Parody of "This is a Call" performed by The Foo Fighters and written by Dave Grohl
(Galatians 1-6)
Visited your cities – visiting was good
Seems that other men have come in since we taught there
Legalists deceived you – they can seem real good
Yet we know that every one is an imposter
This is from Paul to all my
Friends in Galatia
Listen to Paul, you all
Legalism's pretty – legalism's good
That's if all you ever wanted was some bondage
They've got circumcision – and they say you should
But it's all a bunch of autocratic nonsense
This is from Paul to all my
Friends in Galatia
Jesus fulfilled the law
This is from Paul to all my
Friends in Galatia
Repent or fall!
LEAD
Angels can be pretty – angels can be good
And yet some of them are fallen and are hostile
Satan is an angel – Satan is no good
And he nullifies and waters down the Gospel
This is from Paul to all my
Friends in Galatia
Grace is above the law*
This is from Paul to all my
Friends in Galatia
Listen to Paul!
LEAD
Legalists are pretty – legalists are good
At dissolving all the progress that we started
They will soon regret it – we'll see where they stood
When they're underground and cut off and departed
REPEAT SECOND CHORUS
*NOTE: That doesn't mean Christians have a license to sin. As others
have put it, "Christ gave us freedom from sin, not freedom to sin.
1 John 2:1 sums it up this way: "My dear children, I write this to you
so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who
speaks to the Father in our defense – Jesus Christ, the Righteous One."
