Crazy 'Bout Christ

people never could understand me.
heck.  i can't even understand myself.
some things i don't even try to understand.
some things i'd just accept.

me. . . many people would describe me with just one word.
one simple word called crazy.

they say i'm a bit harder to get along with.
or maybe it's just because i'm different.

no one ever could "get with it".
no one ever could understand what i represent.
and the ones that were supposed to rep. with me
somehow ended up a hypocrite.

but that's alright 'cause i don't mind rollin' solo.
and in the end, when Christ comes back
he'll know who was there to defend his name.
and the ones in the world playin' sin like a game will get played back.

it's almost like that saying "once you go black you never go back"
but for me it's:  "once you rollin' with Christ you never go back."
'Cause he keeps you safe from Satin's attacks.

it's so hard to explain these things that i'm saying
but when it comes to Christ i just ain't playin

yeah. . . many people would describe me with just one word.
many times i don't even try to understand 
and this, i could even accept.
i just can't help it if i'm crazy about Christ.

he's the one that's been there for me when no one else can be.
and he's the one who cares for me when everyone else leaves.
so the fact of the matter is. . .
he's the only one i need.

so you can try to break me down with your words but they don't even matter.
you can call me crazy or use other words to describe me
but i don't give your words another thought.
you're not my savior.
Christ's the one that paid the cost.

i'm his child.
he's the only one i aim to please.
and I'll do it all my life
even if i do look crazy.
