Lyrics

When I was young I prayed that he would let me be
Mother hung his picture on my wall, and prayed I would believe
She’d kiss my sweaty forehead, then turn out all the lights
No monster ever scared me like the face of Jesus Christ
I listened to the promises, and I came to know the Lord
I got pain and I got suffering, but I don’t know what for
When I talk to Jesus, I’m gonna ask him to his face
Why’d you make this shit so hard? Lord, it feels like I’ve been played
Oh that grace
Oh that sound
Oh that hound
That hunts me down
Tracking down your prey
While I dream of endless days
I’m afraid, Lord, I’m afraid
 
Nothing much has changed in twenty something years
When I hear that awful howling I cover both my ears
I’ve learned to pay attention so I can feel him getting close
But you can’t be too careful when it comes to holy ghosts
One day I was walkin when a funny thing occurred
Saw myself across the street talkin’ to a Mockingbird
I started walking over but I should’ve looked both ways
They had to peel my body off an old blue Chevrolet
Well, I woke up in a daze and I thought I was alone
Then, I looked to my right and saw an angel from the Lord
And he was eatin’ something when he smiled right at me
Picked me up like I weighed nothing and I could not say a thing
No bone of mine was broken and my eyes could plainly see
I stood on both my legs and wondered how this all could be
He said do you have your answer? I said yes, I think I do
He said get down to that river, boy, St. Michael’s moving through
