lyrics

I used to be a theologian
Until You ruined me
I put my books in the closet
And gave my robe to charity

By the clear spring pool
I watched monks
Laugh and splash
They left their beds for the mountains
Painted their faces and howled in the breeze

Wake me up in the morning
So I know Your not only words
If it takes breaking ice on the lake
I’ll stand waist deep
Day after day after day

On my walk back home
Red Wing black birds perched on the wheat
You said tell them your will
I spoke Your name and they flew to the trees

Seen outside soaked waste high
With the wind freezing my cheeks
Face painted all sorts of colors
With a smile stretching off my face
