The Good Person Test
am i a good person? yeah you know i think so
i mean i don't go around just hurting other people
i pay my taxes i got a job i believe in god
sooo its not like im out there smokin rock and shootin cops
look, i even used to go to church when i was young
so yeah, im pretty sure when i die i'll go to heaven
im an average guy, i mean i aint no saint but
i think compared to many people id say im an 8 out 10
so yeah, i think my friends would say i try to do my best
why do you ask? is this some sort of test?
is this some sorta survey or what?
look, i got stuff to do today can we hurry this up?
am i a sinner? have i been forgiven?
man that's deep i dunno, im just livin
listen what the point im a busy man
maybe when i get old and grey you can ask me these questions again
yeah, yeah i get it, you never know when its your time right
i might die tonight and not make it to the white light
i've heard it all before but you know im still young
i dont wanna think about that stuff i just wanna have fun
god's commandments? yeah i think there's 10
i know a few but i don't remember all of them
do i think id go to heaven if that's the standard i was judged?
could god really let me pass if he was just?
huh, wow those are some really tough questions
i guess a good judge would actually have to punish my actions
yes i've lied so i guess that makes me a liar
im being honest now and im not in denial
have i stolen? i guess when i was young
what's that make me? look im just human!
who hasn't stolen something little here and there?
oh now im a thief ok that's not even fair
have i looked at a woman with lust?
uh duh yes i mean haven't all of us?
jesus said what? that that's adultery?
well then yeah i guess im guilty
have i taken gods name in vain?
umm yes in anger and for that i am ashamed
yes i've hated but some people get what they deserve
what? that's as if i was a murder?
so what your saying is that by my own admission
im a murdering lying thieving blasphemous adulterer at heart?
and because i've sinned i've been separated from god and condemned?
man that rings so true, its like i knew it,
but what can i do? i've been so stupid
do i need to like see a priest to seek forgiveness?
please ill go to church ill even go on wednesdays
look im willing to do anything god asks
what? my works are but filthy rags? there's nothing i must do
he accepts me exactly where im at?
and then hell change me after the fact?
i don't deserve that, that doesn't make sense
i've been to bad i should face punishment
you say its all by grace my sins can be erased
all i must do is repent because he took my place
he faced the judgment so justice could be fulfilled
and at the same time made a way to be revealed
i get it now how could i be so blind
none of us are good enough and thats why jesus died
i mean i don't go around just hurting other people
i pay my taxes i got a job i believe in god
sooo its not like im out there smokin rock and shootin cops
look, i even used to go to church when i was young
so yeah, im pretty sure when i die i'll go to heaven
