L ukewarm Life
Well, I’ve become rich, and I don’t need a thing I have everything I want, I’ve got the world on a string See I’ve acquired wealth, so I got some cool clothes That I bought for myself, so I won’t be exposed And I’m lovin’ lovin’ lovin’ my lukewarm life Not too big, not too little, I keep it right down the middle Got no peace but I got no strife And I’m good good good at playin’ it safe Oh, nice and easy does it, man I sure am lovin’ my lukewarm life What’s so wrong with a little comfort, a life free from suff’ring and pain It couldn’t possibly be Your will Lord for me to go ‘gainst the grain I’m not a fan of negativity with these harsh things You have to say So tell me something that I want to hear, or I just might turn the other way Well, I was lovin’ lovin’ lovin’ my lukewarm life But You cut me like a sword with your not-so-nice words Now hold on, Jesus, did I hear You right? Did I hear You sayin’ sayin’ sayin’ “either hot or c-c-c-cold” Man, it seems to me that You’re a tad-bit extreme for my lukewarm life Well, maybe I’m beginning to realize that maybe Maybe You know me better than I know myself And maybe I need You to open up my eyes, so I can put my pride up on the shelf And maybe, Lord, I’m gonna need a little help I hear You knockin’ knockin’ knockin’ on the door of my heart I wanna open up inside, invite You to abide, and clean out every part ‘Cause I know that I am a pitiful wretch I’m desperate and lowly, I need You to clothe me I’m naked and blind, Father open up my eyes I’m a big hot mess, but Jesus come and be my guest And I’m so sick and tired, Lord, refine me in the fire I wanna start livin’, oh God I am giving up . . . my luke . . . warm . . . life
