Parody of "All Star" by Smash Mouth
(Luke 11:9, Luke 18: 1-8, James 4:1-3, Matt. 6:33, Matt. 7:7, Luke 17:5,Matt. 17:20)
Somebody once told me "The Lord is not your roadie
"You ain't the star so do it yourself."
I said, "Look, it's kind of dumb
If if there's things that I need done
It's a shame not to call on the Lord's help."
Well, my prayers start comin' and they don't stop comin'
I read through the rules and I think I found somethin'
Didn't make sense not to get more done
I pray real hard cause the Heavenly Son
Showed what to do, said knock and seek
So what's wrong with praying and asking
You better go look in Luke, bro
11:9 if you don't know
Pray now – it's a lost art – get your day underway
Pray now – get a jump start – get a move on – get faith
God is listenin' you know – only you can start prayin' though
There's a cool case so you're prayin' gets bolder
You look it up Luke 18 yeah, let's go there
When the meanest of men met the widow
Judge he was, you know if you have the right scripture
But I see his patience is gettin' pretty thin
The woman gets annoyin' so he might as well give in
The world's like that – how about the Lord
God already likes ya – and you'll never get ignored
Pray now – it's a lost art – get your day underway
Pray now – fourth chapter – let me show ya – in James
God is listenin' you know – only you can start prayin' though
Somebody once asked Jesus give us the capacity
To get ourselves a faith that is great
He said, "Well, why ya want help?
"You could move a little hill yourself
"If you would all use a little faith."
Well, my prayers start comin' and they don't stop comin'
I read through the rules and I think I found somethin'
Didn't make sense not to get more done
Pray it smart cause the Heavenly Son
Showed what to do, said knock and seek
So what's wrong with praying and asking
You'll never know if you don't go
You better try if you don't know
Pray now – it's a lost art – get your day underway
Pray now – get a jump start – get a move on – get faith
God is listenin' you know – only you can start prayin' though
