 Just play the intro):
 Sometimes I believe all the lies so I can do the things I despise
 And everyday I am swayed by whatever is on my mind
 I hear it all depends on my faith so I'm feeling precarious now
 The only problem I have with these mysteries is they're so mysterious
 And like  a consumer I've been thinking
 If I could just get  a bit more
 More than my  fifteen minutes of faith
 Then I'd be  secure
 My faith  is like shifting  sand, swayed  by every  wave
 My faith  is like shifting  sand, so I stand  on grace
 just play the intro again):
 I begged you for some proof for my Thomas eyes to see
 A slitherous staff, a leprous hand, and lions resting lazily
 A glimpse of your backside  in glory
 and this  soaked altar is going  ablazed
 But you know  I've seen so much
 And I explained  it away
Waters  rose as my doubt reigned, my sand  castle faith slipped away
Found  myself standing on your grace, It's  been there all the time
 Tag:
I  stand on grace
 And that's all of it. It's a really nice song. Feel free to feedback.
 Cheers,
 Conde Monte Cristo

[C#m]    And [Bsus4]like a consumer I've been thi[E]nking

My fa[E]ith is like sh[A]ifting sand, so I [C#m]stand[Bsus4] on gra[A]ce

just play the intro again):
I begged you for some proof for my Thomas eyes to see
A slitherous staff, a leprous hand, and lions resting lazily

[C#m]    A glimpse of your [Bsus4]backside in glory
