Romans 10:9

John Darnielle

[Verse 1]
Wake up sixty minutes after my head hits the pillow
I can't live like this
And in the shower I am a sailor, standing waiting
Ready for the ship to list

Everything looks burned up
I'm too scared to look around
Don't feel like going on but
Come on, make a joyful sound

[Chorus]
If you will believe in your heart
And confess with your lips
Surely you will be saved one day

[Verse 2]
Try to think of ways to fix myself
But everything ends in a cul-de-sac
The beast broke from the barn while we were sleeping
Face it, face it, he's not coming back

Don't see what the point is
In even trying to fight
Look for the bigger picture
When I close my eyes real tight

[Chorus]
If you will believe in your heart
And confess with your lips
Surely you will be saved one day

[Bridge]
Look for the sign of Daniel
Consider the clues
Wait as long as I have to
For good news

[Verse 3]
Wake and rise and face the day
And try to stop the day from staring back at me
Busy hours for joyful hearts
And later maybe head out to the pharmacy

Won't take the medication
But it's good to have around
A kind and loving god
Won't let my small ship run aground

[Chorus]
If you will believe in your heart
And confess with your lips
Surely you will be saved one day
