven't felt in a while
Makes you laugh, makes you smile

Wanna write a song that makes ya dig deep
Makes you strong when you're feelin' weak
That makes you weep, or makes you pray
That makes you take, a leap of faith

Want to write a song that makes you  think
About a love gone wrong or on the brink
A song that makes you take a chance
Makes you wanna sing along and dance.

Want to write a song that changes lives
Makes you take and hold your baby tight
That makes you go against the grain
Feeds your soul and fans the flame

But a song can only do so much
Sometimes you just need a human touch
If you're in touch with how you feel
A song can help you mend and heal

Want to write a song that makes you  think
About a love gone wrong or on the brink
A song that makes you take a chance
Makes you wanna sing along and dance.

Want to write a song that changes lives
Makes you take and hold your baby tight
That makes you go against the grain
Feeds your soul and fans the flame

[Outro]
But a song can only do so much
Sometimes you just need a human touch
If you're in touch with how you feel
A song can help you mend and heal

Music can only do so much
But don't use it as a crutch
It can help you learn to change
If you're ready to turn the page
