PRESSURE

[verseode]

                   

                Do you feel the pressure
                To be a pharisee
                To tick the list of laws each day
                A working Christian be
                Being a slave to doing right
                An endless list of rules
                To earn a place in heavens queue
                With all the other mules.

                You cannot change the way God feels
                He loves us all the same
                We have nothing left to prove
                It really is a shame
                That we don't grasp His endless grace
                A gift that's free to all
                That Jesus perished to provide
                If we would heed His call.

                So lay down all your clever plans
                Your daily shopping list
                Several hours of constant prayer
                And others that I've missed
                Stand before The Lord your God
                Do just what He asks
                Be the person that you are
                Stripped of all your masks.
