Tom: G
G
Abraham was scared to die
Forsook his wife within a lie
Bm
I think I know the reasons why
C
'Cause he was made of dirt
G
Joseph's coat was full of pride
The blood of goats won't wash you white
Bm
If I was his brother, I'd have lied
C
And left him in the dirt
[Verse 2]
G
Moses never entered in
To lands he thought was promised him
Bm
He took his people 'round again
C
To pick manna from the dirt
G
And Solomon became so wise
With many wives and concubines
Bm
He fell for every single lie
C
Yeah, his head was full of dirt
[Verse 3]
G
And David's where I got my name
Abusing power, abusing fame
Bm
He stole a girl, her husband slain
C
Left six feet in the dirt
G
And Peter fell to his own shame
Denied his love, denied his name
Bm
He ran away when the people came
C
To nail him to the dirt
G
And Samson only thought it fair
To let that witch come cut his hair
Bm
And look through eyes no longer there
C
As he crushed them in the dirt
G
And Paul would sit upon his throne
And kill us with the biggest stones
Bm
And wrestle with a thorn unknown
C
A thorn up from the dirt
[Bridge]

Samson came to destroy evil

Peter soon became the rock

Am D G Em
And it's all that I can do to keep my eyes on You
Am D G Em
And it's all that You can do to keep me, keep me, keep me new
[Outro]
Am D G D
All that I can see is that You can't see the dirt in me

All that I can see is that You can't see the dirt in me

And all that I can see is You
