But my God can set you free if you would just let Him in.

Okay, in your world you're so freakin' cool,
Mocking the person's perceived coolness in their own world.
But in our world you are nothing,

And you need to get a life!
Directly advising the person to "get a life."
Get a Life.
Repeating the imperative to change one's lifestyle for the better.
