The Simple Life
TAKE ME BACK TO "THE SIMPLE LIFE"
OF HOME, FAMILY AND FRIENDS
SITTING ON THE FRONT PORCH AT
MY GRANDMA HARRISON'S!
The days were slow and long back then!
Oh, we would sit and talk for hours!
Oh, how I wish I could go back there again
To the days when I took the time to smell the flowers!
BUT TIME'S MOVED ON!
THINGS HAVE CHANGED
AND MY GRANDMA IS NO LONGER AROUND!
KNOWLEDGE INCREASED
BUT MY FOCUS ON GOD GOT WEAK
IN THIS FAST-PACED WORLD THAT I LIVE IN NOW!
OH, HOW I WISH I COULD GO BACK AGAIN
TO "THE SIMPLE LIFE" THAT I ONCE HAD!
THE SIMPLE LIFE (LIVING RIGHT) IS WHAT WE ALL COULD USE RIGHT NOW!
Look around and you will see that everything is so different now!
Families are scattered all around!
They've had to find work far away from their hometowns!
The economy's bad and people are sad!
They're wondering if they'll make it through!
I know they wish that they could go back again
To "The Simple Life" that they once knew!
BUT TIME'S MOVED ON!
THINGS HAVE CHANGED!
ALL THAT'S LEFT ARE THE MEMORIES!
KNOWLEDGE INCREASED
AND OUR FOCUS ON GOD GOT WEAK
IN THIS FAST-PACED WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN NOW!
OH, HOW I WISH WE COULD GO BACK AGAIN
TO "THE SIMPLE LIFE" THAT WE ONCE HAD!
THE SIMPLE LIFE (LIVING RIGHT) IS WHAT WE ALL COULD USE RIGHT NOW!
A big brick house, cell phones, fancy cars, video games and streaming TV.
We've got it all in this ole world
EXCEPT our focus on God and His plan for you and me!
Ole Satan has blinded our eyes
With all of his elaborate delusions!
If we would read Ecclesiastes 12:13,
THEN WE'D KNOW THE ABSOLUTE CONCLUSION!
FEAR GOD!
KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS!
FOR THIS IS THE WHOLE DUTY OF MAN!
THOUGH KNOWLEDGE WILL INCREASE
OUR FAITH AND FOCUS DOESN'T HAVE TO GET WEAK
IN THIS FAST-PACED WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN NOW!
I KNOW THAT WE'D BE "BETTER OFF"
WITH "THE SIMPLE LIFE" THAT WE ONCE HAD!
THE SIMPLE LIFE (LIVING RIGHT) IS WHAT WE ALL COULD USE RIGHT NOW!
PUT GOD FIRST AND
REALIZE THAT "THE SIMPLE LIFE"
"THE GOOD LIFE", "THE SIMPLE LIFE" CAN STILL BE FOUND!
PUT GOD FIRST AND
REALIZE THAT "THE SIMPLE LIFE" CAN STILL BE FOUND!
ECCLESIASTES 12:13, "LET US HEAR THE CONCLUSION OF THE WHOLE MATTER:
FEAR GOD, AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS:
