I've got a hammer and an

Awkward nail that won't go down

I can try real hard but still it won't go down

Tell me how to do it Jesus

Tell me how to do it Jesus

I don't know how



The shadow in the corner is a stray cat that we found

I paid a thousand bucks once to keep that cat around

Now it's lying on the pavement

And the kids are crying, "save it!"

But I don't know how

Did you straighten that nail with a magic tool?

Did you ever get tired and want to change the rules, Jesus?

What's amazing to me about a man like you

Is that you raised the dead but had to suffer too, Jesus



I've got a mountain up ahead and a few I've left behind

And I'm getting kind of scared of what I'm going to find

Were you scared to do it Jesus?

Tell me how you did it Jesus

I don't how



If the present is a place that my future will define

I want to slow things down and take a little time

Can you help me do it Jesus?

I want to live a little Jesus

But I don't know how

Did you straighten that nail with a magic tool?

Did you ever get tired and want to change the rules, Jesus?

What's amazing to me about a man like you

Is that you raised the dead but had to suffer too, Jesus
