In 2nd Kings 5, Elisha the man of God had told Naaman that he did NOT want any money for healing him of deadly leprosy. In verse 15, Naaman responded by joyfully saying “Indeed, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, except in Israel; now therefore, please take a gift from your servant.” But Elisha] said no thank you, and left with his servant Gehazi. But Gehazi returned secretly to tell Naaman that Elisha had changed his mind and wanted money for the healing that YHWH God had done. Gehazi reasoned to himself that HE could get some money easily, so he lied and said that Elisha now wanted 2 talents of silver and two changes of garments. Naaman gladly gave it. Gehazi snuck back to where Elisha was. Elisha asked him, e men go, and they departed. 25 Now he went in and stood before his master. Elisha said to him, “Where did you go, Gehazi?” And [Gehazi] said, “Your servant did not go anywhere.” But God revealed to Elisha that Gehazi was lying.... and put upon Gehazi the same deadly leprosy from which God had healed Naaman.

In Matthew 27, Judas realizes – too late – that lies that he convinced HIMSELF to believe about Jesus being fake... had led to him betraying an innocent man. “  .......

================================

LYRICS Story:     

Lyrics were written a year before the music as an actual prayer -- FEARFUL that I too might easily betray God with a selfish heart unless He helps me -- while I was studying the Acts story and remembering the tale of greedy Gehazi. The LORD gave me the idea to put these histories together as a united prayer in a song.

*This song reminds: God LETS us choose SATAN; either God or Satan IS our master.

LYRICS    

CHORUS

Thrilled to “Get out of HELL free”,  with these words – only 3 –

said out loud, “I'm sorry” … Then you're forgiven! (you THINK ).

“CHEAP GRACE”  cares only about “ME”. CHEAP GRACE is Satan's Best Deceit.

CHEAP GRACE    thinks, just say 3 words,  and with them you force God our LORD

to forget all you've done...   <CHEAP GRACE>  does not CARE that God is deeply grieved.

“CHEAP GRACE” cares only about “ME”. CHEAP GRACE is Satan's Best Deceit.

8 measure INTERLUDE in E minor, then BRIDGE:

BRIDGE – then 4 measure INTERUDE in Em

Satan whispers sweetly: “You KNOW that God loves you! Why,

NO father would let his child grow up, and choose hell.” Satan says:

“Ignore warnings in that Bible Book! ENJOY LIFE! God's GRACE is Free & CHEAP! Get

outta hell with 3 words you speak”, whispers Satan, “Just pray, 'Hey, God, I'm Sorry' ! ”

VERSE 1

You were bought at HIGH price, though God made you as His own. When

you chose SIN over God's will, then to Satan you were sold.

Sold NOT by God, but by YOU, 

           to the Master you PICKED:  …... Satan.   

Not saved 'til you repent – TURNED to God, and

admit Jesus ONLY could pay your HIGH price: Never CHEAP.

4 measure INTERLUDE in E minor, then BRIDGE music with scriptures (Bridge not sung) :

After Verse 1: Romans 5: 6- 10  “When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. 7 Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. 8 But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. 9 And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation. 10 For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son.”

======================================================================================================

.

VERSE 2

You were bought at HIGH price, God's Son Jesus PAID His Life, as

the only sacrifice that PAID the Demands of God's Law –

that SOMEONE Pay for Laws you've broke. And we call this gift of Jesus >> GRACE.

Not saved 'til you repent – TURNED to God, and

admit Jesus ONLY could pay your HIGH price: Never CHEAP.

4 measure INTERLUDE in E minor, then BRIDGE music with scriptures (Bridge not sung) :

After Verse 2 - First Corinthians 6:20 and 7:23. “For you were bought at a price; therefore

glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” … “You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.”

Hebrews 10:26-29. Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, & have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common & unholy, & have insulted & disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God’s mercy to us.

======================================================================================================

.

VERSE 3

You were bought at HIGH price, God in Love offers for free.

But His Free Grace is NOT CHEAP! as you'll hear Satan tempt  you to believe:

First Corinthians 6, Hebrews 10: 26, Satan wants you to INSULT

God's EXPENSIVE Grace.

Not saved 'til you repent – TURNED to God, and

admit Jesus ONLY could pay your HIGH price: Never CHEAP.

4 measure INTERLUDE in Em, then BRIDGE music with scriptures (Then continue to chorus)

After Verse 2 - Jeremiah 3, 12, 24 (NLT): “LORD, you are searching for honesty. You struck your people, but they paid no attention. You crushed them, but they refused to be corrected. They are determined, with faces set like stone; they have refused to repent.... They have lied about the LORD and said, 'He won’t bother us!' .. They do not say from the heart, ‘Let us live in awe of the LORD our God, for He gives us rain each spring and fall, assuring us of a harvest when the time is right.’ .... Back to Jeremiah 5:5a's warning: “But the leaders, too, as one man,

had thrown off God’s yoke [ Law ] & broken His chains.”

Matthew 11: 28-30, JESUS said: “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you & learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

======================================================================================================

.

CHORUS (repeated at end of song)

Thrilled to “Get out of HELL free”, with these words – only 3 –

said out loud, “I'm sorry” … Then you're forgiven! (you THINK).

“CHEAP GRACE” cares only about “ME”. CHEAP GRACE is Satan's Best Deceit.

CHEAP GRACE thinks, just say 3 words, and with them you force God our LORD

to forget all you've done... does not CARE that God is deeply grieved.

“CHEAP GRACE”   cares only about “ME”. 

 CHEAP GRACE   is Satan's Best Deceit. 

BRIDGE

8 measure INTERLUDE in E minor, then BRIDGE:   BASED ON JOHN 10:10, Satan the Destroyer

Satan whispers sweetly: “You 

KNOW that God loves you! Why,

NO father would let his child grow 

up, .... and choose hell.” Satan says:

“Ignore warnings in that Bible Book! 

 ENJOY LIFE! God's GRACE is Free & CHEAP! Get

outta hell with 3 words you speak”, whispers 

Satan, “Just pray, 'Hey, God, I'm Sorry' ! ”

God's SUPPORTING WORDS:   
2 Corinthians 11:14   
Satan, their master, can disguise himself as an angel of light.

Matthew 6:24 and Luke 16:13 (NLT), Jesus is speaking:
“No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; <or>
you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

LYRICS    

MOVEMENT 1

VERSE  1 

EVE was deceived, gladly BELIEVED The Lie.

Eve, by her Choice agreed that “Yes, God's Word lied.”

VERSE  2 

Adam was happy to believe that Snake's Lie.

Like Eve, by his Choice agreed that “Yes, God's Word lied.”

First   INTERLUDE   =  Verse 3 of Mighty Fortress Is Our God”
SUNG    
Though this world with devils filled should     
threaten to undo  us,  We
SHALL  NOT  fear, for God has willed His
TRUTH  to TRIUMPH ---- THROUGH us.  The
“Prince of Darkness” grim... we tremble NOT for him!
His rage we CAN endure.  For LO, his DOOM is sure! …. God's
ONE  LITTLE Word  shall FELL him!



God's SUPPORTING WORDS: 
SPOKEN:   GOD  thru Paul, in  2nd  Corinthians 11: 3-4 tells us,
“But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness,
so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he who     comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a
different spirit... or a different gospel...—you may well put up with it!” – 

VERSE   3  
WE're  often deceived,  preferring Satan's lies,  when
we claim  “translators goofed”   and  “God's Word lies.”
VERSE  4  
People are DECEIVED by Satan's  Favorite Lie,  saying
“Genesis  is a MYTH”,    that   “Jesus's  words re Satan lied”.    >>

2nd   INTERLUDE               
SUNG   
Though this world with devils filled should    
threaten to undo  us,  We
SHALL  NOT  fear, for God has willed His
TRUTH  to TRIUMPH ---- THROUGH us.  The
“Prince of Darkness” grim... we tremble NOT for him!
His rage we CAN endure.  For LO, his DOOM is sure! …. God's
ONE  LITTLE Word  shall FELL him!

God's SUPPORTING WORDS: 
SPOKEN:   GOD  thru Deuteronomy 29:19-20 warns us to not be like this person:
“... he blesses himself in his heart, saying, ‘I shall have peace,
even though I follow the dictates of my heart’— … The LORD would not
spare him;      for then the anger of the LORD and His jealousy would burn
against that man, and every curse that is written in this book would settle on him.” 
 

MOVEMENT 2
VERSE   5
In the Garden,  Eve probably found  much self Pride,  thinking
she had thought that Snake's words through,  thought her belief on them was Truth.
Eve chose to decide to  CHOOSE THE LIE,     filled with
Pride that forgot all the  EVIDENCE  that  GOD  NEVER   LIES.
    HOLY  God  Can't  Lie!
 
VERSE   6
Maybe Adam was embarrassed, felt  loss of Pride   after
Eve came up with that Snake's  thought,  and first realized that there were thoughts
besides God's..... Adam chose to doubt God.    Filled with
Pride,  he ignored  all the  EVIDENCE  that  GOD  NEVER   LIES.  
    HOLY  God  Can't  Lie!    




CHORUS
Why do we  “modern people”  still fall for Satan's  OLD  lies?   And
still with Pride decide  to  IGNORE ALL  the EVIDENCE   that
verifies:    The Bible matches the LOGIC-al   Truths  of God ! …  ??

 
VERSE  7
When we people are deceived,  often it is our Pride  that led
us  to start to trust our own thoughts,  call them “Logic”,  though they conflict
with God's  OFTEN-PROVED Truth  Bible words.    We must
with Honesty  admit  FAITH sees that  GOD  NEVER   LIES.   
    HOLY  God  Can't  Lie!
 
VERSE  8
Like in any part of or our lives,  we need  experts beyond our mind:  Who know
more than us, and will GUIDE us..... GOD has PROMised us ...  WISDOM.... when
we ask:    See  James 1:5,   and John 14's end:  God will HELP you understand
    all the  LOGIC  that you need to see that GOD  NEVER   LIES.   
                    HOLY  God  Can't  Lie!            >> CHORUS (above)



 God's SUPPORTING WORDS:
FINAL SCRIPTURES
GOD: “For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your diviners who are in your midst deceive you, nor listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed.  For they prophesy falsely to you in My name; I have not sent them, says the LORD. ”  – Jeremiah 29:8-9, BEFORE the oft quoted beloved vss 11-14.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

LYRICS Story:     

I've sometimes felt sorry for Eve: She probably FELT that since Adam was first, maybe “God loves him more”. So I've wondered, as this song shows:  

DID EVE GET EXCITED thinking she found WISDOM that SHE could teach to Adam??? …. 

Pride, yes. SIN, yes. But the same excuse maybe that MANY of us have when we 

start falling for all the “NEW” teachings that God thru Paul warned us about.  

2nd Peter 2:1. “...... there will be false teachers AMONG you, who will 

     secretly bring in destructive heresies, 

           even denying  the Lord who bought them....”

Yet another song empowered by God... Ephesians 3:20-21 for HIS Glory.
