Lyrics
We were sitting there nervous trying
To keep our eyes from making contact
You were laying there looking worse
Than you had looked the previous Sunday
I was trying to imagine how
It felt for you when you released it
Tried to put myself inside your shoes
And felt like that was selfish
I don't know what it looks like where you are
But I mean it must look better
Than just laying around and counting down
Until you meet your Maker
Mmmmm
I imagine that He held your hand and
Showed you that you're far from perfect
That every single person He's created's
Been a screw-up, you can't help it
Might as well just take that blame
Take off your shoes, start getting comfy
There is nothing but forgiveness here
The journey's over, glad you met Me
There is nothing but deliverance here
It's pure and larger than you could be
And all the judgement that you yelled about
Was more about yourself than you think
Mmmmm
Mmmmm
Mmmmm
I'm a seven page laundry list of
Sinful deeds I swore were not me
And that valley of the shadow of my death
Still scares the soul out of me
I couldn't even wrap my head around how
I could find a throne for judging
Still I sat there quietly
Resenting you, resenting daddy
And all that I can do is hope and hope and
The way that I believe he treated you
When you left this earth and body, mmmm
Mmmmm
And when these flaming tongues landed in each person
Mmmmm
It put a new tongue, a new language
Mmmmm
In the body, in the mouth, in the brain
