Said you're gonna be a preacher

But you became a business man

Said you're gonna own the whole world

And found out you can't

If only that money could buy a little more time

Before that ol' heaven here shortly arrives

You don't have to try so hard

You don't have to tow that line

You don't have to stay up late

Instead of spending time with you're wife

You don't have to burn the midnight oil

Or put in that elbow grease

You just gotta learn how to get down

Cause His love is free

It's free

Said you're gonna be a doctor

Cause you wanna heal people

Said your gonna be like Jesus

Outside the steeple

Fixing everyone but you never fixed yourself

Meanwhile everyone's out here

Just asking you for help

You don't have to try so hard

You don't have to tow that line

You don't have to stay up late

Instead of spending time with you're wife

You don't have to burn the midnight oil

Or put in that elbow grease

You just gotta learn how to get down

Cause His love is free

And you won't find it in a bottle

Or in your pride

Or in all the riches

That were only a disguise

And when you stand before Him

And feel the hole in His side

You'll see how much true love costs

It aint earned in this life

And He'll say He'll say

You don't have to try so hard

You don't have to tow that line

You don't have to stay up late

Instead of spending time with you're wife

You don't have to burn the midnight oil

Or put in that elbow grease

You just gotta learn how to get down

Cause His love is free

It's free
