Ive been putting on and putting off too many people,
and Im getting old to live
Like an injured man, ailments and unfilled prescription
Like the nose on my face.
Like a broken boat, safety raft, love for the water
Well I just cant decide
to sink of swim its me or them should I save myself?
Or go back for the others
Because maybe theres no gray and I was wrong to tell them so
Then maybe all that Ive to do was done a long time ago
REFRAIN
Because there was life before my life
There was provision before my need
There was redemption for my sin
for the sake of the world, I thank the Lord
that the truths not contingent on me.
Cause Ive been dressing up and dressing down for too many people
And Im a little young to live
Like a troubled boy, a troubled soul, fish out of water
Cause were all just the same
Were all just as good, and just as bad, and just as distracted
by the corners of our eyes
As our fathers were and theirs before and all those before them
But still I glance around.
And with the way I stare you'd think I'd seen through a two by four.
And with the way I walk youd think Id never seen grace before.
Because there was life before my life
There was provision before my need
There was redemption for my sin
for the sake of the world, I thank the Lord
that the truths not contingent on me.
Ive been putting up and putting down too many things
I know nothing about
Well Im jealous of, holding pride as tight as I can
Like she was my only daughter.
There was life before my life
There was provision before my need
There was redemption for my sin
for the sake of the world.
I thank the Lord
that the truths not contingent on me.
Cause the truths not contingent on me.
