When a man he serves the Lord, it makes his life worthwhile.
|
It don't matter 'bout his position, it don't matter 'bout his lifestyle.
|
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
|
And there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
|
|
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.
|
He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
|
Some like to worship on the moon, others are worshipping the sun
|
And there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
|
|
Look around, ya see so many social hypocrites
|
Like to make rules for others while they do just the opposite.
|
|
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag.
|
Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag.
|
In a city of darkness there's no need of the sun
|
And there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
|
|
Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame
|
I never did see no fire that could put out a flame.
|
|
Pull your hat down, baby, pull the wool down over your eyes,
|
Keep a-talking, baby, 'til you run right out of alibis.
|
Someday you'll account for all the deeds that you done.
|
Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
|
|
God got the power, man has got his vanity,
|
Man gotta choose before God can set him free.
|
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?
|
Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
|
|
When I'm gone don't wonder where I be.
|
Just say that I trusted in God and that Christ was in me.
|
Say He defeated the devil, He was God's chosen Son
|
And that there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
