Lyrics
A New Way of Thinking
by Patrick W. Carr
blessed are the meek
turn the other cheek
live the golden rule, don?t call anyone a fool
and seek ye first the kingdom of the Lord
it was a new way of teaching no one ever taught before
and now all these things we've heard a thousand times or more
still nobody takes the time to understand
light of the world
salt of the earth
care for one another, but don?t just love your brother
don?t lay up your treasures on the earth
it was a new way of teaching no one ever taught before
now all these things we've heard a thousand times or more
still nobody takes the time to understand
God takes care of the lilies of the field
God takes care of the birds in the sky
men of little faith, who don?t have time to wait
don?t you think He?ll do the same for you
seek and you shall find
don?t throw your pearls before swine
who hears these words of mine
is like a man who builds his house on rock
it was a new way of teaching no one ever taught before
now all these things we've heard a thousand times or more
still nobody takes the time to understand
it was a new way of thinking no one ever thought before
now all these things we've heard a thousand times or more
still nobody takes the time to understand
nobody really takes the time to understand
