I’m Afraid Lyrics by Jason Hawk Harris

Love & the Dark

0

[Verse 1]
When I was young I prayed that He would let me be
Mother hung his picture on my wall and prayed I would believe
She'd kiss my sweaty forehead then turn out all the lights
No monster ever scared me like the face of Jesus Christ
[Verse 2]
But I listened to the promises and I came to know the Lord
And I got pain and I got suffering but I don't know what for
When I talk to Jesus I'm gonna ask him to his face:
Why'd you make this shit so hard, Lord? It feels like I've been played
[Chorus]
Oh‚ that grace; oh‚ that sound
Oh‚ that hound that hunts me down
Tracking down your prey
While I dream of endless days
I'm afraid, Lord, I'm afraid
[Verse 3]
Nothing much has changed in twenty-something years
And when I hear that awful howling I cover both my ears
I've learned to pay attention so I can feel him getting close
Buddy‚ you can't be too careful when it comes to Holy Ghosts
[Verse 4]
One day I was walking when a funny thing occurred
Saw my self across the street talking to a mockingbird
I started walking over but I should've looked both ways
They had to peel my body off an old blue Chevrolet
[Chorus]
Oh, that grace; oh, that sound
Oh‚ that hound that hunts me down
Tracking down your prey
While I dream of endless days
I'm afraid, Lord, I'm afraid
[Verse 5]
Well I woke up in a daze and thought I was alone
Then I looked to my right and saw an angel from the Lord
He was eating something when he smiled right at me
Picked me up like I weighed nothing, and I could not say a thing
[Verse 6]
No bone of mine was broken, and my eyes could plainly see
I stood on both my legs and wondered how this all could be
And he said, "Do you have your answer?" I said, "Yes I think I do"
He said, "Get down to that river, boy, St. Michael's moving through"
[Chorus]
Oh, that grace; oh, that sound
Oh, that hound that hunts me down
Tracking down your prey
While I dream of endless days
I'm afraid, Lord, I'm afraid
Oh, that grace; oh, that sound
Oh, that hound that hunts me down
Tracking down your prey
While I dream of endless days
I'm afraid, Lord, I'm afraid
