graceless
I wish anger could redeem this way I feel towards you
I could be a saint, wouldn’t have to think things through
Leave me brewing here in my arrogance,
Duck the words flying out of self-defense
‘cause I don’t really know the meaning of the word “repent”
My own life’s what I’m thinkin’, what I’m all about
So don’t you tell me ‘bout your troubles, little jabber-mouth
My ears are runnin’ blood from the hurt I’m hearin’
Eyes are narrowed down, field of vision clearing
Deaf
Blind
Where’s the Magic Man with the Hands of Healing?
Touch me not
And don’t call and don’t wait and don’t reach
What I’ve got
Is all mine, I won’t sow the good seed
Ignore the written Word to give myself more headroom
Crucified Christ – just a massive flesh wound
I will suffer in this world for a different reason…
You are knocking at my door – what a gross disturbance!
So soft Your voice now to guide me through these halls
Suckin’ up the love that You poured out for me
Whorin’ it out for the praise it affords me
Proud
Dumb, so dumb
I’m standin’ in the way of the One to save me
I am graceless
You are strong
You are gracious
I am wrong
