THE ANSWER

Words and Music by Danny Oertli ' 3/92

You tell me the answer
Is written on a sheepskin
You tell me the way
Will come to you soon
You tell me it's better
Just around the corner
Do you know it's true
You tell me the road
Is long and it's a hard one
It's covered with deceit
And exponential lies
And you tell me the future
Will bury what's behind you
Is that what hard work buys

For the Lord tells us now
That money's not the answer
And the Lord tells us now
Don't put your trust in man
For the path that He leads
Is winding into nowhere
The answer is Jesus Christ

There once was a time
Your innocence was blistful
The carelessness of youth
Had left you feeling prime
Your life wasn't filled
With consequential worries
Remember the time
But now your in the search
For all that is before you
Your looking for the key
That will open up the door
To a place that you feel
You can obtain the answers
But oh my friend there's more

For the Lord tells us now
That money's not the answer
And the Lord tells us now
Don't put your trust in man
For the path that He leads
Is winding into nowhere
The answer is Jesus Christ

In this life where status is the answer
In this life where brothers lend no hand
We know that Jesus is before us
And on His rock we'll stand

For the Lord tells us now
That money's not the answer
And the Lord tells us now
Don't put your trust in man
For the path that He leads
Is winding into nowhere
The answer is Jesus Christ
