Gospel Maniac

Let's be honest and tell the truth

I'm far from perfect, and so are you

A couple skeletons under the bed

The carnal nature not always dead

But that doesn't mean you have to give up and die

It's time to take care of business

Time to stand up and fight

And when the world, the flesh and the devil attack

You say "back off, Jack -- I'm a Gospel Maniac!"

Grace under pressure; pressure under grace

With good intent they shove the Word in your face

Don't get excited; cool your jets

And don't forget your Christian etiquette

But don't ever think you're worse than the rest

You're not competing in a holiness contest

And when you feel your armor starting to crack

Pick up the slack -- you're a Gospel Maniac

You fight -- to understand

You fight -- to gain command

You fight -- with bloodied hands

You fight -- but you don't always make it

You're loved by the King, and the King is coming back

So get up and shout -- you're a Gospel Maniac

Let's be honest and tell the truth

We're far from perfect -- so sad but true

A couple skeletons under the bed

The carnal nature not always dead

But that doesn't mean you have to die in your sin

You have need of repentance -- let the Spirit come in

The Father adores you; He won't turn His back

The Son is your Brother -- you're a Gospel Maniac
