Why ? I?m No Unbeliever, I know the Golden Rule,
I go to Church (at) ?least once a week, I ain?t perfect but I?m cool ?
?don?t keep the Ten Commandments, they?re kind of out of style!
The wage of sin is death you say ? why ? I ain?t sinned in quite a while!

REFRAIN

Why ? I?m the frozen chosen, religion is my way ?
don?t much like the Word of God ? it kind of spoils my day.
Yeah ? I believe in Jesus, why ? he was a special guy,
a prophet, teacher, a child of peace. Too bad He had to die.


Love the Lord with all your heart, strength and mind agree,
your neighbor as you love yourself, why that, that can?t be meant for me.
(yeah) I cheated on my taxes, I looked with lust and greed,
but I?m no worse than no one else ? why, why Hell?s no place for me ?

REFRAIN

Why ? I?m the frozen chosen, don?t want to know the Lord ?
don?t much like the Word of God ? don?t want no Spirit Sword,
Yeah ? I believe in Jesus, but live for him? Come on!!!.
I?ll live for me there?s lots of time, I?ll work my way to God.


Okay ? uh ? you may be right, (May be right) I can?t begin to live a perfect life,
but if I change my ways and follow Him. (Change my ways) Why? He?ll give Eternal Life? You say ? (He?ll) take my imperfection, (Imperfection) give a perfect soul?
A soul that God can look upon, (Perfect soul) without this sinner?s toll?
Not by understanding, (faith in Jesus) not by mightiness?
Only faith in Jesus Christ,(faith in God) His perfect Righteousness?
Why, I believe in Jesus.(Unbeliever) I hear that He?s the Lord,
Ya say ?the ? the demons (Demons too) also know of Him?
But they?ve not been transformed?
The demons also know Him too, (Born Again) but they?ve not been transformed?
The demons also know Him too, (Born Anew) but they?ve not been transformed?
The demons also know Him too (Born Again) but they?ve not been transformed?
