ALL PUFFED UP / GET THEE BEHIND ME

Lyrics by Stan C. Countz

IT’S NOT BY POWER; IT’S NOT BY MIGHT
IN THE FINAL HOUR IT MIGHT SOUND RIGHT
BUT THERE'S A WISDOM FROM ABOVE
AND A WISDOM FROM BELOW
IT’S A CINCH TO FIGURE OUT
IF YOU REALLY WANNA KNOW

THE WISDOM FROM BELOW WILL TRY TO STEAL THE SHOW
THE WISDOM FROM ABOVE IS ALWAYS FULL OF LOVE
DOES IT TEAR DOWN WALLS OR DOES IT BUILD ‘EM UP?
DOES IT GIVE TO ALL OR IS IT ALL PUFFED UP?

HE DOESN’T LIE; HE DOESN’T FUDGE
HE SEES THE END FROM THE START
HE DOESN’T JUDGE AS WE JUDGE
HE SEES THE INTENT OF THE HEART

THE WISDOM FROM ABOVE BRINGS THE PEACE OF A DOVE
THE WISDOM FROM BELOW IS ROTTEN BUT EASILY MISTAKEN
IF WE WALK IN LOVE WE WON'T BE FORGOTTEN OR FORSAKEN
THE WISDOM FROM ABOVE DOESN’T PUSH OR SHOVE
IT'S FOR GIVIN’ AND NOT FOR TAKIN’
GET THEE BEHIND ME SATAN...

THE WISDOM FROM ABOVE DOESN’T PUSH OR SHOVE
SAVING FAITH IS MEANT TO BE STIRRED BUT NOT SHAKEN
IT DOESN’T LIE OR FUDGE; IT DOESN’T HOLD A GRUDGE
IT’S NOT WHAT IT SEEMS TO BE; GET THEE BEHIND ME SATAN

DOES IT TEAR WALLS DOWN OR DOES IT BUILD 'EM UP?
DOES IT BRING US DOWN OR IS IT ALL PUFFED UP?
DOES IT TEAR WALLS DOWN OR DOES IT BUILD ‘EM UP?
DOES IT CAUSE TO ABOUND OR IS IT ALL PUFFED UP?

THE WISDOM FROM ABOVE IS FOR GIVIN' AND FOR LOVE
SAVING FAITH IS MEANT TO BE STIRRED BUT NOT SHAKEN
IT DOESN’T PUSH OR SHOVE; IT DOESN’T HOLD A GRUDGE
IT’S NOT WHAT IT SEEMS TO BE; GET THEE BEHIND ME SATAN

DOES IT BUILD ‘EM UP? OR IS IT ALL PUFFED UP?
DOES IT SUCK YOU DRY OR DOES IT FILL YOUR CUP?
DOES IT TEAR WALLS DOWN OR DOES IT BUILD THEM UP?
DOES IT BRING US DOWN OR IS IT ALL PUFFED UP?
