I used to believe But now my belief turns to dust At the feet of the altar The altar of lust Like a lamb to the slaughter Drowned in holy water Held below by my shame Beg for forgiveness at the feet of the one Who knows both heaven and hell Kneel for confession, you bastard This is the first and second death The saints are raising hell They say we did it to ourselves We did it to ourselves The saints are raising hell They say we did it to ourselves Broken bodies; reduce them to nothing Broken spirits just longing for substance Madonna weeps for her children Fathers tear at their robes Out of sight, out of mind Out of control Lay me down to rest Rip out my heart from my chest And wash the guilt from you bloodstained hands Lay me down to rest Lay me down to rest This is the first and second death The saints are raising hell They say we did it to ourselves Broken bodies; reduce them to nothing Broken spirits just longing for substance Broken bodies, reduce them to nothing Broken spirits, just longing for substance Guilty followers, disciples of fraud Suffocated by the Hands of God Guilty followers, disciples of fraud Suffocated by the Hands of God The saints are raising hell They say we did it to ourselves This is the first and second death There's no sanctuary here Suffocated by the Hands of God No sanctuary No sanctuary here

I still remember When I heard you call me by name I'd follow You anywhere Knew I could trust You with anything But, now, sorrow beats down on me Waiting for You to come through I'm all alone with my questions I'm dry and cracked open, I thirst for You And as I fall apart Come flood this desert heart Fall like the rain, living water And I know Your way is best Lord, help me find my rest And I'll be the clay in the hands of the potter My world is spinning My life seems so out of control Nailed scarred hands tell the story Of love that will never let go of me Through the sunshine or rain I know where my hope is found What You started in me I know You will complete from the inside out And as I fall apart Come flood this desert heart Fall like the rain, living water And I know Your way is best Lord, help me find my rest And I'll be the clay in the hands of the potter My world is breaking me Your love is shaping me And now the enemy is afraid of what You're making me My world is breaking me Your love is shaping me And now the enemy is afraid of what You're making me My world is breaking me Your love is shaping me And now the enemy is afraid of what You're making me And as I fall apart Come flood this desert heart Fall like the rain, living water And I know Your way is best Lord, help me find my rest And I'll be the clay in the hands of the potter And I'll be the clay in the hands of the potter

Well I could have been sick I could have died I could have given up And not tried To make it to tomorrow Like a brokenhearted lover But there was a brand new start And suddenly I was taken New and faraway places And the music I was shaken It was a whole new race When I woke on that first day There was nothing I could say I was in the hands of angels Johnny and the governor Came and brought me to my senses They made me feel just like a king Made me lose all my bad defenses And they knew all the places I needed to go All of the people I needed to know They knew who I needed And who needed me And who would come help me And who would just let me be I was in the hands of angels Until this very day Inside the hands of angels What more can I say When you're in the hands of angels Life is oh so sweet And you feel the love Down deep inside Even out there on the street In the hands of angels

I looked at your face, I saw that all the love had died I saw that we had forgotten to take the time I, I saw that you couldn't care less about what you do You couldn't care less about the lies You couldn't find the time to cry We forgot about love We forgot about faith We forgot about trust We forgot about us Now our love's floating out the window Our love's floating out the back door Our love's floating up in the sky in heaven Where it began back in God's hands You said that you had said all that you had to say You said, "Baby, it's the end of the day" And we gave a lot but it wasn't enough We got so tired that we just gave up Now our love's floating out the window Our love's floating out the back door Our love's floating up in the sky in heaven Where it began back in God's hands Back in God's hands We didn't respect it We went and neglected it We didn't deserve it But I never expected this Our love floated out the window Our love floated out the back door Our love floated up in the sky to heaven It's part of a plan, it's back in God's hands Back in God's hands Oh, it didn't last, it's a thing of the past No, we didn't understand, oh, just what we had Oh, I want it back, just what we had I want it back, oh, just what we had

Crazy as I may Make my way through this world Oh, it's for no one but me to say What direction I should turn in now 'Cause I am the captain of this ship Wanting eyes and kissing lips The same as it was And will remain until I'm done and gone Strange, but it seems There's mutiny brewing inside of me now I don't want your pity Just the promise that I'll be alright 'Cause I am the captain of this ship Curious hands and fingertips The same as it was And will be until I'm gone Oh, I know I'm a dreamer Still think it's strange? I won't be here for long Oh, I know that I feel Oh, wait and go again, again Oh, look, I'm buried Like a cancer eating away inside of me I don't want your pity Only the promise that I'll be okay now But I am the captain of this ship Curious hands and fingertips The same as it was before here Here, back after all Why should I be hypnotized By the promise of a long life? Why should I hold hope In tiny, tiny dribbles that glide by? Why should I lean on everything upon? I won't be here long Oh, I know I'm a dreamer Still seems a truth I won't be long for here Oh, it's so, but I think I lay this On now your lips I'm drowning I am the captain of, oh, but, I'll be okay after all
