Faith Is Like Stick Shift Car

Start off in first, go as far as you can The engine starts to shake and roar You got to shift to second, smooth it out, It is really hard to ignore. Second gear will take you farther along You feel a little wind in your face Pretty soon the engine will let you know Shift to third to stay in the race Now you are really humming right along And everything feels like it should But you feel that maybe you could do more To make it go smooth like it could Ease It into fourth, feel all the power It‘s not unlike your faith in him Each step you take, the farther you can go The world in the mirror grows dim But that’s not all it takes, so listen up You will have to maintain your ride You get your gas from the good book Keep the trash from being inside. And change your oil, when it is thin and low And put a good clean filter in Don’t get it from an earthly type man Because you know where it has been Kick the tires, make sure they don’t feel low ‘Cause the road is narrow and straight We do not want to run right off the road And take a chance in missing the gate Set up straight, put your seat belt in place You do not want to get pulled over do things by using the golden rule and you won’t have to look over your shoulder If you want to have some company along It’s probably a really good thing Jesus will come, well he does rule the road And after all, he is the King Patrick Lorenz 2-13 3: am
