Dann Huff - Salvation Works lyrics

She's a woman on a mission Always in the church If you need a ride into town Her offer is the first Yeah, she thinks That if she's perfect She can outrun all the hurt But that ain't how salvation works That steeple still needs painting They're out there cutting gra** There's a two line Sunday sermon She'll miss cause she drives too fast And the message on the marquee Reflected in the gla** Is every sinner has a future And every saint has a past He's a man with a memory That turned into a curse He keeps every bottle empty Till he's numb down to the nerves He thinks that forgiveness Is reserved for souls like hers But that ain't how salvation works That steeple still needs painting They're out there cutting gra** There's a two line Sunday sermon She'll miss cause she drives too fast And the message on the marquee Reflected in the gla** Is every sinner has a future And every saint has a past I can't quote the bible The chapter or the verse And heaven's just a promise For those left here on Earth But I believe that god loves us More than we deserve And I hope that's how Yeah I hope that's how I hope that's how salvation works Salvation works Oh, I hope that's how I hope that's how Oo-oo-oo-oo
