about

I grew up in an evangelical system with some harmful beliefs that I no longer carry. Here's a song about it.

lyrics

Dirty Gospel

Oh it is time to finally lay it down
Let that curtain rip, so what’s lost can be found
And I know it’s hard to bring yourself to say
That you were wrong in so, so, so many ways

You say you’ve got the truth
But I’ve heard so many lies
And our ancestors thoughts
Could be as wrong as yours or mine
But One thing can never change
If God is love, then love is God, love is God

It’s okay if your daddy’s, daddy’s, daddy got it wrong

Ooo, ooo, ooo you better change your ways
Somebody’s gonna flip your (change)
Your tables (your ways)
Shut it down
Ooo, ooo, ooo preaching hate forgetting grace
That dirty gospel (change)
It’s so wrong (your ways)
Breathe out love, love, love, breath out love

Divide us in to tribes, you keep preaching a war
But you just can not erase, what lives at the core
Underneath every soul
Is the image of, the image of God
So come on now, give it up, give it up

Ooo, ooo, ooo you better change your ways
Somebody’s gonna flip your (change)
Your tables (your ways)
Shut it down
Ooo, ooo, ooo preaching hate forgetting grace
Stop that dirty gospel (change)
It’s so wrong (your ways)
Breathe out love, love, love
Breath out love oh yea

Oh it is time to finally lay it down, yea
Let that curtain rip so what was lost can finally
Be found

Ooo, ooo, ooo you better change your ways
Somebody’s gonna flip your (change)
Your tables (your ways)
Shut it down
Ooo, ooo, ooo preaching hate forgetting grace
Stop that dirty gospel (change)
It’s so wrong (your ways)
Breathe out love, breathe out love
Ooo, ooo, ooo you better change your ways
Somebody’s gonna flip your (change)
Your tables (your ways)
Shut it down, shut it down
Shut it down
Preaching hate forgetting grace
Stop that dirty gospel (change)
It’s all wrong (your ways)
Breathe out love, love, love,
Breathe out love, yea
It’s all love, love, love, love
LOVE
