The Newsboys - Real Good Thing
from the album "Going Public"
When we don’t get what we deserve
That’s a real good thing
When we get what we don’t deserve
That’s a real good thing
Born to sin
And then get caught
All our good deeds
Don’t mean squat
Sell the Volvo
Shred the Visa
Sent the cash to Ma Teresa
Great idea
The only catch is
You don’t get saved
On merit badges
When we don’t get what we deserve
That’s a real good thing
When we get what we don’t deserve
That’s a real good thing
Doctor’s coming
Looking grim
“Do you have a favorite hymn?”
Check your balance through the years
All accounts are in arrears
Guilt is bitter
Grace is sweet
Park it here
On the mercy seat
When we don’t get what we deserve
That’s a real good thing
When we get what we don’t deserve
That’s a real good thing
