save us from ourselves (a song)

“Give your food to the poor,” she says
As she takes another bite
“Give your money to the LORD,” she says
As she lays another brick

LORD, come quick
To save us from ourselves
Holy Spirit
Change us from the inside out

“Lean not on your feeble minds,” she says
“Just sign here on the doctrine line”
“He came to bring a sword,” she says
“I’ve heard of peace, but it’s time for war”

LORD, come quick
To save us from ourselves
Holy Spirit
Change us from the inside out

We bring words to these offerings
While our lips move, our bodies stand still
“We’ll hide out here til’ the levee breaks
When mountains move and Heaven shakes”

LORD, come quick
To save us from ourselves
Holy Spirit
Change us from the inside out
