DOCTOR JEKYLL AND MRS. HYDE

by Stan C. Countz

ONE MINUTE SHE’S BREE
THE NEXT SHE’S EDIE
ONE MINUTE SHE’LL FOLLOW ME
THE NEXT SHE’S LEADING

SHE’S SUZY HOMEMAKER
AND SHE TAKES IT ALL IN STRIDE
NO ONE CAN RATTLE OR SHAKE HER
OR TAKE HER FOR A RIDE

NO ONE CAN SADDLE
OR BREAK HER RAGE
SHE ‘S DOCTOR JEKYLL
AND MRS. HYDE

ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE
AND WE’RE ALL MERELY PLAYERS
LIFE IS LIKE AN ONION
SO PEEL BACK THE LAYERS

SHE’S DOCTOR JEKYLL
AND SHE’S MRS. HYDE
SHE CAN TAKE YOU
ON A ROLLER COASTER RIDE

ONE DAY SHE’S PEDAL TO THE METAL
THE NEXT SHE’S TALKIN’ SUICIDE
ONE DAY SHE’S WILLING TO SETTLE
THE NEXT DAY SHE SAYS SHE LIED

NO NEED TO BE AFRAID
PAY NO HEED TO THE NAYSAYERS
JUST COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
AND KEEP SAYIN’ YOUR PRAYERS

SHE CAN NEVER MAKE THE GRADE
HER BEST JUST AIN’T GOOD ENOUGH
BUT IF SHE’LL TRUST HIS LOVE AND GRACE
SHE CAN REST ASSURED SHE’S CURED
AND HER SIN HAS BEEN ERASED

HIS PLAN AND PURPOSE

My dreams had all been shattered
Take heed if you stand, lest you fall
Ain’t nothin’ sadder than climbing a ladder
That’s leanin’ against the wrong wall

Why does it matter what we do or believe?
If we seek truth or practice to deceive?
Yes it’s true our values shape our beliefs
And what we believe shapes our destiny

When we’re out of balance and out of integrity
We’re blown about like the Autumn leaves
Mired in the muck of mindless routine
Caught up in the stuff that this life brings

But when we affirm our values and our purpose
Our heart starts to sing and our spirit takes wing
Our lives are inspired and we’re prepared for service
We’re no longer tired and we dare to do great things

So don’t be scared or nervous
Just be happy to be of service
Take His hand and join His band
And rejoice in His plan and purpose
