Songs That Answer Questions - Gaither, Gaither Vocal Band

I don’t wanna spend my time a-writing songs that answer questions

That nobody’s even asking anyhow

When the house is burning to the ground

There’s just no time to stand around

Arranging all the pictures on the wall

I wanna spend my life a-giving folks the living water

And the bread of life they just can’t live without

Instead of spending all that time a-writing songs that answer questions

That nobody’s even asking anyhow

Don’t wanna spend my life a preaching sermons that give answers

To the questions no one’s asking anywhere

When there’s so much pain and hurting there’s no time to be searching

For the needles in the haystacks that aren’t there

I wanna spend my time a-wearing myself out for Jesus

With the news a cure’s been found to heal our land

Instead of making lists, inventing creeds that aren’t concerned with people’s

needs

I’ll show 'em how to touch the nail scarred hand

I don’t wanna spend my time praying prayers bombarding heaven

With requests to reign down fire on saints who care

In our methods we may differ, but if Christ the Lord we live for

May we not forget the enemy is out there

I wanna spend my life making my part of the body

Of the Savior work with smooth efficiency

One may be the knee, and one the toes, I’m the chin and I’m the nose

But listen, brother, we have need of these

I don’t wanna spend my time a-writing songs that answer questions

That nobody’s even asking anyhow

When the house is burning to the ground

There’s just no time to stand around

Arranging all the pictures on the wall

I wanna spend my life a-giving folks the living water

And the bread of life they just can’t live without

Instead of spending all that time a-writing songs that answer questions

That nobody’s even asking anyhow
