You're only cheatin' yourself by ignoring God's will!
Original '80s Gospel Rock Music
With close lead harmonies and keyboards provided by sisters Peggy Crawford and Tina Jackson we spread the Word in song throughout the '70s and '80s in Southern California.
Story behind the song
This track features a great bass line recorded by our 'original' bass player (from the His Seed days), Gary Leacock, who also happens to be Peggy's and Tina's cousin.
Lyrics
Your Mama always made you, go to Sunday school
'N Daddy, well he taught you, 'bout the Golden Rule
But still a battle rages in your soul today
The Good 'n Bad are fightin' both to have their way
You, you're in the middle, can't decide what's Right
Put Jesus on your side, yeah you can win the fight
Chorus:
Cheatin', you're only cheatin' yourself
Cheatin', by puttin' your love on the shelf
Cheatin' your hurtin' yourself 'n nobody, nobody else
Nobody else now...
Ya tell me, that you can't live, by the rules
Your parents are too strict, so now you think they're, you think they're fools
You try to do it your way, but it always seems
That havin's never ever good as wantin' things
Ain't nothin' ever satisfied a life of sin
'Cept Jesus in your heart, He'll give you Peace within
repeat Chorus
So take some time 'n listen, to that still small voice
Then read the Word He's written and then make the Choice
To know the Peace 'n Joy that only God can bring
Or go on the way you are, go off 'n do your thing
But there is only One, when He turns out the lights
Who'll take you to His home in Heaven on High
repeat Chorus
repeat Chorus
repeat
