If I Could Tickle Ears

Lyrics with Chords


[chorus] If I could tickle ears, I’d be a very rich man.
If I could work a crowd, I’d be loved and called a hero.
If I tell you only what you want to hear,
If I have you sit at my feet, you’ll applaud and cheer.
But if I preach the truth your flesh doesn’t want to hear
Or if I insist that God speaks only to those with hearts to hear,
You’ll hate me and stop up your ears and run away
And gossip about me with your “brothers” on the way!

1. It’s not all that hard to stand over a crowd and play the religious expert.
It’s done three times a week all over the world.
But then what’s seen as being a real Christian is one who tells jokes and stories.
Not one who washes feet and lives his life only to do God’s will. [chorus]

2. You’ll know just what you are if you’re mad because I’ve kicked your sacred cow.
You’re a tare among the wheat no matter what you claim.
Until you surrender all you can only do what’s right in your own eyes
And build your own kingdom, making followers after yourself and your own lies. [chorus]

3. Don’t bother to invite me to your “church” to play your religious games
And don’t even expect me to sit at the feet of your man.
I won’t say yes to your doctrines or walk with you under your Nicolaitan ways.
But you’re always welcome to come by and just love me and to you I’ll do the same!

If I could tickle ears, I’d be a very poor man!

I’d love to hear comments and/or questions from you! Email me!
