From the recording Remind Me To Not Be Afraid
Lyrics
OBVIOUS
Galatians 5:19, 20 and 22
It is obvious what kind of life develops out of trying to get your own way all the time
It is obvious what kind of life develops out of trying to get your own way all the time
Repetitive, loveless, cheap sex, frenzied and joyless grabs for happiness
Trinket gods, magic show religions, cut-throat competition, paranoid loneliness
It is obvious what kind of life develops out of trying to get your own way all the time
It is obvious what kind of life develops out of trying to get your own way all the time
Divided homes and divided lives, small minded and lopsided pursuits
All-consuming yet never satisfied wants
The vicious habit of depersonalizing everyone into a rival
Ugly parodies of community, I could go on
It is obvious what kind of life develops out of trying to get your own way all the time
It is obvious what kind of life develops out of trying to get your own way all the time
But what happens when we live God’s way?
He brings gifts into our lives much the same way
That fruit appears in an orchard
Affection for others, excitement for life, serenity
