WE WERE FACED WITH DEADLINES
BEFORE THE BILLS CAME DUE
WE ASKED FOR A MIRACLE FROM GOD,
BUT THE MORTGAGE FELL THROUGH
I KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE SAID,
BUT STILL MY DREAM IS DEAD
I CONFESSED THE POSITIVE VERSE,
MERE WORDS THAT FELL TO EARTH?
SQUARE ONE
DID I REALLY HEAR GOD'S VOICE?
SQUARE ONE
UNDERSTAND WHAT I SAY
SQUARE ONE
HAVE I TOTALLY COUNTED THE COST?
SQUARE ONE
DARED TO TRULY OBEY?
SATAN BRINGS THE EVIL DEEDS.
DESTROYS AND STEALS WHAT'S OURS
BUT I THOUGHT THIS WAS A TRIAL
TO SHOW GOD'S OVERCOMING POWER
IS MY MOTIVE SELFISHNESS,
MY INNER GOAL SIMPLY PRIDE
I WANT TO KNOW FROM THIS DAY ON,
HOW TO WALK BY GOD'S SIDE
(Chorus)
