Gifts From God
Don't Tell Me
Don't tell me that I'm going
into the Fire
just because I listen to rap music,
just because I go to the club ---
Don't tell me that I'm going
into the Pit
just for drinking wine,
just for masturbating ---
Don't you tell me that I'm going
into the Lake
just for wearing make-up,
wearing my jewelry ---
Don't you dare tell me that I'm going
into the Furnace
just for doing it,
just for wearing a tattoo ---
And don't you ever tell me that I'm going
into the Inferno
just for watching Harry Potter,
just for watching R-rated movies ---
Just for working on the Sabbath,
just for not going to church even ---
Don't you dare tell me that I'm going
into the Fire
just because I don't read the Bible often,
or listen to gospel music ---
And please don't tell me that I'm going
into the Pit
just for not wanting to save the world,
just for not wanting to solve every person's
problem,
just for not wanting to lavish a person with
gifts all the time!
Now we all are sinners, aren't we ---
Don't we all fall short of glory?
into the Fire
just because I listen to rap music,
just because I go to the club ---
Don't tell me that I'm going
into the Pit
just for drinking wine,
just for masturbating ---
Don't you tell me that I'm going
into the Lake
just for wearing make-up,
wearing my jewelry ---
Don't you dare tell me that I'm going
into the Furnace
just for doing it,
just for wearing a tattoo ---
And don't you ever tell me that I'm going
into the Inferno
just for watching Harry Potter,
just for watching R-rated movies ---
Just for working on the Sabbath,
just for not going to church even ---
Don't you dare tell me that I'm going
into the Fire
just because I don't read the Bible often,
or listen to gospel music ---
And please don't tell me that I'm going
into the Pit
just for not wanting to save the world,
just for not wanting to solve every person's
problem,
just for not wanting to lavish a person with
gifts all the time!
Now we all are sinners, aren't we ---
Don't we all fall short of glory?
