In Your Name
You were loudly living
On your final 90 pounds
Cross-legged on the south porch
With a Bible in your hand
And when I prayed for healing
My father's words rang through the door
"Son, I don't think Jesus is in business of healing anymore"
Maybe he is occupied with other people's wars
Or he's organized militia to fight the war on Christmas
Or maybe he's protecting our children from the gays
Who have promised to destroy this utopia we've made
In His name
In His name
In His name
Well, the early fathers writing
To build a younger church up tall
Saying "Faith without the action
It isn't anything at all"
I know perspective isn't static
Between what I see and what you do
But if you choose to stand by idly, then what does that make you?
Well, I hear that you've been speaking through the man on the TV
And you helped the Dallas Mavericks with their field goal percentage
So when my mother's doctor calls again with more bad news
It's an honest heart's reaction
Oh, who, my God, have you been listening to?
Been listening to
Have you been listening to
In Your name
In Your name
In Your name
In Your name
On your final 90 pounds
Cross-legged on the south porch
With a Bible in your hand
And when I prayed for healing
My father's words rang through the door
"Son, I don't think Jesus is in business of healing anymore"
Maybe he is occupied with other people's wars
Or he's organized militia to fight the war on Christmas
Or maybe he's protecting our children from the gays
Who have promised to destroy this utopia we've made
In His name
In His name
In His name
Well, the early fathers writing
To build a younger church up tall
Saying "Faith without the action
It isn't anything at all"
I know perspective isn't static
Between what I see and what you do
But if you choose to stand by idly, then what does that make you?
Well, I hear that you've been speaking through the man on the TV
And you helped the Dallas Mavericks with their field goal percentage
So when my mother's doctor calls again with more bad news
It's an honest heart's reaction
Oh, who, my God, have you been listening to?
Been listening to
Have you been listening to
In Your name
In Your name
In Your name
In Your name
