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
