All There Is

When I look around
And I see the sights and sounds
The people in the pews
Seem to be so glad
But it seems so sad
How many hear the news?

So very well they know
Jesus really loves us so
Is that all there is?
Say only a prayer
Heaven, you’ll be there
What is there to miss?

Chorus:
God said be perfect, be holy too
Give you the power, show you what to do
To let Him work, that’s what he needs
So our every hour, we do his deeds

Bridge:
Didn’t Jesus say something about
Having faith in him and living it out?
To come and pray
To worship in song
On Sundays tides us over
But isn’t it really wrong
When God says “give it over”
To keep on going our own way
And say:
I can’t help it, my old me
Makes me sin so constantly

God said be perfect, be holy too
Give you the power, show you what to do
To let Him work, that’s what he needs
So our every hour, we do his deeds

This might be news to you
Are you sitting in the pew
In the same routine?
Here is the good news
His strength you can use
Your life can be clean

God said be perfect, be holy too
Give you the power, show you what to do
To let Him work, that’s what he needs
So our every hour, we do his deeds

You're published now!! =P

I think I actually like this one better than the other one, but I haven't figured out why yet.

It could be that this one isn't quite so attacking....or that the other one wasn't quite finished (it really did need another verse).
