Leave it Behind

Leave it Behind

Hey did you see the new show on tv

The one whose values and yours disagree

No I’ve left that flat-tube behind

I discovered Jesus and He’s on my mind

I’d rather spend an evening praying for that show’s producer and stars

Then watch it and end up with mortal sin scars

Hey did you go to the big game last night 

The halftime show would have given the Priests a fright 

No I did not 

I’ve discovered Jesus and He’s what I want 

I’d rather teach kids to play sports and dance with God in their hearts 

Not to gain a spot up on the social media charts

Hey did you hear that new song

The one whose lyrics are wildly wrong

No and thankfully I missed out 

Music should amuse not make you want to shudder about

I’d rather be hearing a beautiful melody 

A song that make your heart feel warm and happy 

Now my turn to ask

Please I’m only after one fact 

Did you happen to read the Bible today

The Gospel from Luke it was a doozy 

It’s about Jesus Who came to heal sinners 

So that they could become eternal big winners

Well that’s me and that’s why I have left those things behind 

Because I have Jesus my Savior who is the Greatest Find

Amen
