Simple Truth


Written on March 22, 2000. This was my first attempt to write a song. At the crux of it is the fact that people believe crazy things sometimes with little or no evidence, but still fail to believe in Jesus Christ and His love for them. It was intended to be funny, yet piercing.


The things we read and then believe
Sometimes seem so crazy
Maybe we�re just gullible
Or are our minds just hazy?
You believe the tabloids
Whose stories are aloof
But when it�s said that Jesus lives
You cry out, "Where�s the proof?"

Chorus A:
Why won�t you believe the simple truth:
Jesus Christ has died for you
He rose again the third day
To wash all your sins away

The headlines all scream out to us
Man bench-presses three-ton bus
A meteor took out the sun
Science clones Atilla the Hun
Bigfoot marries Elvis
They have their honeymoon and then
They step into a UFO
And are never seen again
(Exclusive photos inside!)

Chorus A / Musical bridge

Chorus B:
My friend, there is a simple truth:
Jesus Christ has died for you
He rose again the third day
To wash all your sins away


Back to Songs.
