Rich Mullins - Screen Door Lyrics

Matthew 7:15-20, Hebrews 6:9-10, James 2:14-26

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
Between having faith
And playing make believe
One will make you grow
The other one just make you sleep
Talk about it (yeah)
And 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 (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
