THE AUTOMOBILE OF LIFE
|
|
SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST LIKE AN AUTOMOBILE THEY¡¯LL RUN FINE WHEN EVERY THING IS RIGHT
|
WHEN THE ROADS ARE ALL CLEAR AND THE WEATHER IS FINE AND THERE¡¯S PLEANTY OF SUNSHINE AND LIGHT
|
BUT OFTEN THEY COME TO A WASH OUT AND THEN GET STUCK AND HAVE TO DETURE
|
MABY A BREAK IN THE CASTING WILL PORVE THEY NEVER WERE BUILT TO ENDURE
|
|
CH
|
GET PLENTY OF WATER AND PLENTY OF OIL AND THE BEST GASOLINE YOU CAN FIND
|
HAVE THE ENGIN TUNED UP AND LOOK OUT FOR YOUR BREAKS YOU¡¯LL HAVE SOME HARD PLACES TO CLIMB
|
LOOK OUT FOR THE TIRES FOR THE BLOWOUTS WILL COME ON A DANGERIOUS CURVE DEEP AND NIEGH
|
BUT IF YOU¡¯LL LET JESUS TAKE HOLD OF THE WHEEL YOU¡¯LL MAKE IT TO HEAVEN ON HIGH
|
|
SOME AUTO¡¯S ARE PAINTED AND POLISHED SO BRIGHT THEY SELL FOR MORE THAN THEY ARE WORTH
|
AND SOME PEOPLE THINK THEIR PROFESSION WILL DO STOP SHORT OF THE BIBLES NEW BIRTH
|
JUST START UP YOUR ENGEN AND THEN YOU CAN TELL IF THE THING IS HITTING ON SIX
|
FOR IF YOU DEPEND ON THE LOOKS OF THE CAR YOU¡¯LL BE IN A TERABLE FIX
|
|
NOW ALL OUR PROFESSION¡¯S OF POWDER AND PAINT THO LOVELY UPON THE OUTSIDE
|
WON¡¯T ANSWER TO GOD FOR HE LOOKS ON THE HEART IT MATTERS NOT HOW HARD WE¡¯VE TRIED
|
SO IF YOU ARE STUCK IN THE QUICKSAND OF SIN A WONDERING AND FLOWENDERING ABOUT
|
JUST LET GOD¡¯S GREAT ENGEN OF GLORY AND GRACE WITH A CABLE OF LOVE PULL YOU OUT
