That's Right

You probably think I’m crazy, just talking to the air

My prayers to you may seem something like despair

Well you don’t know the half of it, I’m desperate as can be

I’ll take every chance I get to secure eternity

That’s right, my God saves

That’s right, everyday

That’s right, my soul thrives

That’s right, Jesus is alive!

You probably wonder how I believe in such complete nonsense

You probably need to touch and feel in the current tense

Well I’m not bound by time or space or any other thing

My God’s bigger than all of that, that is why I sing

That’s right, my God saves

That’s right, everyday

That’s right, my soul thrives

That’s right, Jesus is alive!

You probably think Jesus sounds like an old zombie

That life from death sounds like something from a ghost story

It’s more than that, the turning point of all of history

Christ conquered sin and made the way to Heaven for you and me

That’s right, my God saves

That’s right, everyday

That’s right, my soul thrives

That’s right, Jesus is alive!

You’ve probably heard science proves Christians are not right

But science changes everyday so which theory is right?

My God is constant, never changing, Creator of all things

Until you can then I will choose to accept the love God brings

That’s right, my God saves

That’s right, everyday

That’s right, my soul thrives

That’s right, Jesus is alive!

You probably think that I’m no fun, bound by do’s and don’ts

But that’s not true I serve a God who’s forgiven all my loans

And there’s no place I’d rather be than to be free from all my sin

I choose abundant life, joy not strife, are you listenin’?

That’s right, my God saves

That’s right, everyday

That’s right, my soul thrives

That’s right, Jesus is alive!

You probably see Christians failing, giving God a bad reputation

Hypocrisy and broken promises at the heart of the Christian nation

You know it’s true, I will fail you, for I am just a sinner

But I’m forgiven and God’s turned me from loser into winner

That’s right, my God saves

That’s right, everyday

That’s right, my soul thrives

That’s right, Jesus is alive!

You may wonder why I choose to live in persecution

Why suffer ridicule in Jesus’ name? Is that the best solution?

All I know is what I’ve lived and I’ve experienced

A grace and peace, a lasting hope, assured deliverance!

That’s right, my God saves

That’s right, everyday

That’s right, my soul thrives

That’s right, Jesus is alive!

Across the seas in an old clay jar A journey vast, a journey far A small seed hidden amongst the cargo From Portugal west, on past Key Largo...
