Oh My God Lyrics - Good Monsters - Jars Of Clay

Oh, my God, look around this place 

Your fingers reach around the bone 

You set the break and set the tone 

Flights of grace and future falls 

In present pain, all fools say, "Oh, my God" 

Oh, my God, why are we so afraid? 

We make it worse when we don't bleed 

There is no cure for our disease 

Turn a phrase and rise again 

Or fake your death and only tell 

Your closest friends, oh, my God 

Oh, my God, can I complain? 

You take away my firm belief 

And graft my soul upon your grief 

Weddings, boats and alibis 

All drift away and a mother cries 

Liars and fools, sons and failures 

Thieves will always say 

Lost and found, ailing wanderers 

Healers always say 

Whores and angels, men with problems 

Leavers always say 

Broken hearted, separated 

Orphans always say 

War creators, racial haters 

Preachers always say 

Distant fathers, fallen warriors 

Givers always say 

Pilgrim saints, lonely widows 

Users always say 

Fearful mothers, watchful doubters 

Saviors always say 

Sometimes I can not forgive 

These days mercy cuts so deep 

If the world was how it should be 

Maybe I could get some sleep 

While I lay, I'd dream we're better 

Scales were gone and faces lighter 

When we wake, we hate our brother 

We still move to hurt each other 

Sometimes I can close my eyes 

And all the fear that keeps me silent 

Falls below my heavy breathing 

What makes me so badly bent? 

We all have a chance to murder 

We all have the need for wonder 

We still want to be reminded 

That the pain is worth the plunder 

Sometimes when I lose my grip 

I wonder what to make of Heaven 

All the times I thought to reach up 

All the times I had to give up 

Babies underneath their beds 

Hospitals that cannot treat them 

All the wounds that money causes 

All the comforts of cathedrals 

All the cries of thirsty children 

This is our inheritance 

All the rage of watching mothers 

This is our greatest offense 

Oh, my God 

Oh, my God 

Oh, my God
