Album: Doing My Best, Vol. 2
Waking up to a very different world
We got mud on our flag
Before it's even been unfurled
Our heroes are falling
And a leader is hard to find, yeah
Oh, the clock is running out
We're casting our pearls before swine
Ah, there's a whole lot more
Than preaching to the choir
Kneeling at the altar
Or paying our tithe
We've been treating God
Like He's happiness for hire
We've been playing marbles with diamonds
Isn't it a shame
How His name gets thrown around
We pat God on the back
Like a buddy from out of town
We thank the "man upstairs"
For the things people praise us for
Oh, we give God the glory
But we're happy to take the award
Ah, there's a whole lot more
Than raising lots of money
Building our churches
And spreading our fame
Faith is just the dice
That you roll to get lucky
We've been playing marbles with diamonds
There are precious things of God
And we must guard them with our lives
Like an unborn baby's dreams
Like a husband loves a wife
May the hope of His returning
May it purify our faith
As we hold on to His holy word
May the chaff be blown away
Can we ever live up
To the things that we say we believe
'Cause the world is watching
They're looking for some honesty
Ah, we've been riding down a freeway
Instead of on a narrow road, yeah
We've turned a passion for the lost
Into a business of saving souls
Ah, there's a whole lot more
Than preaching to the choir
Kneeling at the altar
Or paying our tithe
We've been treating God
Like He's happiness for hire
We've been playing marbles, ah, with diamonds
There's a whole lot more
As we're making lots of money
Building our churches
And spreading our fame
Faith is just the dice
That you roll to get lucky
We've been playing marbles with diamonds, yeah
Playing marbles with diamonds
Playing marbles with diamonds
Playing marbles with diamonds
Playing marbles with diamonds
