God don’t make no promises that He don’t keep

You got some big dreams, baby, but in order to dream you gotta still be asleep

And strengthen the things that remain?

Counterfeit philosophies have polluted all of your thoughts

Karl Marx has got ya by the throat, Henry Kissinger’s got you tied up in knots

And strengthen the things that remain?

You got innocent men in jail, your insane asylums are filled

You got unrighteous doctors dealing drugs that’ll never cure your ills

And strengthen the things that remain?

You got men who can’t hold their peace and women who can’t control their tongues

The rich seduce the poor and the old are seduced by the young

Adulterers in churches and pornography in the schools

You got gangsters in power and lawbreakers making rules

Spiritual advisors and gurus to guide your every move

Instant inner peace and every step you take has got to be approved

Do you ever wonder just what God requires?

You think He’s just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires

You can’t take it with you and you know that it’s too worthless to be sold

They tell you, “Time is money,” as if your life was worth its weight in gold

There’s a Man up on a cross and He been crucified for you

Believe in His power that’s about all you’ve got to do
