Steve Camp - Playing Marbles With Diamonds lyrics

Waking up to a very different world We got mud on our flag Before it's even been unfurled Our heroes are falling 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 Oh, 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 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've turned a pa**ion 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 There's 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 We've been playing marbles with diamonds, yeah Playing marbles with diamonds Playing marbles with diamonds Playing marbles with diamonds Playing marbles with diamonds
