(A parody of “More Than Words” by Extreme)

They might tell you there’s lots of works God wants to see from you
That’s not the right attitude; none are saved by things that man can do
But Jesus said the deed was done on Calvary’s hill
More than works: ‘cause all the good you do ain’t no big deal
And it couldn’t get you saved; that’s too costly, the Bible tells me so

What would you do if I quote Ephesians 2
No man’s works can save his soul; that’s so nobody can boast
The Good Book says that it’s not by works but grace
And you couldn’t make things new without faith in our Lord too

La-dee-dah-di-dee-dah…
More than works

Now they might try to talk to you and make you one of them
But all you have to do is hope in Christ and just be born again
And trust the Holy Ghost, he’ll never let you go
More than works is John 6:28, and now to show
That the good work that you need is to believe, ‘cause Christ already rose

What would you do if your heart was born anew
Your good works could show your faith, but you must first take His grace
What do you say? If you trust His Word today
Then you could still make things new just by praying
Why don’t you?
