Who Gives A Damn? Well a man went down to Jericho so the holy book doth say Who gives a damn?

Little Billy Got The Fever Little Billy got to thinking ‘bout the world he knew Some people didn’t like the things that Billy came and said He got the fever, he got the fever Little Billy got to thinking he was made for this, He went and did his best and it was good enough Higher Every single one of you has come here today Good news for you my brother and sister The words of life I come to bring Scars He was thinking of a land so far away that it seemed more like a dream They took away their language, they stole away their land He said I bring forgiveness, he said I bring you peace Its Friday Now But Sunday’s Comin' They followed him for three some years Its Friday now but Sunday’s comin' They took the heat from powers that be They feared that this would be the end There Endeth The Lesson On a cold and grey Chicago morn’ A young man came up later on his head was hanging low There endeth the lesson baby, there endeth the lesson A tough guy spat into my face and said his soul was lost
Who Gives a Damn
Some scumbags set upon him as he went upon his way
No priest or Levite helped him out, no other holy man
But that much despised Samaritan, he stopped and gave a damn
Who gives a damn? We give a damn
Who gives a damn? We give a damn
We need people who will give a damn
They’d taken all his money, his credit cards and shirt
Those robbers they took everything before they up and ran
That scorned, reviled Samaritan
Still stopped and gave a damn
Guns still killing innocents and bombs fall from the air
So tell me how you live with this ‘cos I’m not sure I can
Mark 12:30-31 says you need to give a damnGod Loves You
But his countenance remained with me he looked like death and shame
He saw my holy vestments
He looked me in the eye
He said, Preacher where will my soul go on the day that I should die?
God loves you Son
That’s all I got for now
God loves you Son
God loves you Son
God loves you anyhow
I got no job now anyways and all my money's spent
I shot a little in my arm I poured some in my glass
I spent the rest at a chicken ranch I didn’t say I had much class
Live a life of faith and hope and love just like the good book says
And tho' this grace is free to you
You should listen to what I say
You may be a no good son of a bitch but God loves you anywayBlind Leading the Blind
We got the blind, leading the blind
We got the blind, leading the blind
It’s no wonder that we all got lost
Or can’t afford a doctor for their heart attack
But some guy pays a million for an artifact
No wonder that we all got lost
We got people robbed of every single hope and dream
Watching all the fat cats licking up the cream
It’s no wonder that we all got lost
We’re drilling holes and cutting down the flowers and trees
We should be begging for forgiveness on our bended knees
No wonder that we all got lost
Preachers want your money every cent and dime
You wont find that in Jesus’ teaching and you won’t in mine
It’s no wonder that we all got lost

from Rev Sam & The Outcasts., released April 2, 2021You are Loved You are Accepted
I got a couple of things to tell you and I want to make it all loud and clear
So come on back into the real world and set your ass down over here
You are loved you are accepted
You are loved you are accepted
You are loved you are accepted
You are loved you are accepted
You are loved
But I know that you're too smart to let that garbage filter into your head
So here’s something else to chew on that just might do you some good instead
And if you hate yourself it wont belong until you start to spread it around
So after many years of searching well let me tell you what I've found.In the name of the Father
The great serpent of old who was called
Satan and the devil he deceives the whole world he was thrown down
And his angels were thrown down with him.
Everybody in the bar room everybody in the street
Every father’s daughter
Every mother’s son
We got a tale to tell you
Every single one
We are saying to you 'Satan, your work is done'
In the name of the Father in the name of the Spirit in the name of the Son.
If you've been thinking of hanging from a rope
It’ a story of mercy no matter what you've done
It’s the story of new life in the holy one
We are saying to you 'Satan, your work is done'
In the name of the Father in the name of the Spirit in the name of the Son.
Gonna tell him king Jesus is sitting on his throne
The devil’s army's outnumbered bout two to one
It’s always been that way, since he done what he done
We are saying to you Satan, your work is done
In the name of the Father in the name of the Spirit in the name of the Son.
Because me and these people have come to realize
To live is Jesus to die is gain
So you are fettered in Jesus’ name
So we’re saying to you Satan, your work is done
In the name of the Father in the name of the Spirit in the name of the Son.
You better listen, you've had your fun
In the name of the Father in the name of the Spirit in the name of the Son.
You’ve scored some battles, but the victory’s won
In the name of the Father in the name of the Spirit in the name of the Son.
You best pay attention your time has come
In the name of the Father in the name of the Spirit in the name of the Son.Little Billy got the Fever
Why were we treating other people like scum?
He felt it burning deep inside him and he had to act
He had to find a way to over come
They didn’t like the things he started to do
He said ‘Boys you can choose to look the other way
But you can’t say that you never knew’
He got the fever, burning in his soul
Inconceivable that he would get bored,
To fight against the system that denies that every man
And every woman is a child of the Lord
To set a generation free
He said ‘I’m way too young to think that it’s impossible,
So how you gonna stop a cat like me’Higher
In the hope that you will hear good news
About your eternal soul
Well I have good news. I bring great tidings of great joy!
You are not owned by the devil, you are not possessed by the dark
You are a child of God, you are child of God!
Great tidings of joy for Miss and Mr
It’s the gospel truth so don't resist it
A brand new life why would you miss it?
Peace on earth goodwill to all
When your life gets tough here's the one to call on
He's a friend in need when you drop the ball
Remember when you're low and when you fall, fall, fall, fall
Lift him higher
To glorify the servant king
And hear your voices gladly bring
For that prodigal child a coat and a ring
For thus it is and so shall be
We shall sing for all eternity
The demons tremble
The devils flee
In the name, of the man from Galilee
Lift him higherScars
Than in his peaceful village some men he'd never seen
They chained him to his brother took him where he don't belong
He had scars on his back that the whip had made but he didn't do anything wrong.
He had the scars on his back that the whip had made
Scars on his back that the whip had made
Scars on his back that the whip had made
He didn't do anything wrong
They said both men and women must obey their new commands
They even tried to stop the poor from singing out their songs
They had scars on their back that the whip had made but they didn't do anything wrong.
They had scars on their back that the whip had made
Scars on their back that the whip had made
Scars on their back that the whip had made
But they didn't do anything wrong
He said he brought us hope that one day all our tears would cease
Love God and love your brother, do your best to get along
He had scars on his back that the whip had made but he didn't do anything wrong.
He had the scars on his back that the whip had made
Scars on his back that the whip had made
Scars on his back that the whip had made
But didn't do anything wrongIt's Firday Now but Sunday Comin
Miles and miles blood sweat and tears
They listened to the things he said
But Friday’s come and now he's dead
All glory to the Lord
They believed that maybe he
Might be the one where truth is found
But now they've laid him in the ground
No one was there to lend a hand
Their hopes were nailed up on that tree
Was he a saviour? guess we’ll seeThere Endeth the Lesson
A woman came my way
Mascara ran down from her eyes,
As I heard what she'd to say
They do not like the way I look
or how I have been dressin'
I said God looks only at the heart and there endeth the lesson
I’ve been a bad boy preacher man but I've no place else to go
With God’s help can I change my ways, that’s what he was confessin'
I said God forgives your sorry ass there endeth the lesson
When it come to your eternal soul there ain’t no room for guessin’
No separation from the love of this One we’re addressin'
Apology accepted baby and there endeth the lesson.
The debt he owed was much too great no one could pay the cost
I told him we're all lost like sheep but listen for the blessin'
The shepherd left the flock for you and there endeth the lesson.
