Said you're gonna be a preacher
But you became a business man
Said you're gonna own the whole world
And found out you can't
If only that money could buy a little more time
Before that ol' heaven here shortly arrives
You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to tow that line
You don't have to stay up late
Instead of spending time with you're wife
You don't have to burn the midnight oil
Or put in that elbow grease
You just gotta learn how to get down
Cause His love is free
It's free
Said you're gonna be a doctor
Cause you wanna heal people
Said your gonna be like Jesus
Outside the steeple
Fixing everyone but you never fixed yourself
Meanwhile everyone's out here
Just asking you for help
You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to tow that line
You don't have to stay up late
Instead of spending time with you're wife
You don't have to burn the midnight oil
Or put in that elbow grease
You just gotta learn how to get down
Cause His love is free
And you won't find it in a bottle
Or in your pride
Or in all the riches
That were only a disguise
And when you stand before Him
And feel the hole in His side
You'll see how much true love costs
It aint earned in this life
And He'll say He'll say
You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to tow that line
You don't have to stay up late
Instead of spending time with you're wife
You don't have to burn the midnight oil
Or put in that elbow grease
You just gotta learn how to get down
Cause His love is free
It's free
