Stumble and Fall

Bluebird Cafe off of music row and all they ever told him was no no and no He was outta time and outta dough cause they never played his songs on the radio Then and there he kneeled to pray and these are the words he heard that day We may stumble and we may fall knew today’d be the day you'd call We may stumble and we may fall write about Peter Pilate and Paul Now don't worry son take my hand and I'll lead you to the promised land Get your verse from the scripture make it vivid so they get the picture Paint 'em rainbows and the clear blue skies fire and brimstone from the lightning strikes Heaven's streets are paved with gold Hell is hotter than the sun tenfold We may stumble and we may fall illustrate that big fireball We may stumble and we may fall don't cost a dime to make this call The crown of thorns were on my head just so you could have a comfy bed They pounded the nails in my feet here's the scar would you like to see it I'll be back in a purple robe to pass judgment across the globe Bring to life my Holy Spirit crank it up so they can hear it We may stumble and we may fall listen to the words of apostle Paul We may stumble and we may fall watch out for that summer squall All the hearts of woman and man were formulated from my master plan The devil gets in when you drop your guard so pass along my business card Think of me day and night and I'll be here to fight the fight The groundwork's down for you to walk the walk so consider this our little talk We may stumble and we may fall you won't walk until you crawl We may stumble and we may fall I'll show up whenever you call All the goose bumps and the standing hair how in the world did they get there I can send a chill up and down your spine or appear as a vision to convince your mind Life is not a perfect painting so get off your knees the world's awaiting We may stumble and we may fall I'm the judge jury and all We may stumble and we may fall there's your answer so get on the ball We may stumble and we may fall turn it up and tell em all!
