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
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
