Song Lyrics

Verse:
Such a bonehead I must be;
I live for me and wind up dead;
I’m tired of my selfish spree;
I’ll just be another instead;

I’ve lived for me with nothing to show;
I can tell by my checkbook;
I’ve ran to me; nowhere I go,
Now my life’s got a lonely look;

Chorus:
I’ve decided to quit being me,
I have put in my resignation;
I have turned to what sets free;
Live for the Lord of my salvation;

Verse:
Being me don’t pay me much;
There’s just no great dividend;
Can’t get rich being as such,
So’s here where it has to end;

So, dear Jesus, be in my stead,
And take the life that I’ve messed up;
All I need’s Your living bread,
Make my heart Your joyful cup;

Bridge:
What is that sickly stench I smell?
It smells like death, only warmed over,
Smells like something sent from hell;
Oh, God it’s me, I need to change over;




"...reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts."--Romans 6:10-11

"But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts."--Romans 13:14
