Screen Door

Screen Door

Matthew 7:15-20, Hebrews 6:9-10, James 2:14-26

It's about as useless as
A screen door on a submarine
Faith without works baby
It just ain't happenin'
One is your left hand
One is your right
It'll take two strong arms
To hold on tight
Some folks cut off their nose
Just to spite their face
I think you need some works to show
For your alleged faith
Well there's a difference you know
Between having faith
And playing make believe
One will make you grow
The other one just make you sleep
Talk about it (yeah)
But I really think you oughtta
Take a leap off of the ship
Before you claim to walk on water
Faith without works
Is like a song you can't sing (sing)
It's about as useless as
A screen door on a submarine
Faith comes from God
Every word that he breathes
He lets you take it to your heart
So you can give it hands and feet
It's gotta be active
It's gotta be alive
You've gotta put into practice
Otherwise,
It's about as useless as
A screen door on a submarine
Faith without works baby
It just ain't happenin'
One is your right hand
One is your left
it's your light, your guide, your life and your breath
Faith without works
Is like a song you can't sing
It's about as useless as
A screen door on a submarine
Faith without works
Is like a song you can't sing
It's about as useless as
A screen door on a submarine.
