Play My Game Video (MV)

Last night I dreamed that Jesus appeared in front of me
I praised his holy name with joy and then I hit my knee
But he did not seem to impressed with all of my fanfare
Instead he shook his head, and gave me a troubled stare

He said you don't seem to understand my legacy
Cuz there's a lot more to it than just giving praise to me
I lived my life a certain way so you could understand
The Father put you all down here to lend a loving hand

So if you want to help me ease my pain
Then it's time for you to learn to play my game

Feed the hungry, clothe the naked
Heal the sick and help the poor
Teach your children, love your neighbor
That's what you were put here for
I showed you what to do, and then I died for you
So don't just praise my name, play my game

He said I know that you mean well but please stand up
I'm upset by what I've seen and I've finally had enough
And tears welled up inside my eyes, and then he disappeared
And I thought of all the people I've looked past in all my years

And though I gave myself a failing grade
I won't forget what he came down to say

Feed the hungry, clothe the naked
Heal the sick, and help the poor
Teach your children, love your neighbor
That's what you were put here for
I showed you what to do, and then I died for you
So don't just praise my name, play my game

When your turn comes around on judgment day
What you did for those around you goes a long, long way

Oh, I showed you what to do, and then I died for you
So don't just praise my name, play my game
Play his game
