This song is dated...it was written when Jerry Springer was driving the country nuts with his TV show. His shows were simply a reflection of how crazy the world was becoming. This song speaks to that.
lyrics
GOOD NEWS
words & music by Larry L Campbell c2000
Verse 1:
Come on, listen to me, we've got something real, not like that junk on tv.
It's an everlasting light, that some refuse to see, like a Jerry Springer. Somehow, we've got to be, salt in a world that's lost all seasoning, a light in the dark, for those too blind to see, like the Ray Charles singers.
Hey, any ole fool can turn away, ignoring the price that Christ has paid, Freedom to choose, and choosing to lose, hey, it's up to you and me to say, there's is no need to live that way, we have GOOD NEWS, freedom to choose.
Verse 2:
Don't be fooled by the sea, the sea of endless souls that go on endlessly, laughing as they build, their homes by the sea, on the shifting seashore. They need, foundations to be, built on the rock, to prevent the raging sea, from tossing them around, like a feather in the breeze, need I say more?
Hey, any ole fool can drift away, drowning in the latest fad that day, freedom to choose, and choosing to lose. Hey, it's up to you and me to say, there is no need to live that way. We have GOOD NEWS, freedom to choose.
