| Some people are just like an automobile
|
| They’ll run fine when every thing is right
|
| When the roads are all clear and the weather is fine
|
| And there’s plenty of sunshine and light
|
| But often they come to a wash out
|
| And then get stuck and have to detour
|
| Maybe a break in the casting will prove
|
| They never were built to endure
|
| Get plenty of water and plenty of oil
|
| And the best gasoline you can find
|
| Have the engine tuned up and look out for your breaks
|
| You’ll have some hard places to climb
|
| Look out for the tires for the blowouts will come
|
| On a dangerous curve deep and neigh
|
| But if you’ll let Jesus take hold of the wheel
|
| You’ll make it to heaven on high
|
| Some auto’s are painted and polished so bright
|
| They sell for more than they are worth
|
| And some people think their profession
|
| Will do stop short of the bibles new birth
|
| Just start up your engine and then
|
| You can tell if the thing is hitting on six
|
| For if you depend on the looks of the car
|
| You’ll be in a terrible fix
|
| Now all our profession’s of powder and paint
|
| Though lovely upon the outside
|
| Won’t answer to God for He looks on the heart
|
| It matters not how hard we’ve tried
|
| So if you are stuck in the quicksand of sin
|
| And wondering and floundering about
|
| Just let God’s great engine of glory and grace
|
| With a cable of love pull you out
|
| Get plenty of water and plenty of oil
|
| And the best gasoline you can find
|
| Have the engine tuned up and look out for your breaks
|
| You’ll have some hard places to climb
|
| Look out for the tires for the blowouts will come
|
| On a dangerous curve deep and neigh
|
| But if you’ll let Jesus take hold of the wheel
|
| You’ll make it to heaven on high |
