say it like it is

This week I bought a CD that happens to have a song about not trying to improve upon Jesus' message and/or public image (how timely!). It was written over 30 years ago, but it's probably even more applicable now.

Say It Like It Is

Don't dress up my Gospel in fancy clothes
Don't gloss up my Jesus for the London shows
He'll take care of himself wherever He goes
You just say it like it is
You say it like it is
Say it like it is

He didn't come to put mysteries within your mind
Or even go to college to study for words that rhyme
Man, He would have never even wasted His time
He just said it like it is
He said it like it is
Said it like it is

Don't fix my Jesus in some stained glass frame
Pretend to be trendy just by speaking His name
He won't fit into any superstar game
You just say it like it is
You say it like it is
Say it like it is

Malcolm & Alwyn
from the 1973 album Fool's Wisdom
hear it buy it
