I'm Already Taken

Hey you why don't you come with us tonight?
We're gonna have fun and lots of drinks, it'll be all-right
Hey don't even think about it, who's gonna know?
Don't even worry about it:  you can go!

    No sir:  I will not go
    I'm already taken
    My Jesus has delivered me from sin
    It's time for you to awaken
    I'm already taken
    I'm already taken!

Hey you, yeah you, why don't you want to try some of this stuff?
Once you get goin'-- ha!  you can't get enough!
Hey don't even think about it, who's gonna know it?
Don't even worry about it:  you can smoke it

    No sir:  I will not smoke it
    I'm already taken
    My Jesus has delivered me from sin
    It's time for you to awaken
    I'm already taken
    I'm already taken!

Hey you why don't you just stay home from church today?
We're gonna have fun and lots of food:  we're gonna play!
Hey don't even think about it:  who's gonna know?
Don't even worry about it:  you can go

    No ma'am:  I will not go
    I'm already taken
    My Jesus has delivered me from sin
    It's time for you to awaken
    I'm already taken
    I'm already taken!

Hey you why didn't you stay here with me?  Where did you go?
This whole world's gone crazy: it's gonna blow
Now that I think about it you tried to tell me!
I woke up too late, that much I can see

    Yes sir, yes ma'am I'm gone
    I'm already taken
    My Jesus has delivered me to Him!
    I'm happy you've awakened
    I'm already taken
         I'm already gone
    I'm already taken
         I'm already taken

"But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, 
     concerning them which are asleep, 
     that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, 
     even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, 
     that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord 
     shall not prevent them which are asleep.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, 
     with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: 
     and  the dead in Christ shall rise first:
     Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together 
     with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: 
     and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words."    
                                                                   1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
