Dirt

Abraham was scared to die, forsook his wife within the lie
think I know the reasons why; cause he was made of dirt.
And Joseph's coat was full of pride, the blood of goats won't wash you white
if I was his brother, I'd have lied, and left him in the dirt.

And Moses never entered in to land he thought was promised him
He took his people 'round again, to pick manna from the dirt.
And Solomon became so wise, with many wives and concubines
He fell for every single lie, yeah, his head was full of dirt.

And David's where I got my name, abusing power, abusing fame,
he stole a girl, her husband slain, left six feet in the dirt.
And Peter fell to his own shame, denied his love, denied his name,
he ran away, when the people came, to nail him to the dirt.

And Samson only thought it fair, to let the witch come cut his hair
and look through eyes no longer there as he crushed them in the dirt.
And Paul would sit upon his throne and kill us with the biggest stones
and wrestle with the thorn unknown, a thorn up from the dirt.

But if the nations had a father, Joseph would redeem his brothers.
Moses held the waters up, and David would become your love
Solomon would build the temple, Samson came to destroy evil,
Peter soon became the rock and Paul would lead the roman flock
and it's all that I can do to keep my eyes off You,
and it's all that You can do to keep me, keep me, keep me new

All that I can see is that You can't see the dirt in me
all that I can see is that You can't see the dirt in me
all that I can see is that You can't see the dirt in me
and all that I can see is You
