Hymn for the Dudes lyrics

God ain't jive, for I can see his love
As it runs alive
One by one, through fields of rusted wire
The war has just begun

Oh, cross over shame
Like the wise dove
Who cares not for fame
Just for shy love

And rejoice for the king
Ain't lost his throne, oh no
He's still here
You are not alone

Correct your heads for there's a new song rising
High above the waves
Go write your time, go sing it on the streets
Go tell the world but you go brave

Oh my sweet instant Christian
You are such a sly clown
Too many questions
No replies now

And rejoice for the king
Ain't lost his throne, oh no
He's still here
You are not alone

I've got an idea, go tell the superstar
All his hairs are turning gray
Star spangled fear
As all the people disappear

The limelight fades away
'Cause if you think you are a star
For so long they'll come from near and far
But you'll forget just who you are

You ain't the nazz
You're just a buzz
Some kinda temporary

Cross over shame
Like the wise dove
Who cares not for fame
Just for shy love

Oh oh, my sweet instant Christian
You are such a sly clown
Too many questions
No replies now

And rejoice for the king
Ain't lost his throne oh no
He's still here
You are not alone
You are not alone
