Act Selfless (Parody of "Black Velvet") - ApologetiX

WHISPER

(«Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.

Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,

not looking to your own interests

but each of you to the interests of the others.»)

As He’s sitting in the midst of the disciples

Jesus rises with a little ol' surprise

Now He’s standin' with a basin full of water

He doesn’t set aside till the last one’s feet are dry

It was a strange new attitude in a king

‘Cause they saw their Lord, kneeling upon the floor

Act selfless — and then give a broad smile

Act selfless — and then go another mile

A new religion where the King is on His knees

Act selfless — if you please

Unpretentious and He woos us with His meek ways

Christ likes it when the proud decide to bow

Love your neighbor — it’s a hard, rough thing to do but

Love your enemies — it’s what Christ wants in us now

When we refuse it’s just a sin, so see it through

Always striving for pleasing your humble Lord

Act selfless — and ya did the Lord proud

Act selfless — ‘cause we’re all brothers now

A new religion that’ll bring ya inner peace

Act selfless — if you please

Yeah, the Word He left His throne and He came just for you

In the flesh He was God

His actions so proved

What should you do?

Leviticus 19: 18 «You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the

sons of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself;

I am the Lord.»

Act selfless -- when that bitter world’s vile

Act selfless when your soul suffers trials

A new religion where the strength goes to the weak

Act selfless — it’s unique

Act selfless — and the risen Lord smiles

Act selfless — and then you’re the Father’s child

A new religion — in Philippians 2 verse 3

Act selfless — if you believe

If you believe

Philippians 2: 3 «Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.

Rather, in humility value others above yourselves…»
