Songs

I heard two songs today both of which I've listened to about a hundred times each before but you know how when you haven't heard a song in a while and then it comes on you're reminded of how good it is.....that's what it was like for me today. The first song is called "If I was Jesus" by Toby Keith. It's fun to listen to and has some good lyrics in it. The second is a less common song called "The Lumber Song" by Eli. While yes, it is about building, it may not be in the way you think about building. Anyways, I decided I'll post the lyrics to each song just for the fun of it. Check 'em out !

Song #1: If I Was Jesus

Verse 1

If I Was Jesus, I'd have some real long hair

A robe and some sandals, is exactly what I'd wear

I'd be the guy at the party, turnin' water to wine

Yeah me and my disciples, we'd have a real good time.

Chorus:

Ooh and I'd lay my life down for you

And I show you who's the boss

I'd forgive you and adore you

While I was hangin' on your cross

Verse 2

If I Was Jesus.

I'd have some friends that were poor

I'd run around with the wrong crowd,

man I'd never be bored

Then I'd heal me a blind man,

get myself crucified

By politicians and preachers,

who got somethin' to hide.

Verse 3

If I Was Jesus,

I'd come back from the dead

And I'd walk on some water,

just to mess with your head

I know your dark little secrets,

I'd look you right in the face

And I'd tell you I love you,

with Amazing Grace

If I Was Jesus.

The Lumber Song

Verse 1

Said a friend to a friend one day,Was a man who passed away

St. Peter met him at the gate

Pete said: "Walk with me if you will, I'll take you to the house you built"

Man said: "I can't wait!"Passed a mansion made of stone

But with each new house he's shown. They get smaller by degrees

Stopped in front of a two room shack

Pete said hope you're happy with that

Man said: "How can this be?"Pete said:

Chorus:

That's all the lumber--that's all the lumber

that's all the lumber you sent

Looks like the builder--man he's got your number

That's all the lumber you sent.

Verse 2

Man didn't know what to say, poor guy was blown away

"you mean this is what I deserve?"Pete said: "I'm afraid it's so

It's too late but now you know

Shoulda done better work"

You mean not lie and cheat and helpin' old ladies across the street?

Pete says: Well, that's a start

Remember that man back in that great big house?

He found out early what it's all about

Built that place with his heart--as for you (chorus)

Bridge:

What if that man was me

And I failed that miserably

You're showin' me things I don't wanna see.

Verse 3

St. Peter if you can, Send me back to earth again

Is that somethin' you can do?Pete said: It ain't up to me

If it was I'd like to see, How you plan to improve

I'd love God and fellow man

Take a wife and make a stand, Be the givinest guy I can be

And when I get back to this neighborhood

There'd be a big gigantic pile of wood

And I'd say: What's this I see?--You'd tell me

Chorus

That's all the lumber--that's all the lumber

that's all the lumber you sent

Looks like the builder--man he's got your number

That's all the lumber you sent.
