My daddy said 'Make your peace with God
or lie down with the devil. If you choose the latter
you reject the first.'
He said, 'Son you ain't no God and son
you ain't no devil. So choose this day
who are you gonna serve.'
In the morning, I wake to find I'm just a man
in the middle of a war
flesh and blood hanging on to something
deeper down.
I'm making peace with the Lord.
My momma said, 'Get off of the throne of your own heart
or stay king. If you choose the latter,
you'll be overthrown.'
She said, 'Son you'd better listen
or you'll lose everything
and your heart won't have a place to call a home.'
In the morning, I wake to find a broken kingdom
in the middle of the floor
bowing down to a better king
than ever I was
and the kingdom is restored inside of me.
I'm making peace with the Lord.
Won't somebody turn the light on
cause it's too dark to see
we've been scared so long that fear planted a seed.
and that fear became a fruit
that fell the foot of my tree.
Where the perfect love is fear can never be.
In the morning I wake to find a bitter pain
I've felt this feeling once before
Fear has taught me not to trust a single soul
but I don't need fear anymore
because a kingdom has been restored inside of me
I'm making peace with the Lord.
