Just Because You're A Christian
Your friends were floored
When you found the Lord
Changing your way of life
Yet they saw in you
Something new
Different as day and night
Though every now and then
You dip your toes in
The muddy waters of the mainstream
But that's okay
It's not like you dip every day
Anyways it's only up to your knees
"Just because you're a Christian
doesn't mean you have a license to sin"
You grew up in church
Where the lessons you learned
Were all grilled into your head
Barely leaving a mark
Upon your heart
To be nurtured and Godly fed
Although you know Jesus
There's a consensus
You're still a babe in the faith
Eating soft food and milk
Not sure you ever will
Taste the true goodness that is The Way
"Just because you've been forgiven
doesn't mean you have a license to sin"
You do everything right
Know all the Christian sound bites
Pray sometimes when you get the chance
Don't drink or smoke
Know that dope is for dopes
And wouldn't dare dance if given the chance
You see the world in its mess
And so thankful you're His
And with the good as gone you don't associate
You dabble in love
Hoping that it's enough
While in your heart you still hold hate
"Just because you're a Christian
doesn't mean you have a license to sin"
