Parody Lyrics by Randall Hyde

(Verse 1)
I thought God was just a real big fairy tale.
Meant for someone else but not for me.
Ah, God was out to get me,
seemed to be his plan.
So He came to Earth as mortal man.

(Chorus)
'Cause He took my place, now I'm a believer.
Saved by grace, no doubt in my mind.
By God's love, oh, I'm a believer
I've got the fever, I'm on fire.

(Verse 2)
I'd thought Christ was just a part of history.
It never seemed to matter much to me.
His story I'm not buying,
It seemed to be a strain.
That He bought salvation with his pain.

(Chorus)
'Cause He took my place, now I'm a believer.
Saved by grace, no doubt in my mind.
By God's love, oh, I'm a believer
I've got the fever, I'm on fire.

(Verse 3)
You don't get there by trying.
By works you can't obtain,
everlasting life in His domain.

(Chorus)
'Cause He took my place, now I'm a believer.
Saved by grace, no doubt in my mind.
By God's love, oh, I'm a believer
I've got the fever, I'm on fire.
