I grew up reciting bible verses
Committing everyone to memory
But like Nicodemus when he met the teacher
I could finally see the pharaohcy in me

I have always believed I believed in
The right things to do and to say
But like Paul I was traveling and blinded
Till I saw the light the truth and the way

In the darkness God saw my need
Saw my sorrow my lust and my greed
Just one touch of His hand I was free
In my darkness God saw my need

I could name you every book in the bible
And I knew all the pretty words it took to pray
But like Zacchaeus I was short on things that mattered
Still the Lord stopped in at my house one day

Ah it's a thin thin line between a good man
And one who knows he’s been saved
Like Lazarus I’m now a friend of Jesus
And this body is all I'm taking to the grave
