Screen Door

Rich Mullins


"It's about as useless as a screen door on a submarine 
Faith without works baby 
It just ain't happenin'
One is your left hand one is your right 
It'll take two strong arms 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 having faith and playing make believe 
One will make you grow the other one just make you sleep 
Talk about it 
But I really think you oughtta 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 if it's gonna 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 like a song you can't sing 
It's about as useless as a screen door on a submarine "
