Real Good Thing

When we don't get what we deserve

That's a real good thing, a real good thing

When we get what we don't deserve

That's a real good thing, a real good thingBorn to sin and then get caught

All our good deeds, don't mean squat

Sell the Volvo, shred the Visa

Send the cash to Ma Theresa

Great idea, the only catch is

You don't get saved on merit badgesWhen we don't get what we deserve

That's a real good thing, a real good thing

When we get what we don't deserve

That's a real good thing, a real good thingDoctor's coming, looking grim

"Do you have a favorite hymn?"

Check your balance through the years

All accounts are in arrears

Guilt is bitter, grace is sweet

Park it here on the mercy seatWhen we don't get what we deserve

That's a real good thing, a real good thing

When we get what we don't deserve

That's a real good thing, a real good thingWhen we don't get what we deserve

That's a real good thing, a real good thing

When we get what we don't deserve

That's a real good thing, a real good thingWhen we don't get what we deserve

That's a real good thing, a real good thing

When we get what we don't deserve

That's a real good thing, a real good thing
