80's Medley: Octagon But Not Forgotten

Lyrics

Read Acts:
 Read Acts, go through it
 When you're done, you go do it
 Read Acts, go through it
 Anyone can come
 Read Acts, go through it
 Tell you what -- there's somethin' to it
 Read Acts, go through it
 Many miracles
 Bartimaeus' Eyes:
 He heard 'em holler, Ho!
 Here comes Jesus Christ
 The man would never know
 He's got Bartimaeus eyes
 He turned and looked around
 He don't have any sight
 He's sure he soon will, though
 He's got Bartimaeus eyes
 He says, Jesus
 When He sees me
 I'll be better, yes indeedy
 "Cause they told us
 That He knows just what it takes to make us whole, yes
 You gotta get a Bible, look up the guy
 Who's got Bartimaeus eyes
 Sweet Jesus (Made a Whip):
 Sweet Jesus made a whip
 Threw 'em out and despised greed
 The temple is more than a den of thieves
 Everybody, listen to something
 Money is what you use to
 Come up with stuff to get used by you
 Love of that money can ruin you
 Love of that money's evil's root
 Oooh
 Psalm Passage at Night:
 I read a Psalm passage at night
 So I can, so I can – watch the way they prayed in olden times
 And I read my Psalm passage at night
 So I can, so I can – keep scraps of Scripture in my mind
 I sleep peacefully
 'Cause God's my security
 And He's got a hold of me
 I turn to Him in faith
 Hundred Nineteenth Psalm:
 Tucked in the center, like a surprise
 You'll see a Psalm with earth-shaking size
 Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
 Ooh, it's acrostic in its design
 Because repeating letters open each line
 Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
 There's much written down
 I've got a hunch I'm bafflin' you
 Shall I expound? The acrostic is found
 In the hundred nineteenth Psalm
 It's got a design – it just doesn't rhyme
 And it's the longest chapter too
 It's alphabetized --22 sections wide
 It's the hundred nineteenth Psalm
 They Blindly Speak of Science:
 They're going through the motions
 They're tryin' to tenderize the meat
 They teach us evolution
 Their speech is very Darwin-y
 But they blindly speak of science
 (They blindly speak of science)
 6: 20 in First Timothy
 I Can't Grow From That (Nor Can You):
 The deception's worldwide
 To what are you trying to pray
 You've got a bland faith – your guru says
 Communicate with any god you please
 You see I mentioned this to
 Make a case for black and white
 But then one little cross leaves you shocked – it's unique
 You won't discover though you seek
 I know the ... Truth, Life, and Way
 Read John 14: 6, baby, one thing leads to the Father
 You tell me that I'm wrong – I've been a Christian too long, my friend
 One way leads to the Father
 Jesus said He's with me all the time
 That doesn't stop when news is scary and not so fine
 You've got some problems no one wants, I know
 You even prayed about them – they won't go
 Yeah, but I-I-I-I-I cried through many things that He brought me through
 Hey, and I-I-I-I-I'd do only pleasant things if I got to choose
 Yeah, but I can't grow from that, no – nor can you
 I can't grow from that, no – nor can you
 I can't grow from that, no – nor can you
 I can't grow from that, can't grow from that
 Can't grow from that, can't grow from that
 James 1: 3:
 Tough things await
 I don't know what – I'm just sayin'
 I'll face them anyway
 But James says that they refine you
 Trials await – I'll be coming through them all OK
 James 1: 3 -- They only
 Make me strong -- They hone me
 I'll see God
 Whenever they're through
 Let's admit it
 In the past you slipped
 Check on the facts
 Babe, your heart is black
 Well, you've probably done some wrong
 You was wicked
 Before you'd been around too long
 You was wicked
 To summarize this song
 You was wicked
 We're wicked – it's a shame
 Change it up
 Change a lot – get straight
 Grow purer – you may say
 "I'm too defective" – but God can make
 The wicked – wicked good
