Screen Door


One of my favorite songs by a great overlooked Christian band from the 90's. This song still speaks to those of us who take seriously the task of making disciples... This album should be in your library!


Screen Door by This Train

"Well it's about as useless as a screen door on a submarine. Faith without works, baby, it just ain't happening. One is your left hand, one is your right.It'll take two strong arms to hold on tight. Some folks will cut off their nose just to spite their face. But I think you need some works to show for your alleged faith


Well there's a difference, you know, between having faith and playing make believe. One will make you grow, the other one just make you sleep. Talk about it, but I really think you ought to take a leap off of the ship before you claim to walk on water. Faith without works is like a song you can't sing. It's about as useless as a screen door on a submarine.


Faith comes from God from every word that He breathes. He lets us take it in our hearts so we can give it hands and feet. It's gotta be active if it's gonna stay alive. You gotta put it into practice, otherwise...


It's about as useless as a screen door on a submarine. Faith without works, baby, it just ain't happening. One is your right hand, one is your left. It's your guide, your light, your life and your breath. Faith without works is like a song you can't sing; it's about as useless as a screen door on a submarine. Faith without works is like a song you can't sing; it's about as useless as a screen door on a submarine."
