"Yeah But"



Yeah But

No "yeah buts" in God's Kingdom;
God said it, it is true:
If written in the Bible
Then the promise is for you.
 
No "yeah buts" from believers;
We're sheep not billy goats.
Don't be wishy washy Christians;
Cast aside all doubt.
 
Don't "yeah but" what God's spoken;
He'll never lie to you.
God's willing to perform all things
That He said He'll do.
 
 Don't hinder Him through unbelief,
Insulting the living God;
And question His integrity
As if He would defraud.
 
Believe it and receive it;
Accept those things you've heard:
As proclaimed in the Scriptures,
Christ is the living Word.

 
 
 Mark 6:5-6
And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.
And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.
 

John 1:1-3
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
