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!
