Now some people, when you walk up and talk to them,
they wear this manufactured smile.
You can't tell if they're really happy, or
just trying to be in style.
You know it's like somebody told them,
only sinners never frown.
It ain't no crime for feeling down.
Now obedience, that means suffering.
And to some that may be news, Jesus paid a lifetime membership.
Yes he did, but you still gotta pay some dues.
So when all Job's comforters are standing around you,
and your prayers just seem refused.
Don't you lie about your troubles, don't you do it.
It ain't no sin to get the blue hands.
You can say you're doing fine, but there ain't nothing on your mind.
Denounce it, and deny it.
Stick your head down in the sand, try and make it like you're some kind of
superman.
But ain't nobody, nobody, really gonna buy it.
Cause everybody gotta suffer sometimes.
We all gotta work on our salvation on our own.
Jesus never told you, he said he'd never get a hold of you.
He said he'd never leave you all alone.
When you feel those tears start rolling,
don't you get yourself all confused.
Cause he'll dry those tears if you'll just cry on.
It ain't no sin to get the blues.
Now some folks, they really dig self-pity.
Others make it clear.
That if it were possible, they'd rewrite the epistles and the gospels.
So that nobody, nobody ever had to shed a tear.
But everybody gotta suffer sometimes.
We all gotta, all gotta, all gotta, all gotta work on our salvation on our
own.
Jesus never told you, he said he'd never get a hold of you.
He said he'd never leave you, he'd never leave you all alone.
So when you feel those tears start rolling,
don't you go and get yourself all confused.
Cause he'll dry those tears if you'll just go ahead and cry on.
It ain't no sin to get the blues.
He'll dry those tears if you'll just go ahead and cry on.
It ain't no sin to get the blues.
