Apologetix I'm A Receiver Lyrics

Parody of "I'm a Believer" by The Monkees, based on the version by Smash Mouth
(Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 8:32, Matthew 10:8, John 1:12)

I thought God was only Jewish fairy tales
Meant for someone else with lots more faith
All my doubts depressed me -- that's the way it stayed
Till a voice said, "Honey, call my name"
Then I got His grace -- now I'm a receiver
God replaced -- the doubt in my mind -- I've been loved
I'm a receiver -- Got the Redeemer in my life
I thought God was more impressed with givin' things
He said, "Boy, I gave the best I got
"What's the use in strivin'? All your debt is paid
"Didn't leave a punchline on My grave"
Then I got His grace -- now I'm a receiver
Got a place -- a palace on high -- up above
I'm a receiver -- I'm gonna be there if I die
What's the use in strivin? All your debt is paid
Check out Romans 10:9 -- I got saved
When I got His grace -- now I'm a receiver
Mama says -- I'm out of my mind -- I've been touched
I'm a receiver -- I got Ephesians 2:8, 9
Then I got His grace -- now I'm a receiver
Not afraid -- about when I die
Now I'm a receiver, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
