Now some people
When you walk up and talk to 'em
They wear this manufactured smile
You can't tell if they're really happy
Or just tryin' to be in style
Ya know it's like somebody told 'em
Only sinners have a frown
Hey, but when you're really hurtin'
It ain't no crime for bein' down
Now, obedience
That means sufferin'
And to some, that maybe news
Jesus paid our lifetime membership
But ya still gotta pay some dues
So when all Job's comforters
Are standin' round you
And your prayers just seem refused
Don't ya lie about your troubles
It ain't no sin, to get the blues
Now, some folks they really dig self pity
But others make it clear
That if it were possible
They'd rewrite the epistles and the apostles
So that, nobody, nobody, nobody ever had to shed a tear
But everybody gotta suffer sometimes
We all gotta work out our salvation on our own
Jesus never told ya,
He'd a-never got a hold o' you
He said, I'll never leave ya, never leave you all alone
So when you feel those tears start rollin'
Don't you go and get yourself all confused
Cause He'll dry those tears if you just go ahead and cry 'em
It ain't no sin, to get the blues
Now, you can say you're doin' fine
Say there's nothin' on your mind
Denounce it and deny it
Stick your hand out into sin
Try to make out like you're some kind o' superman
But ain't nobody, nobody, nobody really gonna buy it
Cause everybody gotta suffer sometimes
We all got to work out,to work out, to work out our salvation on our own
Jesus never told ya,
He'd a-never got a hold o' you
He said, I'l never, never leave you all alone
So when you feel those tears start rollin'
Don't you go and get yourself all confused
Cause He'll dry those tears if you just go ahead and cry 'em
It ain't no sin, to get the blues
Dry those tears, if you just go ahead and cry 'em
It ain't no sin, to get the blues
