okay, so the first song is the original song, the second is from christian comedian Mark Lowry who did the Weird Al Yankovic thing to christian music.....

I have wrestled in the darkness
of this lonely pilgrim land
Raising strong and mighty fortresses
that I alone command
But these castles
I've constructed by the
strength of my own hand
Are just temporary kingdoms
on foundations made of sand
In the middle of the battle
I believe I've finally found
I'll never know the thrill of victory
'til I'm willing to lay down
All my weapons of defense and
earthly strategies of war
So I'm laying down my arms and
running helplessly to Yours
I surrender all my silent hopes and dreams
Though the price to follow costs me everything
I surrender all my human soul desires
If sacrifice requires
That all my kingdoms fall
I surrender all
If the source of my ambition
is the treasure I obtain
If I measure my successes on
a scale of earthly gain
If the focus of my vision
is the status I attain
My accomplishments are
worthless and my efforts are in vain
So I lay aside these trophies
to pursue a higher crown
And should You choose somehow
to use the life I willingly lay down
I surrender all the triumph for
it's only by Your grace
I relinquish all the glory,
I surrender all the praise
Everything I am, all I've done,
and all I've known
Now belongs to You,
the life I live is not my own
Just as Abraham laid Isaac
on the sacraficial fire
If all I have is all that You desire
I surrender all

I can scarf a dozen dougnuts,
And lick the suger off my hands,
If I had a hundred tacos,
I could eat 'em on demand.
If I eat 'em even faster,
You can see my waist expand,
But the bloated feeling that I get,
Is the part that I can't stand
I'm the middle of the kitchen,
I can't help but gain a pound,
I'll never taste the feel of victory
Till I finally chow down
I can offer no defence,
When that aroma fills the place,
When I'm served a tray of burgers,
I will gladly stuff my face,
I can eat it all,
Alfalfa, sprouts, and grains,
But when it comes to fast food,
I eat everything,
I can eat it all,
Whatever I desire,
It's fat that I require,
Cause I'm a butterball,
I can eat it all.
The source of my condition,
Is the fact I don't obstain,
I can measure my consumption,
By the weight that I have gained
Though my friends call me a glutty,
And that causes me such pain,
If they serve me one more salad,
I think I will go insane
Cause I've laid aside the health food,
For the fatter foods I've found,
When I get my hands on pizza,
I can never put it down
When I hit my favorite restraunts,
I eat everything I see,
After hours at the buffet,
They are begging me to leave
I can eat it all,
Alfalfa sprouts and grains,
But when it comes to fast food,
I eat everything,
I can eat it all,
Whatever I desire,
It's fat that I require,
Cause I'm a butterball,
I can eat it all
I have a favorite verse,
I would like you all to know,
And it goes like this,
"Man cannot live by bread alone"
That is why I lay my ground beef,
On a golden flame of fire,
The more I have,
The more that I desire
I can eat it all
I can eat it all,
Whatever I desire
It's fat that I require
Cause I'm a butterball
I'm wider then I'm tall
I'm pure cholesteral,
I can eat it all

Another set of funny faves:

Saddle up your horses
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Started out this morning in the usual way
Chasing thoughts inside my head
I thought I had to do today
Another time around the circle
Try to make it better than the last
I opened up the Bible
And I read about me
Said I'd been a prisoner
And God's Grace had set me free
And somewhere between the pages
It hit me like a lightning bolt
I saw a big frontier in front of me
And I heard somebody say let's go
Saddle up your horses
We've got a trail to blaze
Oh oh oh
Through the wild blue yonder of God's Amazing grace
Let's follow our leader into the Glorious unknown
This is the life like no other whoa whoa
This is the great adventure
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh yeah, yeah
So come on, get ready for the ride of your life
Gonna leave long faced religion
In a cloud of dust behind
And discover all the new horizons
Just waiting to be explored
This is what we were created for, yeah
Saddle up your horses
We've got a trail to blaze
Oh oh oh
Through the wild blue yonder of God's Amazing grace
Let's follow our leader into the Glorious unknown
This is the life like no other whoa whoa
This is the great adventure
We'll travel on, over mountains so high
We'll go through valleys below
Still through it all we'll find that
This is the greatest journey
That the human heart will ever see
The love of God will take us far
Beyond our wildest dreams
Saddle up your horses
We've got a trail to blaze
Oh oh oh
Through the wild blue yonder of God's Amazing grace
Saddle up your horses
We've got a trail to blaze (we've got a trail we've got a trail to blaze)
Through the wild blue yonder of God's Amazing grace
Let's follow our leader into the Glorious unknown
This is the life like no other whoa whoa
This is the great adventure
Oh oh oh oh (this is the great adventure)
Oh oh oh oh (this is the great adventure)
Oh oh oh oh (this is the great adventure)
Saddle up, saddle up your horses

Goin on a blind date
Got a call from Steven
It was just as I feared
Said he found my ideal girl
If I can overlook her beard
Another night out with a stranger
I just hope she's of the human race
I bought a dozen roses
figured how could they hurt?
And prayed my date would not be
Godzilla in a skirt
Then walking up to her front door
I fought the urge to run
Would this girl be my Cinderella?
Or another Atilla, The Hun
I got another blind date, I better close my eyes
Why do all my blind dates attract so many flies?
Searching for my honey, but all I ever get is stung.
I think that I'll stay a bachelor
Woah whoa, this is the date adventure.
Don't think that I'm picky
I know I'm not so hot
Getting ready for a date
Should not include a rabies shot
Why must dating be such a challenge?
Why can't it be fun instead?
All I want's a girl, not Mr Ed (hello Wilbur)
I got another blind date, I got a trail to blaze
Should I take her to dinner, or to a field to graze?
Searching for my honey, but all I ever get is stung
I think that I'll stay a bachelor
whoa whoa this is the date adventure
For the right girl
I would stick up my neck
and let her pick up the check
But I must wait
For my mate
Dating's the toughest journey
When you pick a wife you can't be wrong
So that's why I go on blind dates
And bring Alpo along, yeah
Oh got another blind date
I better get ready to hide
Got another blind date
So pass the blindfold please
instead of her number
she'll just leave me her fleas
Searching for my honey, but all I ever get is stung
I think that i'll stay a bachelor
This is the date adventure.
Come on this is the date adventure
Better close, better close my eyelids

I was literally singing this on the way home from dropping kids @ school this morning (came to mind..... haven't heard it in a few years....)
I was going to play it when I got home, but by the time I got home I got sidetracked and forgot.........

God Of Elijah

Bring on the show down
How long will you waver between two opinions
If the Lord is God then follow Him
But if Baal is god then follow him
There are 450 prophets of Baal and just one of me
So it should be no problem to get his attention
And show everyone here today
That if he's the real god
He'll have to send fire down
So they began to shout, run around, cut themselves
Baal made no reply, so Elijah cried
Maybe he's sleeping, or busy or traveling
Or using the bathroom, or deeply thinking
God of Elijah, send your fire
Let it burn up inside me, melt me down (2x)

God of Elijah
So Elijah took twelve stones
Representing the twelve tribes
And built an altar of sacrifice
And dug up a trench and cut up a bull
And placed it on the wood
And poured four jars of water all around
He said do it again and then do it a third
Until the whole sacrifice had been soaked down
Water rolled out of the trenches, and Elijah prayed
Lord God of Israel let it be known today
That You are God and I pray You answer
And turn their hearts back to You again
Let the fire fall and burn it all
Let it rain down

God of Elijah, send your fire
Let it burn up inside me, melt me down (2x)

God of Elijah, God of Elijah

Lord God of Israel let it be known today
That You are God and I pray You answer
And turn our hearts back to You again
Let the fire fall, burn it all
Let it rain down

God of Elijah, send your fire
Let it burn up inside me, melt me down (2x)

God of Elijah, God of Elijah

I SMILE

Lost and all alone
Looking for a reason
for being in this crazy world
Trying to go on, looking for the answers
To the questions and there You were
From the moment You appeared
Everything became so clear
I'm so glad that You're here, Lord
I smile when I think about
The way You've turned my life around
I smile when I think about
The happiness in You I've found
I'm so amazed at what Your love has done
And when I think the best is yet to come
I smile!
I smile!
Wandering the dark, lost in the confusion
I thought I was losing my mind for sure
I searched with all my heart, looking for direction
Something to believe in and there You were
And You were reaching down to me
You were everything I needed
I'm so glad You found me, Lord
I smile when I think about
The way You've turned my life around
I smile when I think about
The happiness in You I've found
I'm so amazed at what Your love has done
And when I think the best is yet to come
I smile!
'Cause You've turned all my gray skies
To the brightest blue, yes, You did
And my life feels like sunshine
And it's because of You
All because of You. I smile
I smile when I think about
The way You've turned my life around
I smile when I think about
The happiness in You I've found
I'm so amazed at what Your love has done
And when I think the best is yet to come
I smile when I think about
The way You've turned my life around
I smile when I think about
The happiness in You I've found
I'm so amazed at what Your love has done
And when I think the best is yet to come
I smile!
I smile!
