Inside Look - Russ Taff

He had such good intentions

High finance dreams

Gonna build the kingdom

Doing his gospel thing

Now he’s learning to talk

A real good game

He knows all the right cliches

But good intentions don’t get his quota inside

When did it start to change?

Compromise for the dollar’s sake?

Have you really taken an inside look?

Are you hearing what your actions say?

Have you really taken an inside look?

Do you think that God would do it that way?

Now he sits behind a big oak desk

And he’s talking on the phone

Spinning wheels, making deals

Just see how far he’s come

He says he hasn’t really changed

It’s all for the sake of the dream

Just doing what he has to do

The end justifies the means

Cause when push comes to shove

You better look out for number one

Repeat Chorus

Oh Lord, don’t let us waste our lives

Trying to build self-serving dreams

Religious schemes

And Lord, don’t let us fool ourselves

Hiding what we really mean

Honesty

Lord, help us see integrity
