Home

I woke up this morning
Trying to understand
What it means to live your life
In just the new man.
Afraid of feeling nothing:
No assurance of eternal life,
That no Holy Spirit voice is
Telling me I’m saved by Christ.

Where is your ho-o-o-ome,
Ho-o-o-ome?
Faith is your ho-o-o-ome,
Ho-o-o-ome.
Are you at home?

I said an acceptance prayer
When I was only seven.
Now I’m thirty-two,
And I don’t know if I’ll really go to Heaven.
I make a profession.
I think it every day.
Now I’m reading Reformed doctrine
And looking for a clearer way.

Where is your ho-o-o-ome,
Ho-o-o-ome?
Faith is your ho-o-ome,
faith is your ho-o-o-ome.
Are you at home?

I live, I feel, in Laodicea
I study underneath the famed
I’d like to see in the Book of Life
That I am named

Where is your home?
Oh, ho.
Ho, oh.
Are you at ho-o-o-o-ome?
Ho-o-o-o-ome?
Ho-o-ome?
Ho-o-o-o-ome?

I’ve been crazy
Most of my yesterdays
The only thing I wanted
Has driven my life away
I woke up this morning
Feeling Jesus was in my heart
The Devil’s asking another question
And he’s tearing us apart, tearing us apart
And he’s tearing us apart, tearing us apart
And he’s tearing us apart

The Great “I Am”

Well, it was going down,
In a Bible Belt town,
In a camp revival tent.
The evangelist there to lead the acceptance prayer,
The mourner at the bench.
“To be saved for eternity,
In obedience you must stay.”
The repentant did falter,
A counselor stooped to the altar: “Just say:
‘I am…saved by Christ!’”

Somewhere a pilgrim’s struggling all alone,
Despondent in the Slough.
Did he substitutionarily atone?
Does the English rep Greek and Hebrew?
Christianity seems confounded.
He’ll never give full restitution.
In his desperate mind he thunk.
A voice said: “Solution:
I am…saved by Christ!”

Oh, how my heart delights,
To say “I am saved by Christ”!
Jesus paid the price. Now I am saved by Christ.
I am…saved by Christ!


By mistake a Christian walked into a church,
Where a legalist gang hangs out.
They complained about his baptism,
And ordered him all about.
They passed the plates around the house,
And wanted his money too.
But it was a “Futile call for revenue:
I am…saved by Christ!”

Oh, how my heart delights,
To say “I am saved by Christ”!
Absolutely free, the gift is to be.
I am…saved by Christ!

So all you world, flesh and devil,
Who hide out on the fringe,
You’ve driven me to insanity:
Now I’m gonna get revenge!
You won’t heed this warning,
And you won’t get out of my way.
To me it’s clear I’m not really here:
I am…saved by Christ!

Oh, how my heart delights,
To say “I am saved by Christ”!
I stick my head in the sand into the Promised Land.
I am…saved by Christ!

Oh, how my heart delights,
To say “I am saved by Christ”!
It’s the principle that makes us invincible.
I am…saved by Christ!

Everything changed when Puff roared out his name!

It don’t pay to slam the great “I am”!

A man’s got to know his limitations, yeah.

It was accepted by the website Parodeities. I guess they’re not very picky.
