Good News by Kevin Laffoon Lyrics
HOOK
You don’t have to watch your ship go down
Jesus came to save the lost, will you be found
Just reach out to the Lord, you don’t have to drown
Open up your heart and let his love abound
VERSE 1
In the beginning life on earth was gravy
Innocent world like a newborn baby
Free will what a deal, man the world was amazing
Walking in the garden with the Lord, how crazy
Stood stall, but we chose to crawl
Yeah men chose sin, and we lost it all
And ain't a way that we could win with sin
Cause sin gives birth to death and death comes to men
And all men sin, so all men will die
But they prophesied a savior for you and I
He was born of a virgin, all part of the plan
So he could take on flesh and become a man
Mankind on his mind so He paid the price
Laid his life on down as a sacrifice
With a love so great, we don’t understand
He wanna take us on back to his homeland, get it?
HOOK
You don’t have to watch your ship go down
Jesus came to save the lost, will you be found
Just reach out to the Lord, you don’t have to drown
Open up your heart and let his love abound
BRIDGE
Jesus, same God who created the skies
Spoke truth, gave proof, no compromise
Jealous men, in sin, labeled him as a fraud
Though his miracles proved that he came from God
VERSE 2
They walked Him through the streets, but none of us paid
Attention
Turned our backs on Him as they gave him another lynching
Eye swelling to the size of a melon as they released the felon
Chanting to crucify Him, they had illegally tried Him
Not once did He resist as they nailed His wrist
And nah, you ain’t never seen a love like this
He was so cold as the warm blood flowed out of His flesh
You were always on His mind through death, you never left
So, take a long, hard, look, in His eyes (uh huh)
Stare at the strain and the pain as He fought the cries
See the clench of His fists as they scourged His back
With a cat like whip that they prolonged to crack
Till the veins and the flesh made a…bloody mess
And all the wounds he received had begun to mesh
Till the parasitic cross that He bore prevailed
And they tore His battered body of the rusty nails
HOOK
You don’t have to watch your ship go down
Jesus came to save the lost, will you be found
Just reach out to the Lord, you don’t have to drown
Open up your heart and let his love abound
VERSE 3
While he was alive Christ told us that
He’d be dead three days, then he’d come on back
And he did, it was spoken, and it came to pass
And it meant salvation had come at last
So, if you believe in the savior’s name
Looking for a new home and your heart to change
You can turn from your sin and come back to him
And be baptized in Christ to be born again
Then you can walk in the light, go and fan the flame
And Let the whole world know you confess his name
That you will bear the shame for the savior’s name
Let the old man die, never be the same
Gotta go, gotta tell ‘em what its all about
Going into all the world, yeah shout it out
He who has an ear, let him head the call
Because the Lord Jesus wanna save us all
HOOK
You don’t have to watch your ship go down
Jesus came to save the lost, will you be found
Just reach out to the Lord, you don’t have to drown
Open up your heart and let his love abound
You don’t have to watch your ship go down
Jesus came to save the lost, will you be found
Just reach out to the Lord, you don’t have to drown
Open up your heart and let his love abound
You don’t have to watch your ship go down
Jesus came to save the lost, will you be found
Just reach out to the Lord, you don’t have to drown
Open up your heart and let his love abound
You don’t have to watch your ship go down
Jesus came to save the lost, will you be found
Just reach out to the Lord, you don’t have to drown
Open up your heart and let his love abound
