After playing Sugarland and Beyonce's countrified version of "Irreplaceable" (saved on my Nokia XpressMusic) in the pantry for my DWH officemates Carlo, Gian, and Idjea, they asked if I had any other versions of "Irreplaceable." I worked up the courage to tell them I had a written a Christian version, and they asked me to sing it right then and there. Since I had an instrumental track of Irreplaceable (thanks to a good blog friend, you know who you are), I did - because that's an opportunity to share of God's goodness - but I wasn't expecting Carlo to record it after I started. (You don't stop in the middle of a potentially evangelical song.) Thanks, Caloy; I'm genuinely embarrassed.
Ah well, we walk out on limbs for God's greater glory. I hope the message blessed my three friends, and I hope it blesses you too. Carlos blue-toothed me the video so I've uploaded it here. Here are the lyrics.
IRREPLACEABLE (A Christian Version)
You are loved (6x)
Listen to me, people, let me tell you, you are loved
Don’t you listen to what they say
You know God loves you in every single way now
So what if they say you’re fat
But God don’t care
He can do so much with that
And you think, you ain’t gone last
You sinned so much before and you got a wicked past
You know He’ll forgive you
He’s gonna make you as white as snow
You’ve never met someone like Him before
You’ll be forgiven
You’ve got to know ‘bout Him
Get to know more ‘bout Him
You could walk away from God in a minute
But the love He has for you is infinite, baby
(sang the wrong line: But the fact: His love for you is infinite, baby)
You’ve got to know ‘bout Him
Get to know more ‘bout Him
Say goodbye to all the tears and the sorrow
And remember with the Father you will always be irreplaceable
So go ahead and do good
Out of the joy, because you understood
Oops, I'll bet you thought that I didn't know
What do you think He gave up His Son for?
Because His love is true
The blood of the Lamb was what He used to buy you
Your freedom, please
So give it up and give Him thanks and praise
Standing in your front yard
or in the privacy of your room
Go ahead and tell Him You love Him too
He will listen
You’ve got to know ‘bout Him
Get to know more ‘bout Him
You could walk away from God in a minute
But the love He has for you is infinite, baby
You’ve got to know ‘bout Him
Get to know more ‘bout Him
Say goodbye to all the tears and the sorrow
And remember with the Father you will always be irreplaceable
So since He gave His everything
How about you give your everything
He gave his Son for you
He won’t move away from you (I forgot this line)
You won’t lose a wink of sleep
‘Cause the truth of the matter is
He loves you more than words can say
You are loved (6x)
Listen to me, people, let me tell you, you are loved
You are loved
And remember with the Father you will always be irreplaceable
You’ve got to know ‘bout Him
Get to know more ‘bout Him
You could walk away from Him in a minute
But the love He has for you is infinite, baby
You’ve got to know ‘bout Him
Get to know more ‘bout Him
Say goodbye to all the tears and the sorrow
And remember with the Father you will always be irreplaceable
