about

The first assignment this round comes from Jerry:
"Write a musical rebuttal to the Nashville Statement. Or agree with it, if you’re a horrible person. Kidding. Mostly."

lyrics

Get up off your heels
I think you know the deal
You'd better learn to love instead of fighting with fear

I know I could be wrong
But I will sing this song
And I will say the things you don't want to hear

You don't speak for me
And you don't speak for Jesus
And I don't think you see them
The way I think He sees us
But if you come around, we won't keep you down
We will welcome you back home

This is your last gasp
Do I have to ask
Do you believe that things were better in the past

And I may not understand
The life that God has planned
But everyone deserves a love that has a chance to last

You don't speak for me
And you don't speak for Jesus
And I don't think you see them
The way I think He sees us
But if you come around, we won't keep you down
We will welcome you back home

You don't make the rules
But you act like like cowards
I want to see your history
I want to see your browsers

You don't speak for me
And you don't speak for Jesus
And I don't think you see them
The way I think He sees us

You don't speak for me
And you don't speak for Jesus
And I don't think you see them
The way I think He sees us
But if you come around, we won't keep you down
We will welcome you back home
