Chorus: I don't wanna spend my time a-writing songs that answer questions That nobody's even asking anyhow When the house is burning to the ground There's just no time to stand around Arranging all the pictures on the wall I wanna spend my life a-giving folks the living water And the bread of life they just can't live without Instead of spending all that time a-writing songs that answer questions That nobody's even asking anyhow Verse 1: Don't wanna spend my life a preaching sermons that give answers To the questions no one's asking anywhere When there's so much pain and hurting there's no time to be searching For the needles in the haystacks that aren't there I wanna spend my time a-wearing myself out for Jesus With the news a cure's been found to heal our land Instead of making lists, inventing creeds that aren't concerned with people's needs I'll show 'em how to touch the nail scarred hand Verse 2: I don't wanna spend my time praying prayers bombarding heaven With requests to reign down fire on saints who care In our methods we may differ, but if Christ the Lord we live for May we not forget the enemy is out there I wanna spend my life making my part of the body of the Savior work with smooth efficiency One may be the knee, and one the toes, I'm the chin and I'm the nose But listen, brother, we have need of these Chorus: I don't wanna spend my time a-writing songs that answer questions That nobody's even asking anyhow When the house is burning to the ground There's just no time to stand around Arranging all the pictures on the wall I wanna spend my life a-giving folks the living water And the bread of life they just can't live without Instead of spending all that time a-writing songs that answer questions That nobody's even asking anyhow
