[Faith-talk] One Way, Jesus!

[Joshua Lester]

Hi, it's Joshua Lester.
Because of the recent discussion, I want to post the lyrics to one of
my favorite songs.
This isn't one of my reflections, so I'll post one tomorrow, as well.
I may be biased, about this being my favorite song, because it was
written by my cousin, (Mark Farrow,) and recorded by the Imperials,
(my favorite group.)
"O Buddha."
Vs: 1. Well, Old Buddha was a man,
and I'm sure that he meant well
but I pray for his disciples
lest they wind up in Hell
and I'm sure that old Muhammad
thought he knew the way
but it won't be Hare Krishna
we stand before on the judgement day.
Vs: 2. Well, I don't hate anybody
so please don't get me wrong
but there is a message
in this semple song.
There is only one way, Jesus
if eternal life is your goal,
and meditation of the mind
won't save your soul.
Chorus: 1. No it won't be old Buddha
that's sitting on the throne
and it won't be old Muhammad
that's calling us home
and it won't be Hare Krishna
that plays that trumpet tune
and we're going to see the Son, not Reverend Moon.
Vs: 3. You can call yourself a Baptist
and not be born again.
A Presbyterian, or a Methodist,
and still die in your sin.
You can even be a Charismatic,
shout and dance
and jump a pew
but if you hate your brother
you won't be part of the chosen few.
Chorus: 2. Cause it won't be a Baptist
that's sitting on the throne
a Presbyterian, or a methodist
that's calling us home
and it won't be a Charismatic, that plays that trumpet tune
so let's all just work for Jesus
for he's coming back real soon.
Repeat chorus: 1.
Blessings, Joshua
