Shifting Sand

Sometimes I believe all the lies
 So I can do the things I should despise
 And every day I am swayed
 By whatever is on my mind
 I hear it all depends on my faith
 So I'm feeling precarious
 The only problem I have with these mysteries
 Is they're so mysterious
 And like a consumer I've been thinking
 If I could just get a bit more
 More than my 15 minutes of faith,
 Then I'd be secure
 (Chorus)
 My faith is like shifting sand
 Changed by every wave
 My faith is like shifting sand
 So I stand on grace
 I've begged you for some proof
 For my Thomas eyes to see
 A slithering staff, a leprous hand
 And lions resting lazily
 A glimpse of your back-side glory
 And this soaked altar going ablaze
 But you know I've seen so much
 I explained it away
 Chorus
 Waters rose as my doubts reigned
 My sand-castle faith, it slipped away
 Found myself standing on your grace
 It'd been there all the time
 (Chorus repeated)
