Lyrics

I spent five years at a fellowship where the minister
had an affair with the wife of one of the members there. Married
with three kids. Now, the secret is out and he’s left with
nothing except conviction of what he did. Must be mid-
fifties, but I won’t check the date. Heard he’s covered in
extra weight. Grubbing from a collection plate. Best to
make peace and leave it alone. I’ve learned evil you fight
can eat you alive and defeat you like Phoenix Jones. Leaving
the congregation before it all went down, I recall
the look on their faces when I saw ‘em around. Small
town gospel gossip. Nothing like free will to reveal
the real message in the exile of Ezekiel.
Blasphemy. That’s the shade of judgment cast.
Heaving stones when they’re made of glass passed the knee.
Ask me these days, waiting for happiness after death makes
less sense than running faster to catch your breath.
Holding me back. Getting to know you.
What’s been holding me back. Getting to know you.
What’s been holding me back. Getting to know you.
If your word is all true, you’re the one I wanna walk close to.
Holding me back. Getting to know you.
What’s been holding me back. Getting to know you.
What’s been holding me back. Getting to know you.
If your word is all true, you’re the one I wanna walk close to.
I’ve seen demons flea from the body. Believe it or not,
I’ve watched the meanest sons of bitches switch up to be something Godly.
Oddly enough, the Bible’s got a good way of making
somebody wanna drop the bottle and throw toxin away.
It’s proper to say, only the most provocative thing
can lead you out the drug scene to clean up your
blood stream. Mud sling at the name of the one Lord, but He
never want’s war. Not what He made us for.
Much more that peace hand signs. Who else can lead man-
kind through all these land mines to an answer we can’t find?
Leanne Rhymes? Search this entire
earth’s surface. No person is worthy of reversing this
curse without serving a higher purpose, first. It’s the
perverts and murderers who mis-interpret the word, but
I can discern the serpent’s work. And if the worst can
learn to accept mercy they don’t deserve..,
Holding me back. Getting to know you.
What’s been holding me back. Getting to know you.
What’s been holding me back. Getting to know you.
If your word is all true, you’re the one I wanna walk close to.
Holding me back. Getting to know you.
What’s been holding me back. Getting to know you.
What’s been holding me back. Getting to know you.
If your word is all true, you’re the one I wanna walk close to.
