Dirt

Abraham was scared to die
Forsook his wife within a lie
I think I know the reasons why
'Cause he was made of dirt
Joseph’s coat was full of pride
The blood of goats won’t wash you white
If I was his brother, I’d have lied
And left him in the dirt
Moses never entered in
To lands he thought was promised him
He took his people 'round again
To pick manna from the dirt
And Solomon became so wise
With many wives and concubines
He fell for every single lie
Yeah, his head was full of dirt
And David’s where I got my name
Abusing power, abusing fame
He stole a girl, her husband slain
Left six feet in the dirt
And Peter fell to his own shame
Denied his love, denied his name
He ran away when the people came
To nail him to the dirt
And Samson only thought it fair
To let that witch come cut his hair
And look through eyes no longer there
As he crushed them in the dirt
And Paul would sit upon his throne
And kill us with the biggest stones
And wrestle with a thorn unknown
A thorn up from the dirt
But if the nations had a father
Then Joseph would redeem his brothers
And Moses held the waters up
And David would become Your love
Solomon would build the temple
Samson came to destroy evil
Peter soon became the rock
And Paul would lead the Roman flock
And it’s all that I can do to keep my eyes off You
And it’s all that You can do to keep me, keep me, keep me new
All that I can see is that You can’t see the dirt in me
All that I can see is that You can’t see the dirt in me
All that I can see is that You can’t see the dirt in me
And all that I can see is You
