Song Lyrics

"Screen Door"

by Rich Mullins
Album: Songs

It's about as useless
As a screen door on a submarine
Faith without works, baby
It just ain't happening
One is your left hand
One is your right
It'll take two strong arms (mhmm)
To hold on tight

Some folks cut off their nose
Just to spite their face
I think you need some works to show
For your alleged faith

Well, there's a difference, you know
'tween havin' faith and playin' make believe
One'll make you grow
The other one just make you sleep
Talk about it
Yeah, I really think you oughta
Take a leap off of the ship
Before you claim to walk on water
Faith without works
Is like a song you can't sing
It's about as useless
As a screen door on a submarine

Faith comes from God
And every word that He breathes
He lets you take it to your heart
So you can give it hands and feet
It's gotta be active, it's gotta be alive
You gotta put it into practice
Otherwise...

It's about as useless
As a screen door on a submarine
Faith without works, baby
It just ain't happenin'
One is your right hand, one is your left
It's your light, your guide
Your life and your breath
Faith without works is like a song you can't sing
It's about as useless
As a screen door on a submarine
Faith without works is like a song you can't sing
It's about as useless
As a screen door on a submarine
