about

BARBARA (wife of ALAN, the chair of the mega-church council) laments that her husband seems to be more in love with the Bible than he is with her.

lyrics

Last Corinthians

THERE IS A PART OF ME THAT YOU DON’T SHARE
OUR LOVE OF JESUS SHOULD MAKE US CLOSER
BUT YOU’RE SHOWING ME THAT YOU DON’T CARE
DON’T CARE TO TOUCH ME,
DON’T CARE TO LOVE ME TOO
I PRAY THAT YOU
WILL SET ME FREE FROM THIS LIFE I’M IN
BECAUSE IT’S A SIN
TO LOVE THE WORD SO MUCH MORE THAN ME

WHEN WE MET YOU DIDN’T KNOW THE LORD
YOU DIDN’T REALIZE WHAT YOU WERE MISSING
YOU WERE BORN AGAIN UNTO HIS WORD
AND THEN I FELT OUR LIVES
GROWING FURTHER APART
I NEED A NEW START
PLEASE SET ME FREE FROM THIS LIFE I’M IN
BECAUSE IT’S A SIN
TO LOVE THE WORD SO MUCH MORE THAN ME

IN THE BIBLE IT TALKS OF GOD’S OWN GRACE
A DEEP ABIDING LOVE FOR ALL
HOW CAN YOU WORSHIP AND NOT BE
THE SALT OF THE EARTH, THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD,
THE LOVING EMBRACE FOR ALL?

THERE IS A PART OF ME THAT CAN’T BELIEVE
THAT GOD WON’T LET US LOVE EACH OTHER
BUT IN YOUR WORLD THERE CAN BE NO REPRIEVE
YOU CAN’T BE FAITHFUL, UNLESS YOU’RE HATEFUL TOO
I PRAY THAT YOU
WILL SET ME FREE FROM THIS LIFE OF SIN

I’LL SAY IT AGAIN

YOU LOVE THE BIBLE MORE THAN GOD,
MORE THAN THE HOLY TRINITY
MORE THAN THE THINGS THAT JESUS SAID
ABOUT FALSE PIETY
YOU LOVE THE WORD SO MUCH MORE THAN ME
