Songs That Answer Questions

Lyrics
I don't want to spend my time A-singing songs to answer questions That nobody's even asking anyhow When the house is burning to the ground There's just no time to stand around Arranging all the pictures on the wall I want to spend my life A-giving folks the living water And the bread of life They just can't live without Instead of spending all that time A-singing songs to answer questions That nobody's even asking anyhow I don't want to spend my life Just preaching sermons that give answers To the questions that no one's asking anywhere When there's so much pain, so much hurting There's no time to be a-searching For the needles in the haystacks that aren't there I want to spend my time A-wearing myself out for Jesus With the news a cure has been found To heal our land Instead of making lists, inventing creeds That aren't concerned with people's needs I'll show them how to touch the nail-scarred hand I don't want to spend my time praying Prayers bombarding heaven with requests To reign down fire on saints who care In our methods we may differ But if Christ the Lord we live for May we not forget the enemy's out there I wanna spend my life Making my part of the body Of our Savior work with smooth efficiency One may be the knee, and one the nose You may be the fingers, and I'm the toes But listen, my brother, I have need of these I don't want to spend my time A-singing songs to answer questions That nobody's even asking anyhow When the house is burning to the ground There's just no time to stand around Arranging all the pictures on the wall I want to spend my life A-giving folks the living water And the bread of life They just can't live without Instead of spending all that time A-singing songs to answer questions That nobody's even asking anyhow
