Description
An "homage" to the rockabilly styles of Commander Cody and Johnny Cash, "WWJD" tells the story of a man who feels constantly wronged by others who flaunt their Christianity. But by the last verse, circumstances turn the same spotlight upon his own heart. What would Jesus do?
Lyrics
Well it's 7 in the morning and I'm losin' my mind Gotta get into the city, runnin' way behind Pour my breakfast in my mug, grab my bag and the mornin' gazette Pull out of the garage with the needle on "E" And the price of gasoline more than gold, it seems Pull into the station, grab the nozzle and go deeper in debt Out onto the road with my calander open, Stressin' over all that's ahead and I'm hopin' That I'll make up some time and that the boss will be late too Turn onto the ramp and the engine strains But some driver on the highway cuts me off in my lane With a sticker on the bumper sayin' "What would Jesus do?" What would Jesus do in your place if He were you? Do you even have a clue - what would Jesus do? If your mind is all askew, ask the Spirit to renew He can change you through and through What would Jesus do? Run into the office, late for a meeting, The faces in the room say I'm in for a beating And my boss delivers - like I'll never forget Head for my station like a man in a casket 'Cause the day's already gone to hell in a basket And turn to my work in a layer of sweat Midway through the day I need some direction And hopin' to avoid any further rejection I head for the boss' office - some kinda death wish I can see that for me he holds no affection As I feel his glare like I have an infection But there on his desk is the sign of the fish What would Jesus do in your place if He were you? Do you even have a clue - what would Jesus do? If your mind is all askew, ask the Spirit to renew He can change you through and through What would Jesus do? The quittin' bell rings, I close up my work Never got a break and I'm goin' berserk Head for the hills, but make a quick stop at the store I grab a few things to throw on the grill I head for the checkout, she rings up my bill I hand her a 10, she makes my change from the drawer Headin' outside, I see my change was too much Guess she thought I gave her 20 when I gave her 10 bucks Should I take it back inside or stick it in my pocket and flee? Reachin' for the car door, I feel on my wrist A small reminder that I almost missed A thin rubber bracelet saying... What would Jesus do in your place if He were you? Do I even have a clue - what would Jesus do? If your mind is all askew, ask the Spirit to renew He can change us through and through He will make us all anew So you will not misconstrue, well I think it's overdue When you wear the other shoe What would Jesus do?
