[Verse 1]
Em D C/G G C/G G D/F#
Oh Brother Thomas, did you walk away from Jesus wondering if it was all a dream?
Em D C/G G C/G D/F# G
Did all your doubts creep back and tell you that your fingers hadn't ever touched a single thing?
Em D C/G G C/G G D/F#
Cause I have read that story so many times where you healed that man and he could see perfectly again
Em D C/G G C/G D/F# G
But in between it reads that all he saw were men as trees, and that's all that seems to cloud my vision
[Chorus]
C/G G C/G G
Cause all the friends I know have never ever met you
C/G G D
Does that mean that they deserve to die?
C/G G C/G G
But I heard once that you came here as love for all of us
C/G D/F# G
And not to pull the wood from out of our eyes
[Break]

[Verse 2]
Em D C/G G C/G G D/F#
My mother, she was always working in the yard growing life from your sun and from her dirt
Em D C/G G C/G D/F# G
So I would read those words but nothing ever seemed to grow except my lonely brother's hurt
Em D C/G G C/G G D/F#
Oh holy preacher, did you ever think that maybe there was more to life than dying in a pew?
Em D C/G G C/G D/F# G
Isn't this whole world just hell enough for all of us, do you have to murder them for all the things they do
[Chorus]
C/G G C/G G C/G G D
Cause all the friends I know have never ever heard you speak and I know when you speak it brings up life
C/G G C/G G C/G Em G
So would you, pretty please, come speak to all of them and me, growing us collectively into your wife
[Break]
Ohh...

[Verse 3]
Em D C/G G C/G G D
Lead me to the mountain, write it out on those stone tablets what it is that you decide's the truth
Em D C/G G C/G D/F# G
But I think I want my hands to bleed from loving, not from condemning. Isn't love what he would have us do?
[Chorus]
C/G G C/G G C/G G D
All my friends and I, we have stolen, we have lied, and we have looked upon each other full of lust
C/G G C/G G C/G Em G
But you carried your cross when it seemed that I was lost, so I know that you could carry all of us
C/G G C/G G C/G Em G
But you carried your cross when it knew that I was lost, so I hope that you could carry all of us
