It’s A Blessing, Not A God

Verse 1
Life is good you ought to see my golf game
The clubs I have are the very best you can buy
I’ve been spending lots of time
Playing on those emerald links
This game is my religion
So, hey what do you think?

Chorus
It’s a blessing not a god
I don’t know what you’re thinking of
You’re steering your boat,
but your rudder’s stuck in the sand bar
Give it up to Jesus Christ
Make your whole life twice a nice
It’s not the smile; it’s about the one who put it there

Verse 2
Morning paper talks about some lady
She wants to save the tree she’s living in
I’m sorry I don’t get it
I’m just a regular guy
But shouldn’t she be praising
The tree’s maker In the sky


Chorus
It’s a blessing not a god
I don’t know what you’re thinking of
You’re steering your boat,
but your rudder’s stuck in the sand bar
Give it up to Jesus Christ
Make your whole life twice a nice
It’s not the smile; it’s about the one who put it there

Bridge
Take a gift and shake it up
And stand it on its head
Treat it like a living god
And worship it instead

Chorus
It’s a blessing not a god
I don’t know what you’re thinking of
You’re steering your boat,
but your rudder’s stuck in the sand bar
Give it up to Jesus Christ
Make your whole life twice a nice
It’s not the smile; it’s about the one who put it there
It’s not the smile; it’s about the one who put it there
It’s not the smile; it’s about the one who put it there
