DeGarmo & Key "The Pledge" Verses & Lyrics

Back when I was in college I discovered the Christian band, "DeGarmo & Key". One of their albums (The Pledge) remains one of my favorite albums to this day. Recently I came across the cassette that I used to listen to, discovered in the notes several verses to each song. I decided to look up each verse and save it to a text document. For the next ten days I'll publish the verses for one of the songs off the album, plus the lyrics.

All Scripture taken from NIV version 1984, because that's the version I was using at the time I was first listening to this cassette.  

 

From the words to the Word...

What can we do to make an eternal difference in someone's life?

Boycott Hell

1Peter 4:7-10 The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. (8) Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. (9) Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. (10) Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.

Ephesians 4:2-7 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. (3) Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. (4) There is one body and one Spirit-- just as you were called to one hope when you were called-- (5) one Lord, one faith, one baptism; (6) one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. (7) But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.

1 Corinthians 12:12-14 The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. (13) For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body-- whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free--and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. (14) Now the body is not made up of one part but of many.

Matthew 28:19-20 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (20) and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Ephesians 6:10-13 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. (11) Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. (12) For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. (13) Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

Revelation 20:14-15 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. (15) If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

Revelation 21:1-4 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. (2) I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. (3) And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. (4) He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

DeGarmo & Key - Boycott Hell

We've got the strength to win
Standing arm in arm together.
Forget our differences,
We can change the world forever.
Bury your foolish pride.
We've gotta unionize.
Boy, don't you think it's
Time to boycott hell?

Don't let a neighbor go,
Form a holy picket line.
We've gotta let them know.
Don't you think it's time
To boycott hell.

Don't let a neighbor go,
Form a holy picket line.
We've gotta let them know.
Don't you think it's time
To boycott hell.

We've got a job to do.
We're running out of time to do it.
You've got a gift to use.
Get out in the world and use it.
Bury your foolish pride.
We've gotta unionize.
Boy, don't you think it's time
To boycott hell.

Boycott hell.
