Lyrics

[do not cut off song until all words are sung]

[verse]
Don’t be FOOLED by those pretenders
Who THINK they’ve found the Lord.
They’ve WANDERED from the pattern
And THEY must be restored.
The gospel CALL goes out to all,
As LONG as they obey.
SalVAtion’s near to all who hear.
It’s JUST five steps away.

[verse]
We CALL ourselves Buh-ree-ins and
We HOLD the scriptures dear.
MOST of us will START a plan
To READ IT through each year.
There’s NOTHIN’ more important
Than auTHORity and truth.
And IF you disaGREE with us
We’ll FIND a verse for proof.

[bridge]
Be GLAD you’ve found the true church.
And LET salvation ring.
But DON’T pick up an instrument
AS we “stand and sing.”

[chorus]
If I can’t PUT my finger on it,
BOOK, chapter, and VERSE.
I won’t be PUTTIN’ my faith in it.
Cuz’ THERE ain’t nothin’ worse
Than POOR misguided PEOPLE
Who READ the word and PRAY.
Thinkin’ FAITH alone in JESUS
Saves THEM on judgement day.

[instrumental break]

[verse]
On SUNDAY we wear dresses and
SHORT-sleeved shirts with TIES.
We keep ALL the acts of WORship.
If you’re COUNTIN’ them, there’s five.
We LOVE your COMments in our class
Or AH-MENS from the crowd.
But LADIES, keep those in your hearts
And DON’T say them out loud.

[verse]
DeNOMinations come and go.
Thats WHY we’re not like them.
We KEEP our thoughts and DOCtrines pure,
Not INfluenced by MEN.
I LOVE the lord with ALL my heart
I PUT my trust in him.
I just HOPE I’m on his good side
When HE comes back again.

[bridge]
Lord, help us PRICK the hearts of those
Who FOR the world may THIRST.
And PLEASE don’t just DIRECT us,
But GUIDE and guard us first.

[chorus]
If I can’t PUT my finger on it,
BOOK, chapter, and VERSE.
I won’t be PUTTTIN’ my faith in it.
Cuz’ THERE ain’t nothin’ WORSE
Than POOR misguided PEople
Who READ the word and PRAY.
Thinkin’ FAITH alone in JEsus
Saves THEM on judgement day.

[guitar solo]

[verse]
Stick arOUND for an ANNOUNCEMENT
That’s SEPRIT and uh PART
From the CHURCH’s normal function.
It’s just INDIVIDUAL hearts.
We’re GONNA have a POTluck at
The SHELTER down the STREET.
Why don’t we HAVE it on the CHURCH lawn?
Cuz WE’VE got HOMES to drink and eat.

[verse]
So, when you RISE out of the water
Sins WASHED away and FREE.
The SIXTH step of salVAtion comes,
So GO LIVE faithfully.
Seek out a LOCAL congregation,
That’s NOT deceived or lost.
Make SURE their sign says, “FOUNDED on
The DAY of Pentecost!”

[chorus]
If I can’t PUT my finger on it,
BOOK, chapter, and VERSE.
I won’t be PUTTIN’ my faith in it.
Cuz’ THERE ain’t nothin’ WORSE
Than people CLAIMIN’ to be Christians
Who HAVEN’T realIZED
We’re divided by the details
Not just UNITED under Christ.

[a capella ]
If I can’t PUT my finger on it,
BOOK, chapter, and VERSE.
I won’t be PUTTIN’ my faith in it.
Cuz’ THERE ain’t nothin’ WORSE
[music comes back]
Than people CLAIMIN’ to be Christians
Who HAVEN’T realIZED
We’re divided by the details
Not just UNITED under Christ.
