Oddsox Songs

Most of Oddsox's songs are written by us, though one or two have been borrowed from other sources. You can take a look at all the lyrics here. :)

Song: Banana

This is a song that came out of Club Champ before Oddsox was formed, it simply states that Jesus is "bananas" for us - in other words - Jesus is crazy for us and wants to be with us every day of our lives.

Refrain
Jesus is bananas for me (oh oh oh oh)
Jesus is bananas for you
Jesus is bananas for me (oh oh oh oh)
Jesus is bananas for you

Verse 1
Do the banana
Do the monkey
Do the tiger
Do the hunter

Verse 2
Mash the banana
Shake the banana
Squish the banana
Eat the banana

Song: Dance

This song is a favourite amongst the members of Oddsox mainly for its catchy tune and strong rhythm. It is a call to Dance and sing because our God has given us everything to be thankful for. It is a great dance song... :)

Chorus
Dance - Everybody sing
Everybody get a move on
And give praise to the King
Come on come on come on now

Breakdown
Are you ready to dance?
–We’re ready to dance!
When’re you ready to dance?
–Right Now!

Song: Get Up

This song is about singing, shouting, jumping and dancing around for God. He loves to watch us having fun and putting on a show for Him. This song was the second song the band wrote together, and was rearranged in early 2005.

Verse 1
Get up!
Jump up!
Make some noise like you're never gonna shut down
And now, we’re gonna move around
'cause it's all about - Jesus

Verse 2
Move your feet
To the beat
Jump left, Jump right - put your hands in the air
I wanna scream
I wanna shout
I wanna sing about Jesus right now

Chorus
Ain't nothin' gonna stop you Jesus
And ain't nothin' gonna stop me praisin you
I know you're always with me
When I fall down you pull me through

Breakdown
Gonna praise him on the guitar
Gonna praise him on the bass
Gonna praise him on the keyboard
All night - All day

Gonna praise him on the guitar
Gonna praise him on the bass
Gonna praise him on the keyboard
And on the drums

Song: I Won't Be Afraid

This song was written by Matt and it tells us that there is no need to be afraid because Jesus loves us and cares for us. How do we know this? Because the bible tells us so!

Verse
Jesus is the rock that I stand on
–I won't be afraid
Because the God I know is really strong
–I won't be afraid
Jesus loves me this I know
–I won't be afraid
Because the Bible tells me so
–I won't be afraid

Chorus
Let me hear you say Jesus
–Jesus
He loves me so
–He loves me so
Jesus
–Jesus
I won't be afraid

Song: It Doesn't Matter (Oddsox Theme Song)

This song is a simple melody that reminds us that it doesn't really matter what's going on in our lives because there is always joy to be found. Joy that is only found in Jesus.

Verse
It doesn't matter who you are
You can dance
It doesn't matter who you are
So just give yourself a chance

Pre-Chorus
With Jesus at our side
We can hold our head up high
Jesus you're the one we're living for

Chorus
Oddsox!
Oddsox!
Oddsox!
We're Oddsox

Song: It's Enough

This song was written by Matt when he had a revelation of sorts that it is enough for us to have God with us where we walk and have him hear when we speak. It is a song that reminds us of the bible where God says, "my grace is sufficient for you..." (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Chorus
It's enough that you're with me
everywhere I'm walking
It's enough that you hear me
every time I'm talking
It's enough that you save me
you're the only way
It's enough that you're my friend everyday

Verse 1
I could run really fast
But you'd still beat me there
Or I could hide in the dark
But you'd still see me there

Pre-Chorus
And there's some really cool things that Jesus does
And Jesus you're my number one, because...

Verse 2
I could fly through the sky
But you'd still beat me there
Or I could wear a disguise
But you'd still see me there

Song: J-E-S-U-S

Also known as "because he cares for me" and "6 pieces of incriminating evidence plus a motive" this song is all about 6 things that God does for us and also the reason for it. The chorus tells us that if your life is in trouble you need to make friends with Jesus.

This was the first song the band wrote together.

Verse 1
1 - He counts the hairs on my head,
2 - He came back from the dead,
3 - He came to set me free.
Why? Because He cares for me!

Verse 2
4 - He took away all my pain,
5 - He made me better again,
6 - He is my friend, you see.
Why? Because he cares for me!

Chorus
J-E-S-U-S!
When your life's a mess,
If you are in strife,
Let Him in your life!

Song: Looking Up

This song talks about how God being an important part in your life makes it so exciting that you don't want to keep Him to yourself! It was written in 2004, the third song written by the band.

Verse 1
I'm looking up, I'm looking out
And you're turning my whole world upside down
It's you and me, it's me and you
Forever and ever

Verse 2
So I'll jump up high, I'll wave my hands
'Cause Jesus you make me want to dance
It's you and me, it's me and you
Forever and ever

Refrain
I'm so excited and I can't believe
How your love has made a difference in my life
So I won't stop and I won't freeze
Come on now we're gonna tell everybody

Song: Run to Jesus

This song reminds us that Jesus is always, always there. The verse talk about how the only sure thing in this world is the love of God and how that's the only place worth going to for shelter when the pressure is on and times are hard.

Chorus
(Sing)
La da di da da
La da di da da
La da di da da
La da di da da
Jesus - he's always there

Verse 1
You've got to run to Jesus
When the pressure's on
'Cause He's the one
Who keeps you strong
You've got to run to Jesus
He's always there

Verse 2
When your nights are black
And your days are long
When everything
Is going wrong
You've got to run to Jesus
He's always there

Bridge
Sing Jesus help me
'Cause I need - I need you now
Run to Jesus - He's always there

Song: Something Better Than That

This song is about possibilities. It is about the way that in life there are many options and we all have the potential to become anything that we set our mind to (Although, I don't think we could "yawn wider than a hippo" no matter how hard we tried!). In the end, though, there is nothing on this earth that is better than knowing Jesus.

Verse
I could be a rock star
But I know there's something better than that
I could drive a fast car
But I know there's something better than that
I could be a super hero
But I know there's something better than that
I could yawn wider than a hippo
But I know there's something better than that

Pre-Chorus
There's something better
There's something better
I know there's something better than that

Chorus
'Cause knowing Jesus is the best thing
Knowing Jesus is the best thing ever
Knowing Jesus is the best thing
And I know there's nothing better than that

Song: Surfy Song

This song is about having fun in the sun. It was written late 2004 and arranged in early 2005.

Chorus
Yeah we're gonna go surfing
Surfing today
Yeah we're gonna go surfing
On a holiday
'Cause summer is here
And the weather is hot
We're in the water
'Cause we like it a lot

Verse 1
So on your feet
Put out your arms
And ride the waves with me
Move your hips
And do the twist
We're surfing on the sea

Verse 2
Watch the fishes swimming by
Underneath your feet
'Cause the time is right
All day and night
This is all we really need
