The Reverend

If Jesus has reasons then I’m left alone in the dark

I sure try to please him but it’s not like a walk in the park

I will turn the other cheek

They stand at the bar and they spit out their misguided fear

They scream from afar and they hose out their hatred with beer

But I will stand amongst the meek

Yes I will turn the other cheek

Brothers you’ve torn down the walls

They are coming to settle the scores

I am scarred by your demons

But I need to re-open the doors

If I doubt this vocation then tell me that I’m doing right

If I go through the motions then show me it’s all worth the fight

I will stand amongst the meek

And I will bear my smarted cheek

Brothers you’ve torn down the walls

They are coming to settle the scores

I am scarred by your demons

But I need to re-open the doors

If Jesus has reasons, I’m scarred by your demons

If Jesus has reasons, I’m scarred by your demons

Brothers you’ve torn down the walls

They are coming to settle the scores

I am scarred by your demons

But I need to re-open the doors
