Music for Saturday: A little more Derek Webb


A New Law

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 wanna know if the answers aren’’t easy
so just bring it down from the mountain to me

i want a new law
i want a new law
just gimme that 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 wanna know if the answers aren’t easy
so just bring it down from the mountain to me

i want a new law
i want a new law
just gimme that new law

’cause what’’s the use in trading a law you can never keep
for one you can that cannot get you anything?
do not be afraid
do not be afraid
do not be afraid

  1. I really like this song too. My only problem is when we listen to it in the van, my 6 year old thinks he’s saying, “I want a new Lord” and I have to reexplain it every single time. 🙂
