Look Yourself

Look, if you have one God

And one offer of eternity

That exceeds everything you ve ever wanted

With one opponent

Would you ask for it?

Or just let it slip? Yo

He parks his Chevy, needs sleep, heart is heavy

He s thought about repentin already, sun is setting

This church is not having service it looks almost dead as he

Drops by but they keep on the electric

What a ghost town, he knelt down, don t know how

He opens his mouth just the word "Help" comes out

He s broken down, yet his heart is open now

The lost one s found, winds up homeward bound

Heads back to his family Look who s home, daddy

And, look, he s so happy, he chose his own path but he

Won t give up babbling, he broke his old habits they

Don t seem so bad to me, hope it s some fad

Like new Coke or Shaun Cassidy

Don t need no radical holy-rollin masochist quotin old passages

That s what ll happen then, though, he ll go fanatic-y

Better go batten the hatches and hope it don t last

Chorus:

You'd better look yourself in the mirror

You know that you wanted to get to Heaven when you're old

Do 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 it

In Romans, you never read it yet I know

You only get one shot to God, here s your chance to know

His offer to you may come once in your lifetime

His soul s been saved even though his whole family s gaping

This world is blinded by Satan they can t see

As he moves forward it s true George Orwell

The moral of the story is truth s ignored, emotion s most important

He ll only cause problems, the Holy Ghost got him

He blows him all over, he knows the call s on him

Goes to go show his bros at his Alma Mater, "Welcome Back, Kotter"

They know he s just one of their own, so don t bother

Said, "Go home you barely know the Our Father"

Well hold the phones cause he knows it holds water

If those don t want him no more he ll go farther

And he moved on and he read the Romans Road till he knows it cold and shows others

He s on his soap box and his tone becomes bold, I suppose he s no martyr

But the weak grows strong and the dumb becomes smarter

Chorus:

You'd better look yourself in the mirror

You know that you wanted to get to Heaven when you're old

Do 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 it

In Romans, you never read it yet I know

You only get one shot to God, here s your chance to know

His offer to you may come once in your lifetime

No more names, I ve been changed, but you call it strange

To tell my mother n father truth off the true God's page

I was saying if you ve been sinning pursue God s grace

I ve been shooed off and spit at like Rudolph the Reindeer

But I kept shinin a lamplight that I can t stifle

You best believe somebody paid for my revival

Call the name of Christ and go find a Bible

Fact is I can t deny that I m liable

To die if my plans collide with life s iceberg

Like the Titanic cause man needs God and you can t go buy a lifeboat

And it s no movie; there s no surprise survivors

This is high tide and you re tryin to row hard

And you re hittin deeper waters tryin to flee piranhas I see

Plus seaweed s got ya caught up between PBJ Otter and Bikini Bottom

Babe it s not a submarine you re on and you must believe the Son

He ll save you on the spot, He s comin ready or not

I ve got to be to the point just like a nail on the cross

I formerly was lost, horrendously frail and fraught

With questions I know how Mother Hubbard s dog felt famine, drought

Mom, I love you but this world has got to know

I cannot grow cold when Hell is hot

So please don t go into shock

Let the family talk

This way is their only opportunity to find God

Chorus:

You'd better look yourself in the mirror

You know that you wanted to get to Heaven when you're old

Do 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 it

In Romans, you never read it yet I know

You only get one shot to God, here s your chance to know

His offer to you may come once in your lifetime

You can do anything if He gets inside you, man
