Shifting Sand

Caedmon's Call

Sometimes I believe all the lies

So I can do the things I despise

And everyday I am swayed

By whatever is on my mind



I hear it all depends on my faith

So I'm feeling precarious

The only problem I have

With these mysteries

Is they're so mysterious



And like a consumer

I've been thinking

If I could just get a bit more

More than my fifteen minutes of faith

Then I'd be secure



Chorus:

My faith is like shifting sand

Changed by every wave

My faith is like shifting sand

So I stand on grace



Stand on grace



I've begged You for some proof

For my Thomas eyes to see

A slithering staff, a leprous hand

And lions resting lazily



A glimpse of Your back-side glory

And this soaked alter going ablaze

But you know I've seen so much

And I explained it away



Repeat Chorus



Waters rose as my doubts resigned

My sand-castle faith, it slipped away

Found my self standing on Your grace

It'd been there all the time



Repeat Chorus x 2



Stand on grace...
