Lyrics

Dress down your pretty faith
Give me something real
Leave out the Thee and Thou
And speak to me now
Speak to my pain and confusion
Speak through my fears and my pride
Speak to the part of me that knows I'm something deep down inside
I know thatI'm not perfect but compare me to most
In a world of hurt in a world of anger I think I'm holding my own
And I know that you've said there is more to life
No I am not satisfied
But there are mornings I wake up and I’m just thankful to be alive
I've known for quite a while that I am not whole
I've remembered the body and the mind but dissected my soul
Now something inside is awakening
Like a dream I once had and forgot
And it's something I'm scared of and something I don't want to stop
I woke up this morning and realized
Jesus is not a portrait
Or stained glass windows
Or hymns
Or all the tradition that surrounds us
I thought it would be hard to believe in
But it's not hard at all
To believe I've sinned
And fallen short
Of the glory of God
He's not asking me to change in my joy for martyrdom
He's asking to take my place
To stand in the gap that I have formed
With His real and His sweet
And His real amazing grace
And it's not just a sign or a sacrament
It's not just a metaphor for love
The blood is real and it's not just a symbol of
It’s not just a sign or a sacrament
It's not just a metaphor for love
The blood is a real and it's not just a symbol of
It is real and it’s not just a symbol of
His blood is real it’snot just a symbol of your faith
So leave out the Thee and Thou
And speak now
