Shifting Sand Lyrics - Caedmons Call

Sometimes I believe all the lies 

So I can do the things I should despise 

And every day I am swayed 

By whatever is on my mind 

I hear, it all depends on my faith 

So I'm feeling precarious 

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 15 minutes of faith 

Then I'd be secure 

My faith is like shifting sand 

Changed by every wave 

My faith is like shifting sand 

So I stand on grace, stand on grace 

I've begged you for some proof 

For my Thomas eyes to see 

Slithering staff, a leprous hand 

And lions resting lazily 

A glimpse of your back-side glory 

And this soaked altar going ablaze 

But you know I've seen so much 

I explained it away 

My faith is like shifting sand 

Changed by every wave 

My faith is like shifting sand 

So I stand on grace 

Waters rose as my doubts reigned 

My sand-castle faith, it slipped away 

Found myself standing on your grace 

It'd been there all the time 

My faith is like shifting sand 

Changed by every wave 

My faith is like shifting sand 

So I stand on grace 

My faith is like shifting sand 

Changed by every wave 

My faith is like shifting sand 

So I stand on grace, stand on grace
