Reasons To Say No

Something new on the TV
Something new to get to me
Three more sitting on the fence
With inadequate defense
Three more fell in mammon's spell
Making money out of hell
Now glory goes to ABC
For reporting the truth to you and me
Now glory goes to doomed souls
As they just say "I told you so"
A few less tears for a burned down church
Less sympathy for a suppressed Word
Three more like those before defrocked
The saints become a laughingstock
Three more reasons to say no
To Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord

Reasons to say no

Just look at all this on the TV
Suits by Cardin and Armani
Look real good with diamond rings
And velvet carpeted settings
For the rich I have no dis
If they know what to do with it
Actionless emotions are a lie
Quick way to regret when you die
TV cameras can never catch
What's behind a door safely latched
If at some point they ever do
Edit it to do what you want it to
An easily manipulated medium
To see it is to believe it
Medium and message in control
Pay your money buy your soul

If the cameras could only catch
The silent struggles of believers attacked
They're the ones we could look up to
They're the ones who do what we should do
Look up to Jesus first no one else
Placing others before themselves
Feeding those out without a home
Keep believing when tomorrow's unknown
Unafraid to share the Word
In the everyday neighborhood world
Sometimes at night they'll cry from sin
Pray from the hole they've fallen in
Soon enough you'll see their cheer
As the Lord did not turn a deaf ear
There's some reason to say yes
To salvation through Jesus
