ApologetiX - Rocky Start lyrics

Parody of "Rockstar" performed by Nickelback (Matthew 7:24-27, 21:42; Luke 6:47-49, 1 Corinthians 3:9-15, Psalms 118:22-23, 1 Peter 2:4-8) I'm through with sand in my eyes because of weather and wind Seemed like a tropic paradise -- I remember movin' in This life hasn't turned out quite the way I thought it would be (Tell me what you want) I want a brand new house -- one that's never gonna drift Or collapse whenever the rains fall in And I think time's come to give up this sandbox dream (Yeah, so what you need) I need to get it started -- I'll begin it With a big flat layer of bedrock in it Gonna fortify my house like Matthew 7 counsels me (Built better, done right) I've got a new toolbox called the Word of God And I'll start on top of the Solid Rock Cause it's Extreme Human Makeover time for me (So how you gonna do it) I'm gonna change this life before it's in flames I'll even call Ty here to trade my space Cause we all just gotta get a big rocky start So we can build our house without a shifting yard It don't come easy, but it's dug down deep The walls stay standing and the steps won't creak And we'll hang tough in the cruelest storms When you see high winds on the news reports Every good homebuilder doesn't wind up scared Cause it's way more sturdy than the beach down there And, hey, hey, I'm gonna need a rocky start Hey, hey, I'm gonna need a rocky start I wanna build a great, white palace with stuff that lasts So I can make a Taj Mahal and not a big sandcastle Not with stubble, wood, or gra** just like in First Corinthians 3 (I'll have a casa de Dios, uh huh) I'm gonna bless my house with the greatest plans He said in John 14:2 there's plenty more mansions Decorate with silver, gold, and precious stones provided for me (So how you gonna do it?) I'm gonna change change this life before it's in flames I'll even call Ty here to trade my space REPEAT FIRST CHORUS And we'll wipe out all the private rooms Where we had addictions buried in their painted tombs I guess you never think this but in a while Everybody's gettin' dug deeper once we've died Well, hey, hey, I'm gonna need a rocky start I'm gonna seize that stone that the builders rejected Gonna pa** all codes when it gets inspected Let washed-up sinners try to mock my song They're sinkin' in the mire because they built it wrong REPEAT FIRST CHORUS & SECOND CHORUS Matthew 7:24-25 "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock."
