It Doesn't Work That Way
by Rob Frazier

What happened to the man who had a heart for God?
Who knew how to love before you got so smart?
Before you knew all the answers you had something to share
Now you're theologically correct but the Lord don't care

Cause you can talk all night how you're the only one who's got it
And quote your scripture till the cows come home

But hey it doesn't work that way
You can't crucify your brother in the name of grace
You can't drink the wine of mercy
When you're full of hate
It doesn't work that way

Cause it's love over knowledge that sets us apart
You may be right as rain but as long as you're vain you'll have an empty heart
Now when you look in the mirror, tell me, who do you see?
You may think you're Paul but you're more like Saul - "Why do you crucify Me?"

Now you can preach all day against the heretics and fools
But you only talk to people just like you

Now I don't think I'm any better than you
Just because I don't agree with all your views
But one thing I know and I know it's true
That beating up each other is not what we're supposed to do

Now I believe in the Bible and I believe in the truth
And teaching sound doctrine is what we ought to do
But the truth's not a commodity - no the truth is the truth
And it's not a weapon that I can use against you - It doesn't work that way
