lyrics

Let me tell you ‘bout the time
I was crucified, my Lord
I was walking by the river
And forced to lay down my sword
And I was justified
Justified, my Lord
And they left me by the river
Will I find my way back home?

If you sit with me a while
I will tell you what went down
I’ve seen trial and tribulation
And a horseman with a crown
Am I sanctified?
Sanctified, my Lord
And as I’m led unto temptation
Will I find my way back home?

Let me tell you ‘bout the day
I was mystified, my Lord
I was walking by the roadside
Searching for my true reward
Was I was justified?
Justified, my Lord
And I was lost along the roadside
Will I find my way back home?

Let me tell you ‘bout the promise
That’s been flirting with my tongue
A vow to make amends
And right the wrongs that I have done
But I am petrified
Petrified, my Lord
And if I wonder in the wild
Will I find my way back home?

Well let me tell you about the roses
Let me tell you about the thorns
How beauty can cut you down
Like lightning in a storm
And I will testify
Testify, my Lord
And if I cross my heart and hope to die
Will I find my way back home?
