Lyrics & Devotional Notes

Jesus Fuel

[print friendly version]

 

You don’t have to look far these days to find some magazine or newspaper  article or lifestyle programme about keeping yourself healthy and avoiding every sickness and condition from the common cold to heart disease, diabetes and overweight. All kinds of advice is given, some standard and some quite alternative. Most of the experts would agree that the basics for good health are a healthy diet, plenty of water, and sufficient and regular exercise and sleep. Great for this Earthly life but what about eternal life? Strangely very few recognise or mention spiritual food, what I call in this son, ‘Jesus Fuel’. How good would it be to see a lifestyle programme include this as one of the basics, even the most important of all? Let’s face it. There are lots of spiritual diseases out there ready to infect us, all threatening eternal death. And eternity is so much longer than this life. Matt 6:31-33, 1 Peter 2:2, Matt 4:4, Acts 20:32, John 6:35-40.

 

 

If you’re driving along and you run out of fuel

And your car stops dead.. you feel like a fool.

Everybody knows the golden rule;

You can’t get anywhere without some fuel.

 

If you start your day without food in your tummy

By the middle of the day you’re feeling kind of crummy

Everybody knows the golden rule;

You can’t get anywhere without some fuel.

You can’t get through your day without some fuel.

 

Refrain

Life’s in a rush, quite crazy it seems,

no time to find the time to do the right thing.

But don’t forget your priorities

Or you’ll find you’ll be crawling on your knees.

 

You can’t go through your day without drinking something wet

It’s no excuse to say you just forget

Everybody knows the golden rule;

You can’t get anywhere without some fuel.

You can’t get through your day without some fuel.

You won’t feel so good without some fuel.

                

 

If you go through the night without getting much sleep

By the middle of the day you’ll be feeling like a creep.

Everybody knows the golden rule;

You can’t get anywhere without some fuel.

You can’t get through your day without some fuel.

You won’t feel so good without some fuel.

You just won’t survive without some fuel.

 

Refrain

             

If you go through your day without Jesus in your life

And you get into trouble or you get into strife

It’s a bit like walking on the edge of a knife

without Jesus in your life.

              

If you go through your life with Jesus in your day

With a little bit of Bible and a little bit of pray

Fuel to keep you going along the way

Your life is gonna be OK

Your life is gonna be OK

 

Refrain X 2

 

There’s one thing in your life that’s without a doubt

Jesus is the fuel you can’t do without.

Everybody knows the golden rule;

You can’t get anywhere without Jesus fuel.

You can’t get through your day without Jesus fuel.

You won’t feel so good without Jesus fuel.

You just won’t survive without Jesus fuel.
