Verse 1 (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

Prechorus 1:
                             
    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


Chorus:
                                        
My faith is like shifting sand, swayed by every wave
                                       
My faith is like shifting sand, so I stand on grace


Verse 2 (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

Prechorus 2:
                   
    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


Bridge:
                                 
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

I stand on grace


And that's all of it.  It's a really nice song.  Feel free to feedback.
