Who Makes The Rules

Steven Curtis Chapman

Well, I’ve been watching us very close
And I guess the one thing that’s been bothering me the most
Is when I see us playing by the same rules that the world is using
Well, I’ve been listening to the things that we say
And I, I hear us mention words like fortune and fame
And it makes me wonder if we’re sure about the side we’re choosing
That’s why I’m asking you
Who makes the rules for me and you?
When it’s wrong or right, is it black and white?
Who makes the rules for me and you?
It’s our life at stake so we better know who makes the rules
Yeah, who makes the rules?
When I see people just like you and me
Trying to live out the pictures they see on TV
Gotta have a new car, new clothes, new love
When they get tired of trying
Well, I’ve been reading ‘bout a different way
Talking ‘bout dying to live and losing to gain

Seems like somebody’s telling us the truth and somebody’s lying
I wanna know who
Tell me, who makes the rules for me and you?
When it’s wrong or right, is it black and white?
Who makes the rules for me and you?
It’s our life at stake so we better know who makes the rules yeah
Two voices are calling out to you
You’re serving the one you’re listening to
So, tell me who, somebody tell me who
Who makes the rules?
Who makes the rules?
Who makes the rules for me and you?
When it’s wrong or right is it black and white?
Who makes the rules for me and you?
It’s our life at stake so we better let Jesus make the rules yeah oh
Oh yeah make the rules, makes the rules yeah
