i could hear the church bells ringing 

they pealed aloud your praise 

the member's faces were smiling 

with their hands outstretched to shake 

it's true they did not move me 

my heart was hard and tired 

their perfect fire annoyed me 

i could not find you anywhere 

could someone please tell me the story 

of sinners ransomed from the fall 

i still have never seen you, and somedays 

i don't love you at all 



the devoted were wearing bracelets 

to remind them why they came 

some concrete motivation 

when the abstract could not do the same 

but if all that's left is duty, i'm falling on my sword 

at least then, i would not serve an unseen distant lord 



could someone please tell me the story 

of sinners ransomed from the fall 

i still have never seen you, and somedays 

i don't love you at all 

if this only a test 

i hope that i'm passing, cuz i'm losing steam

but i still want to trust you 



peace be still (x3)
