Playing Marbles With Diamonds |
| Waking up to a very different world |
| We got mud on our flag |
| Before it’s even been unfurled |
| Our heroes are falling |
| And a leader is hard to find, yeah |
| Oh, the clock is running out |
| We’re casting our pearls before swine |
| Ah, there’s a whole lot more |
| Than preaching to the choir |
| Kneeling at the altar |
| Or paying our tithe |
| We’ve been treating God |
| Like He’s happiness for hire |
| We’ve been playing marbles with diamonds |
| Isn’t it a shame |
| How His name gets thrown around |
| We pat God on the back |
| Like a buddy from out of town |
| We thank the «man upstairs» |
| For the things people praise us for |
| Oh, we give God the glory |
| But we’re happy to take the award |
| Ah, there’s a whole lot more |
| Than raising lots of money |
| Building our churches |
| And spreading our fame |
| Faith is just the dice |
| That you roll to get lucky |
| We’ve been playing marbles with diamonds |
| There are precious things of God |
| And we must guard them with our lives |
| Like an unborn baby’s dreams |
| Like a husband loves a wife |
| May the hope of His returning |
| May it purify our faith |
| As we hold on to His holy word |
| May the chaff be blown away |
| Can we ever live up |
| To the things that we say we believe |
| 'Cause the world is watching |
| They’re looking for some honesty |
| Ah, we’ve been riding down a freeway |
| Instead of on a narrow road, yeah |
| We’ve turned a passion for the lost |
| Into a business of saving souls |
| Ah, there’s a whole lot more |
| Than preaching to the choir |
| Kneeling at the altar |
| Or paying our tithe |
| We’ve been treating God |
| Like He’s happiness for hire |
| We’ve been playing marbles, ah, with diamonds |
| There’s a whole lot more |
| As we’re making lots of money |
| Building our churches |
| And spreading our fame |
| Faith is just the dice |
| That you roll to get lucky |
| We’ve been playing marbles with diamonds, yeah |
| Playing marbles with diamonds |
| Playing marbles with diamonds |
| Playing marbles with diamonds |
| Playing marbles with diamonds |
