jennifer nettles - salvation works lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
she’s a woman on a mission
always in the church
if you need a ride into town
her offer is the first

yeah, she thinks
that if she’s perfect
she can outrun all the hurt
but that ain’t how salvation works

[chorus]
that steeple still needs painting
they’re out there cutting gr-ss
there’s a two line sunday sermon
she’ll miss cause she drives too fast
and the message on the marquee
reflected in the gl-ss
is every sinner has a future
and every saint has a past

[verse 2]
he’s a man with a memory
that turned into a curse
he keeps every bottle empty
till he’s numb down to the nerves

he thinks that forgiveness
is reserved for souls like hers
but that ain’t how salvation works

[chorus]
that steeple still needs painting
they’re out there cutting gr-ss
there’s a two line sunday sermon
she’ll miss cause she drives too fast
and the message on the marquee
reflected in the gl-ss
is every sinner has a future
and every saint has a past

[verse 3]
i can’t quote the bible
the chapter or the verse
and heaven’s just a promise
for those left here on earth

but i believe that god loves us
more than we deserve
and i hope that’s how
yeah i hope that’s how
i hope that’s how salvation works
salvation works

oh, i hope that’s how
i hope that’s how
oo-oo-oo-oo
