I Don't Have To Rewrite A Country Song
by The Steeles

Album: Stirrin' It Up

I don't have to rewrite a county song
To let the world know I love Him
I don't have to borrow from a honky-tonk
I'm not ashamed of what I am
In Christ, all things are new
So, I don't have to sing the tunes
Of a life that I once lived
I don't have to rewrite a county song
To let the world know I love Him

Let me start out by saying
I don't have an axe to grind
I'm not mad at anybody out there
But I have an opinion
Through the words of this song
There is something I would like to share
When we become a child of God
Our instructions are clear
"Come apart and be separate", says the Lord
We're not called to emulate
Duplicate or imitate
Anything from the world

I don't have to rewrite a county song
To let the world know I love Him
I don't have to borrow from a honky-tonk
I'm not ashamed of what I am
In Christ, all things are new
So, I don't have to sing the tunes
Of a life that I once lived
I don't have to rewrite a county song
To let the world know I love Him

Bill Gaither, Squire Parsons
Kirk Talley, Sandy Knight
When they write a song, they give us the same
Gospel music from the heart
Not from the country charts
Just lifting up Jesus' name
Well, I supposed that there are those
Who disagree and this I know
Their intentions and their hearts are pure
But when I want to sing a song about Jesus
I don't need any help from the world

I don't have to rewrite a county song
To let the world know I love Him
I don't have to borrow from a honky-tonk
I'm not ashamed of what I am
In Christ, all things are new
So, I don't have to sing the tunes
Of a life that I once lived
I don't have to rewrite a county song
To let the world know I love Him

No, I don't have to rewrite a county song
To let the world know I love Him
