"Promised Land, By Faith Receive" (song)

Well, time to open another can of creativity (and/or inanity) and listen to it fizz. I know you've been bucking for another parody song and of course, there's no passing the buck (or bucks) here. ;-)
It's all for free and fun and ultimately for God's glory- just as Jesus made Heaven to be. We all start in sin and follow after that path until God intervenes and sends someone to tell us about Christ and His sacrifice on the cross. When we are presented with the facts ...of our sinfulness and need for the Savior, we have to make a choice- it's time for making our minds up. We can either choose to ignore God's free offer of salvation through faith in Jesus' death and Resurrection (and thus inherit death and punishment in Hell) or we can choose to accept God's free offer and an inheritance in the Promised Land of Heaven; I implore you- by faith, receive!

"Promised Land, By Faith Receive"
(parody of "Land of Make Believe" by Bucks Fizz; copyright by Nathan Ludwick 11/13/2014)
(Matthew 19:16-30, 2 Peter 3:8-15, 2 Corinthians 6:2, Romans 5:8, Revelation 3:20, Romans 10:8-13, John 10:1-18, Matthew 5:17, Matthew 7:12-14, Joshua 24:15, Matthew 10:28, Romans 10:4, Romans 1:16-17, Romans 2-3, Matthew 25, Habakkuk 2:4, Matthew 13:1-30, John 12:24-26, John 3:16-21, Romans 3:23 and Romans 6:23)

Start- you arrive, little one
Where do you want to be?
Heaven's gates- we all hope
To land on golden streets

Shepherd's rapping at your heart's door
Goatly voices prick your will to come and play

But for straw, the wheat must die first
So you're torn with cares all lined up
Tempter's ever after
he's gunning out for you, babe

Run with The Son, little one
You're an outlaw 'cause of sin
Christ will save- Take His hand
He's redeemed us by His plan
(For) Promised Land, by faith believe!

Something nasty in the Garden baiting
Adam (and) Eve- sin came and grabbed their hearts

Try to go but it won't let you
Don't you know thief's out to kill you, honey?
Steal (and) destroy you
he's running after you, babe

Run with The Son, little one
You're without law- still in sin
Time to change- choose your stand
Either with God or with sin
Play your hand and make beliefs

The Lord's returning-
Trust Christ today!
Or be in burning fire for always

Then, no excuse- you and I
We deserve this- just to die
Romans 10- rescue plan!
Win the Treasure close at hand
Beforehand He's paid- believe!

Take His hand- by faith believe!

Run for The Son, little one!
Christ lived out Law once for all
Christ the real Superman
He died for us while we sinned
Rose again and made our peace

Run with The Son, little one
He's end of Law- Romans 10
Righteousness- imputed to man
Trust in Jesus while you can
(For) Promised Land, by faith believe!

(Spoken:) (But God commends His love for we,
In Romans 5 verse 8 you'll see
He gave His Son who died and rose
For sinners too- praise Christ The Lord!)
