about

performed at Riverside Community Church (Oakmont, PA) in July 2008

lyrics

They say that I inspire, that I’m a blessing
Yet their praise puts me to shame
For how can healing words come from unholy lips?
How can the blind and the dumb lead the lame?

But maybe there is more to this
maybe this is more than me

How can you still use me
After I’ve allowed myself to be used by everyone else?
How can you still choose me
When I made the choice to ignore the still small voice in my heart?
How can you still want me
When there has to be a thousand faithful ones to take my place?

Is this real? A final warning? Or a mistake?
Is this grace?

The God of Israel, the God of Jacob
The God of the redeemed and the liars
Is that who I am? Is that who you call me
As I run head first into the fire

But maybe there is more to this
And maybe this is more than me

How can you still use me
After I’ve allowed myself to be used by everyone else?
How can you still choose me
When I made the choice to ignore the still small voice in my heart?
How can you still want me
When there has to be a thousand faithful ones to take my place?

Is this real? A final warning? Or a mistake?
Is this grace?

I have unholy lips
I have a cheating heart
I have a liars tongue
I have nothing (4x)

How can you still use me
After I’ve allowed myself to be used by everyone else?
How can you still choose me
When I made the choice to ignore the still small voice in my heart?
How can you still want me
When there has to be a thousand faithful ones to take my place?

Is this real? A final warning? Or a mistake?
Is this grace?
