1st Things First

from Brace Yourself (2012) by john wesley

lyrics

I’m way sick of waiting,
I’m ready to go, feel like I’m wasting away deteriorating
I can’t wait ‘til the day when my fate and I are face to face
“Let’s put a smile on that face”
let’s all be brainwashed,
Till pain rains down like raindrops
And ALL that remains of us is blood-stained cloth
With what you’re portraying you must be praying to an insane god
You Christians think you’re radical?
Real Christianity would make your church and the services look like magic shows
Reluctantly giving ten percent of your income
I’m talking gladly giving everything you have and then some
Be God is love– don’t wait for him to do it
And justify every awful philosophy you have since concluded
Sunday school, youth group, bible study – cancel it
Study the fruits of the spirit, period – that’s it
Christianity is NOT a religion
It’s a universal decision to love all men and women [WITHOUT EXCEPTION]
It’s likely I’ll offend you; I’m not making any promises
Love will prove itself, while I’m remaining anonymous
far as I’m concerned I’m slain in life and gone from it
WHAT YOU BELIEVE CAN BARELY MAKE YOU AN ARGUMENT
[I CAN'T STAND YOUR ATTITUDE]
I’m only hoping you’re the last one let into heaven and I die after you
We raise kids to embrace God
Wear a skirt or a suit, but confronting a sinner is like a face / off
Nobody needs your judgment or analysis
Beat down and left laying in the back of an ambulance
This is how I act for fun **** holding back my tongue
KILLIN IT til the second a panic attacks my lungs
I’m back, here I come - it may be unsettlin
Welcome to my solo album ladies and gentlemen
