Details

Description

Candy-Coated Gospel, a poignant song composed and performed by Tim Whipple . Taken from the 1975 Fisherfolk album , On Tiptoe. Lyrics :


It’s a candy-coated gospel people prefer to hear.
A candy-coated gospel falling on deaf ears.

Jesus came to serve
That was more than we deserved
As he did then
so are we to do the same.
Jesus paid the price
to be that living sacrifice
now the world can believe upon His name.

It’s a candy-coated gospel, and the taste is candy sweet
but the candy-coated gospel doesn’t wash your brother’s feet.

Jesus came to serve
That was more than we deserved
As he did then
so are we to do the same.
We must pay the price
to be that living sacrifice
then the world will believe upon His name.


And the candy-coated gospel is easily worn
It takes the crown of blessing but leaves the crown of thorns.
