The Lake Lyrics

I met the devil in the church house

I went to feel the hand of God

As I sat and listened to shalls and shall nots

I heard it whisper "you know you want to get out"

Preacher says "just be like Jesus"

While all around they're throwin stones

This "blessed body" looks more like pieces

God herself wouldn't ever own

I saw Jesus in a hooker

Walkin slow from lack of sleep

As she knelt to help a beggar

Up off the ground on to his feet

Beggar said "you're quite the lady"

And tears filled up those broken eyes

She said "sir, you must be crazy"

And he said "first I've seen God in quite awhile"

I see beauty up in the treetops

I find love out on the lake

Peace it flows like a great river

From life that gives more than it take

And I saw heaven out on the ocean

I heard the waves they were singin "grace"

This is truth, yeah, this is freedom

It's here God finds me

and it's here

It's here I'll stay
