I thought God was only Jewish fairy tales Meant for someone else with lots more faith all my doubts oppressed me-but that's the way it stayed Till a voice said, "Honey, call My name" Then I got His grace--now I'm a receiver God replaced--the doubt in my mind--I've been loved (ooh, aah) I'm a receiver--got the Redeemer in my life I thought God was more impressed with givin' things He said, "Boy, I gave the best I got "What's the use in strivin'? All your dept is paid Didn't leave a punch-line on My grave" Then I got His grace - now I'm a receiver Got a place--a palace on high--up above I'm a receiver--I'm gonna be there if I die
What's the use in strivin'? all your debt is paid Check out Romans 10:9--I got saved When I got his grace--now I'm a receiver Mama says--I'm out of my mind--I've been touched (ooh, aah) I'm a receiver--I got Ephesians 2:8,9 Then I got His grace--now I'm a receiver Not afraid---about when I die Now I'm a receiver, of the Redemer, better believer, yeah, yeah yeah! Now I'm a receiver-- 'cuz I got his grace. Now I'm a receiver-- not afreaid to shout it on high.
