    The overriding theme of this album is that the Church, especially the Western Church, has slowly drifted away from sound doctrine and instead has embraced a feel-good, ear-tickling, watered-down doctrine based on pop-psychology, self-improvement, and narcissism. I’m not saying this is true for all congregations, or even most. However, it seems to be true enough that this has become the image that is presented to unbelievers.

about

The theme takes a slight turn on “Don’t Ask God.” This song is more about us and our struggle to follow Jesus and our reluctance to do so when it seems hard.

lyrics

Don’t Ask God

I searched the scriptures and I prayed to God for direction in my life.
I wanted worth and purpose; to be used for His delight.

He told me what I should do next but it sounded kinda` scary
So I figured I’d wait for a little while then maybe I’d be ready

So I killed some time and I waited for the guts to move ahead
Told a friend about my worries and this is what he said

Don’t ask God to light your way
If you’re not willing to walk the path
Don’t ask God to guide your life
If you’re not set to stay on track
Don’t ask God to take the wheel
If you’re not ready to ride the backseat
Don’t ask God to guide your footsteps
If you’re not willing to move your feet

I searched the scriptures and I prayed to God for direction in my life.
I wanted worth and purpose; to be used for His delight.

I believe I heard just what he said but it sounded kind of tough.
I thought I knew a better way that wouldn’t be so rough.

So I traveled down the path I’d found, but I couldn’t get ahead.
Told a friend about my dilemma, and this is what he said

Don’t ask God to light your way
If you’re not willing to walk the path
Don’t ask God to guide your life
If you’re not set to stay on track
Don’t ask God to take the wheel
If you’re not ready to ride the backseat
Don’t ask God to guide your footsteps
If you’re not willing to move your feet

So I traveled down the path I’d found, but I couldn’t get ahead.
Told a friend about my dilemma, and this is what he said
He said

Don’t ask God to light your way
If you’re not willing to walk the path
Don’t ask God to guide your life
If you’re not set to stay on track
Don’t ask God to take the wheel
If you’re not ready to ride the backseat
Don’t ask God to guide your footsteps
If you’re not willing to move your feet
