Parody of "Listen to the Music" performed by the Doobie Brothers and
written by Tom Johnston
(Psalms 66:1, 81:1, 95:1-2, 96:1, 98:4-6, 100:1, 105:43, 118:15;
Romans 8:18, 12:2; 2 Corinthians 4:17)
Don't you feel as though if we're saved by grace
People shouldn't really get the blues
But it happens – some are sad
Oh, and honey that's the dues we pay
What the people need is to make a joyful shout
To take those heartsick blues and use those sounds
To propagate the message in the Good News
Don't cry, mama, ‘cause we're heaven bound
Ohhh ... Let's redo the music
Ohhh ... Let's redo the music
Ohhh ... Let's renew the music
Of your mind
Well I know you learn better when we sing and play
Even if it's country or reggae
We'll be happy to revamp
All the numbers that we used to play
If that deal sounds good to you
And you really do believe
Then, my brothers, if you do behave
We can put in some rhyme
Oh, maybe, turn the blues to praise
Ohhh ... Let's redo the music
Ohhh ... Let's redo the music
Ohhh ... Let's renew the music
Of your mind
I can praise the Lord forever
We're bound for mansions in the sky
And the time is drawing nearer
Listen, we don't have much time
To be sad so let's not cry
Ohhh ... Let's redo the music
Ohhh ... Let's redo the music
Ohhh ... Let's renew the music
Of your mind
