It Seems Nobody Wants to…
By Vic & Eva Zarley 5th Fret

It seems nobody wants to pray to Jesus no more
It seems nobody wants to pray to Jesus no more
People busy as they can be
How’s a spirit gonna get set free
Nobody got time for the Savior no more

Don’t be weary, get on your knees
Follow Jesus or your heart will freeze
Let’s not be grievin’ God’s Spirit no more

B7
It seems nobody wants to walk like Jesus no more
It seems nobody wants to walk like Jesus no more
Am
People living so selfishly
F
Judging one another, endlessly
G                                                              Am
They don’t want to love one another no more

It seems nobody wants to talk like Jesus no more
It seems nobody wants to talk like Jesus no more

This is an especially fun story to tell. I was goofing off on the guitar out in our front yard—in the field, more or less, when I got this bluesy, catchy tune which I began to scat. Eva came home about then and immediately said, "I've got words." I was awestruck when I saw the words and saw how well they fit the music. God is awesome. This song works in an opposite manner than many songs about God. This one says people refuse to behave like children of God. People refuse to submit their lives to Him. People refuse to understand that the crosses God wants us to bear will do something fabulous in their souls that can't be done any other way. That's why Jesus IS the way. This song may dredge up a conviction in you and you may choose to decide to follow Jesus in word and deed, no longer rebelling against Him. 

Throwin’ curses like dynamite
Let me tell ya that it just ain’t right
Folks don’t want to bless each other no more

It seems nobody wants to act like Jesus no more
It seems nobody wants to act like Jesus no more
They don’t want to have a cross to bear
They’re always cryin’ how life ain’t fair
No one is willin’ to suffer no more

It seems nobody wants to love like Jesus no more
It seems nobody wants to love like Jesus no more
They don’t give out water and bread
They got no mercy for the walkin’ dead
Got no compassion for sinners no more
