All You Have to Do

Inspired by:
Gospel of Mark 6:45-52
Gospel of John 11:1-44
 

I said it with an edge of uncertainty in my voice
Like the one that I wanted to convince was me
I said that the only authority was freedom of choice
And I swore that what I am is all I was meant to be

I said that I knew in my heart that I'd been pretty good
And if there was a God He'd be good, too
And at first it seemed to me he was starting to agree
When he looked me in the eye and said, It's true...

All you have to do is walk on water
All you have to do is raise the dead
All you have to do is live a life like no one ever lived
And say the wisest things that ever have been said
That's all you have to do... and the world will revolve around you

Well, I said I could imagine there wasn't any place like heaven
I said that it would be easy if you try
So why should I believe a book written two thousand years ago
I'd rather just live for me, myself and I

So I concluded that I didn't think I really needed a savior
And I said that I didn't think Jesus needed to die
And he said that I was probably right, 'cause nobody's perfect
So what if I can't see the way with this log in my eye

Sure, you can be your own god
You can even gain a following, it isn't very hard...

That's all you have to do... and you will be good enough, too

That's all you have to do... that's all you have to do
