Derek Webb, "A New Law"

Humbling and convicting, this song is:

“A New Law”
Derek Webb (formerly Caedman’s Call)

Don’t teach me about
politics and government;
Just tell me who to vote for.
Don’t teach me about
truth and beauty;
Just label my music.
Don’t teach me how
to live like a free man;
Just give me a new law.

I don’t want to know
if the answers aren’t easy.
So, just bring it down
from the mountain to me.
I want a new law.

Don’t teach me about
moderation and liberty;
I prefer a shot of grape juice.
Don’t teach me about
loving my enemies.
Don’t teach me how
to listen to the spirit;
Just give me a new law.

I don’t want to know
if the answers aren’t easy.
So, just bring it down
from the mountain to me.
I want a new law.

Cause, whats the use in trading
a law you can never keep
for one you can that can never get you anything.

Do not be afraid. Do not be afraid.
