TWO FOR TUESDAY

Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world. For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.

What It’s Like
Everlast
We’ve all seen the man
At the liquor store
Beggin’ for your change
The hair on his face is dirty
Dreadlocked
And full of mange
He ask the man
For what he could spare
With shame in his eyes
Get a job you f#$%in’ slob’s
All he replied

God forbid you ever had to walk
A mile in his shoes
‘Cause then you really might know
What it’s like to sing the blues
Then you really might know
What it’s like
What it’s like
Then you really might know
What it’s like
What it’s like
Then you really might know
What it’s like
What it’s like
Then you really might know
What it’s like

Mary got pregnant
By a kid named Tom
Who said he was in love
He said
Don’t worry about a thing baby doll
I’m the man
You’ve been dreamin’ of
But three months later
He said he won’t date her
Or return her call
And sweared God d@#$
If I find that man
I’m cuttin’ off his balls
And then she heads for the clinic
And she gets some static
Walkin’ through the doors
They call her a killer
And they call her a sinner
And they call her a whore

God forbid you ever had to walk
A mile in her shoes
‘Cause then you really might know
What it’s like to have to choose
Then you really might know
What it’s like
What it’s like
Then you really might know
What it’s like
What it’s like
Then you really might know
What it’s like
What it’s like
Then you really might know
What it’s like

I’ve seen a rich man beg
I’ve seen a good man sin
I’ve seen a tough man cry
I’ve seen a loser win
And a sad man grin
I’ve hard an honest man lie
I’ve seen the good side of bad
And the down side of up
And everything between
I licked the silver spoon
Drank from the golden cup
Smoked the finest green
I stroked the baddest dimes
At least a couple of times
Before I broke her heart
You know where it ends
Yo
It usually depends
On where you start

I knew this kid named Max
He used to get fat stacks
Out on the corner with drugs
He liked to hang out
Late at night
Liked to get s#$%-faced
And keep pace with thugs
Until late one night
There was a big gun fight
Max lost his head
He pulled out his chrome .45
Talked some s@#$
And wound up dead
Now his wife and his kids are caught
In the midst of all of his pain
You know it crumbles that way
At least that’s what they say
When you play the game

God forbid you ever had to wake up
To hear the news
‘Cause then you really might know
What it’s like to have to lose
Then you really might know
What it’s like
What it’s like
Then you really might know
What it’s like
What it’s like
Then you really might know
What it’s like
What it’s like
Then you really might know
What it’s like

Saving Grace
Everlast
One time
Around the block
Two times
Around the clock
Three times
Don’t cross
The little lady
Lady

So pretty
And oh so bold
Got a heart full of gold
On a lonely road
She said
I don’t even think
That God can save me
Save me

Am I
Gainin’ ground
Am I
Losin’ face
Have I lost and found
My saving grace
Thankful for the gift
My angels gave me

Born alone
We die alone
‘N’ I’m just sittin’ here
By the phone
Waitin’ for the Lord
To send my callin’

Street-wise
From the boulevard
Jesus only knows
That she tries too hard
She’s only tryin’ to keep
The sky from fallin’

Any man
Who says it’s Heaven and Hell
Prob’ly got
Somethin’ useless to sell
You ask me if I’m saved
But what’s it to ya

Blow a quarter
Cop another eight
You’re runnin’ out of high
You’re losin’ your faith
Throw your hands up and scream
Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Amen

One time
Around the sun
Another year older
And my work ain’t done
It’s time for me to write
The final chapter
Chapter

Deal the cards
And roll the dice
Sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll
Are my only vice
Tryin’ to figure out
Just what’s here after
Here after

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Amen
