ApologetiX - Goodnews

Copied!

{Intro (spoken)}
(Everybody, if you're tryin' to be saved, it's not by works – it's by grace)

{Verse 1}
Been workin' – so hard
You're under – the law
Hey now – those laws
Won't help you come to God

{Pre-Chorus 1}
I've got this feelin' – what I just told ya you doubt
I'll bet Ephesians 2:8 will clear up this now

{Chorus 1}
Now I gotta tell you – good news
It's not just Sunday pews
Please – you need – to only trust and believe
Jack, it's fact – comes from the Book that's black
You – could use
Everybody loves good news

{Verse 2}
Your fate is – so cruel
Obeyin' every rule
But way down in your heart
You're fallin', fallin' so short

{Pre-Chorus 2}
Somebody should tell you – that life is a pass or fail ride
I'vе tryin' tell you – you'll fail if you don't believе in Christ
You could die

{Chorus 2}
But you know there's good news
For you
It's not just some big ruse
Ooh ee – it's free – check Galatians part three
Oh, I know – how those commandments go
You could use
Everybody loves good news

{Bridge}
Got good news (Oh!) – God's good news (Oh!)
Got good news (Oh!) – God's good news (Oh!)

Got to turn it around
Get your faith off the ground
God's grace will pull ya through
Ahhhhhhhhh
I'm tellin' you the truth!

{Chorus 3}
Good news
It's not just Sunday pews
Please – you need – (to) only trust and believe
Jack, it's fact – comes from the Book that's black
You – could use
Everybody loves good news (good news)
Good news (good news)
It's not just Sunday pews
Please – you need – (to) only trust and believe
Jack, it's fact – comes from the Book that's black
You – could use
Everybody loves, everybody loves
Everybody loves, everybody loves
Everybody loves, everybody loves
Everybody loves good news

The catchy chorus and upbeat tempo make this song a joyous celebration of the good news of the Gospel.

Biography

edit bio

ApologetiX (That Christian Parody Band), located in Pittsburgh, PA, was founded in 1992. In the song “We’re in a Parody Band”, ApologetiX refers to itself as a cross between “Weird Al” Yankovic and Billy Graham.

ApologetiX rewrites secular songs with Christian lyrics. They get their unusual name from the word “apologetics”, which means “the defense of the Christian faith.” It is based on the Greek word for defense, “apologia”. The word is used in 1 Peter 3:15, “But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer (defense or "apologia”) to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect…“ (NIV). Their logo, a triquetra, is an ancient symbol of the Holy Trinity.
