Sola Gratie


Verse 1
I watch my blood flow down the drain
Do I want to get away
Or am I just going to take it like everyday before?

Well I guess I'm going to stay
The more You hurt me-the less the pain
The more You hurt me-the more it deadens all the screaming in my brain

And while I pray it's not so hard
You keep on pushing me so far
You keep on pushing me till It's over

Chorus 1
Jesus the Son of Savior
Why won't you explain this strange behavior?
Nothing's coming to me except to ask You why

I see the doubts and maybe's
Pulling back Your hand why don't You save me?
Why am I afraid that If I do I'll die?

Verse 2
I've been rejected by Your grace
No mater what, it never takes
As it passes like evening into the never-ending night

Or is what I imagine just a fake
Like the Holiness on Your face
Like the Holiness that- sets You apart from people in my place

And while I cling, I�m growing weak
Feel the flames, what do they seek
Feel the flames, are they burning?

Chorus 2
Where is this Son You mentioned?
Set me up to struggle with false pretensions
Luring me into something I just can�t understand

I see this blood before me
Running down the Christ, does it flow freely?
This Thomas needs to see the holes made in Your hands

Verse 3
I can�t believe I�m all alone
If you�re lucky, you�ll never know
That He denies, this Ghost was ever there

Come the cruelty, where does it flow
Forget the Love- you were never shown
Forget the love- as its the only thing you never could have known

Sum it up that He just won�t care
Blow Him off, He was never there
Blow Him off, and He comes Back

Chorus 3
Jesus the Son of Savior
Why won't you explain this strange behavior?
Nothing's coming to me except to ask You why

I see the doubts and maybe's
Pulling back Your hand why don't You save me?
Why am I afraid that If I do I'll die?

Bridge
There�s not a prayer You will deny
But most of them asked, You do withhold
Tell that to Your dying children
Where all this hope is growing old
Promise all the vain petitions
Hold the speck up in their eyes
And when they come to You for mercy
Turn Your back on those that try
