Growin' up I overheard all the grown up sayin'

You better be prayin' and sayin'

All the right little things at the right little times

And I had it down

At least on the outside

I'd put my best side forward

I could smile with the best and dress like the rest

Of the messed up church folk singin' a song

Are you sitting down

With all your sin and shame all stored up

Are you ready to live

For what the law could not do

God did

Could it be that morality got the best of you and me

Got us thinking that we're on the brink

Of a drink of the cup that's all filled up

With the cross havin' even a little to do with us

It was his day and it was his way

To the glory of his grace

Took our disease enough to please

The father of lights to bruise Jesus

Are you sitting down

With all your sin and shame all stored up

Are you ready to live

For what the law could not do

God did yeah oh he did oh he did it

Maybe dos and don'ts

Were made to show

How much we do

And don't ever make it

Are you sitting down

With all your sin and shame all stored up

Are you ready to live

For what the law could not do

God did
