jason hawk harris - i'm afraid lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
when i was young i prayed that he would let me be
mother hung his picture on my wall and prayed i would believe
she’d kiss my sweaty forehead then turn out all the lights
no monster ever scared me like the face of jesus christ

[verse 2]
but i listened to the promises and i came to know the lord
and i got pain and i got suffering but i don’t know what for
when i talk to jesus i’m gonna ask him to his face:
why’d you make this sh-t so hard, lord? it feels like i’ve been played

[chorus]
oh‚ that grace; oh‚ that sound
oh‚ that hound that hunts me down
tracking down your prey
while i dream of endless days
i’m afraid
lord, i’m afraid

[verse 3]
nothing much has changed in twenty-something years
and when i hear that awful howling i cover both my ears
i’ve learned to pay attention so i can feel him getting close
buddy, you can’t be too careful when it comes to holy ghosts

[verse 4]
one day i was walking when a funny thing occurred
saw my self across the street talking to a mockingbird
i started walking over but i should’ve looked both ways
they had to peel my body off an old blue chevrolet

[chorus]
oh‚ that grace; oh, that sound
oh, that hound that hunts me down
tracking down your prey
while i dream of endless days
i’m afraid
lord‚ i’m afraid

[verse 5]
well i woke up in a daze and thought i was alone
then i looked to my right and saw an angel from the lord
he was eating something when he smiled right at me
picked me up like i weighed nothing, and i could not say a thing

[verse 6]
no bone of mine was broken, and my eyes could plainly see
i stood on both my legs and wondered how this all could be
and he said, “do you have your answer?” i said, “yes i think i do”
then he said, “get down to that river, boy, st. michael’s moving through”

[chorus]
oh, that grace; oh, that sound
oh, that hound that hunts me down
tracking down your prey
while i dream of endless days
i’m afraid
lord, i’m afraid

oh, that grace; oh, that sound
oh, that hound that hunts me down
tracking down your prey
while i dream of endless days
i’m afraid
lord, i’m afraid
