Playing Marbles With Diamonds Songtext

Playing Marbles With Diamonds Songtext
Waking up to a very different world
We got mud on our flag before it′s even been unfurled
Our heroes have fallen and a leader is hard to find, yeah
Oh, the clock is running out, we're casting our pearls before swine
Ah, there′s a whole lot more than preaching to the choir
Kneeling at the altar or paying our tithe
We've been treating God like he's happiness for hire
We′ve been playing marbles with diamonds
Isn′t it a shame how His name gets thrown around?
We pat God on the back like a buddy from out of town
We thank the man upstairs for the things people praise us for
How we give God the glory, but we're happy to take the award
Ah, there′s a whole lot more than raising lots of money
Building our churches and spreading our fame
Faith is just the dice that you roll to get lucky
We've been playing marbles with diamonds
There are precious things of God and
We must guard them with our lives
Like an unborn baby′s dreams, like a husband loves a wife
May the hope of His returning, may it purify our faith
As we hold on to His holy word, may the chaff be blown away
Ah, can we ever live up to the things that we say we believe?
'Cause the world is watching, they′re looking for some honesty
Ah, we've been riding down a freeway
Instead of on a narrow road, yeah
We turned to passion for the lost into a business of saving souls
Ah, there's a whole lot more than preaching to the choir
Kneeling at the altar or paying our tithe
We′ve been treating God like he′s happiness for hire
We've been playing marbles, ah, with diamonds
A whole lot more as we′re making lots of money
Building our churches and spreading our fame
Faith is just the dice that you roll to get lucky
Roll to get lucky
We've been playing marbles with diamonds
Yeah
Playing marbles with diamonds
Playing marbles with diamonds
Playing marbles with diamonds
Playing marbles with diamonds
Playing marbles with diamonds
Playing marbles with diamonds
Playing marbles with diamonds
Playing marbles with diamonds
Playing marbles with diamonds
With diamonds
We got mud on our flag before it′s even been unfurled
Our heroes have fallen and a leader is hard to find, yeah
Oh, the clock is running out, we're casting our pearls before swine
Ah, there′s a whole lot more than preaching to the choir
Kneeling at the altar or paying our tithe
We've been treating God like he's happiness for hire
We′ve been playing marbles with diamonds
Isn′t it a shame how His name gets thrown around?
We pat God on the back like a buddy from out of town
We thank the man upstairs for the things people praise us for
How we give God the glory, but we're happy to take the award
Ah, there′s a whole lot more than raising lots of money
Building our churches and spreading our fame
Faith is just the dice that you roll to get lucky
We've been playing marbles with diamonds

Yeah
Playing marbles with diamonds
Playing marbles with diamonds
Playing marbles with diamonds
Playing marbles with diamonds
Playing marbles with diamonds
Playing marbles with diamonds
Playing marbles with diamonds
Playing marbles with diamonds
Playing marbles with diamonds
With diamonds
