If You Wanted Me Lyrics - Todd Agnew

Ill admit I'm glad we're not disciples 

Out on a lake paralyzed with fright 

'Cause I'm afraid I might have laughed at Peter 

Until he stepped into that stormy night 

If you wanted me to walk on water 

Why'd you make the solid ground seem so right? 

And I'll admit I'm glad I'm not King David 

Ruling over everything I see 

'Cause I think I've fallen for more than Bathsheba 

Your creation's a temptation for me 

If you wanted me to love you only 

Why'd you make the moonlight sparkle in her eyes? 

I'll admit I'm glad I'm not John the Baptist 

In a jail cell waiting for my day to die 

'Cause at least down here I know what we're chasing 

And it's hard to trust your dreams are so much better than mine 

But if you wanted me to die to myself 

Why'd you make me fall so deeply in love with life? 

If you wanted me to surrender 

Why'd you make these hands able to hold on so tight, so tight? 

And if you wanted me to be like you 

Why'd you make me like me?
