ONE WAY
You see, there ain’t but one way to direct, devotion from your heart,
One sound to collect, on the Book of Life’s big chart.

People, let me talk to you, for just a little while,
About a most disturbing trend, concerning taste and style,
Oh, you followers and devotees, of musicians and their ways,
Please, don’t confuse the life they choose, with what God has to say.
* * * * *
In this apparent age of rock and roll, you know, the whole world seems to feel,
Oh, that every move some musician makes, is the ultimate big deal,
Well, now, you may purchase all the tunes, know the words to every one,
Oh, but in the end, my lonely friend, the only Word is Kingdom Come.
* * * * *
You see, there ain’t but one way to direct, devotion from your heart,
One sound to collect, on the Book of Life’s big chart,
There ain’t but one way to direct, devotion from your heart,
One sound to collect, on the Book of Life’s big chart.
* * * * *
Well, now, many people seem to feel, that rock and roll is king,
Oh, but only 40 years ago, you know, the magic word was swing,
Yes, and only 40 years from now, rock will be passe’,
Because music’s just a human thing, and it fades from day to day.
* * * * *
Oh, so don’t be smug ‘cause you’re cool, laughing, ‘cause I’m not,
Said, on the scale of judgment day, you know, there ain’t no cool or hot,
Yes, and pretense is a hollow sham, and all those things you love,
Become meaningless, worthless goals, when faced with God above.
* * * * *
You see, there ain’t but one way to direct, devotion from your heart,
One sound to collect, on the Book of Life’s big chart,
There ain’t but one way to direct, devotion from your heart,
One sound to collect, on the Book of Life …
The Book of Life …
The Book of Life’s big chart.
