lyrics

Driving home, for the weekend
But I shuddered as I crossed the county line
It's only Easter, I'm glad to see them
But church ain't felt the same in quite some time
Thank God for worship, the team is amazing
I used to make it every Thursday night
But now I'm a good three hours away
So now I barely play
But to say its for the better ain't a lie

Dim the lights, its time for service
And I'll watch the better men climb on that stage
Its been forever since I worshiped
At least not in some superficial way
They'd never judge me, no one's perfect
Do you think that they can tell I've lost my faith?
Calling out the SBC, might've cost me my degree
But honestly they'd be a little late

And yet they love me
And yet I hate it
I've always been a mess at keeping friends
God you made me so apathetic
How am I supposed to love you if I can't?
Have you doomed me in preelection?
Is there a way to meet me where I am?
How am I to feel "the call?" I can't feel anything at all
Lord even Thomas had to see the hands

Does Judas burn in hell? But God he killed himself
Forgive him, lord I know that kind of grief
How strange for you to be
So willing not to see
The lengths to which I go to just believe
