Screen Door on a Submarine – Rich Mullins      (A’Capella)

Chorus:
  A7
It’s about as useless as a screen door on a submarine

Faith without works baby,   It just ain’t happenin’
D
One is your left hand, one is your right
            A7
It’ll take two strong arms to hold on tight
            E                       D
Some folks cut off their nose just to spite their face
              A                          E
I think you need some works to show for your alleged faith.

Verse 1:
                A7
Well there’s a dif-ference you know

‘tween having faith and playing make believe

One will make you grow, the other one just make you sleep
 D
Talk about it
                                       G#  A
But I really think you oughtta take a leap  off of the ship
             A9
Before you claim to walk on water
 E                             D       G/D    D
Faith without works is like a song you can’t sing
    A                         E              A
It’s about as useless as a screen door on a sub-marine

Verse 2:
Faith comes from God and every word that He breathes
He lets you take it to your heart
So you can give it hands and feet
It’s gotta be active if it’s gonna be alive
You gotta put it into practice
Otherwise…

Repeat Chorus:
It’s about as useless as a screen door on a submarine
Faith without works baby,   It just ain’t happenin’
One is your right hand, one is your left
It’s your light, your guide, your life and your breath
Faith without works, like a song you can’t sing
It’s about as useless as a screen door on a submarine
Faith without works, like a song you can’t sing
It’s about as useless as a screen door on a submarine
