Can't Let Me Down

We pray to our gods of money
And to our bodies
Sweet like honey
And it's funny

Cause I see the temporary
And I think it contrary
To grasp for a mist
Cause when you open your fist
All you see is disappointment

Jesus can't let me down
He's the one I can count on
In a smile, in a frown
He won't let me down

I don't wanna listen to Youth
It tells me to live it up
I prefer the truth
Need no sign for proof
Cause I can just go on Your word

Don't wanna be
That wicked and perverse generation
Raise my eyes up
To wait on your voice

Cause I see the temporary
And I think it contrary
To grasp for a mist
Cause when you open your fist
All you see is frustration

Jesus can't let me down
He's the one I can count on
In a smile, in a frown
He won't let me down

When days run into the next
Nothing new under the sun
I smile, not perplexed
Cause you said it'd be this way
So I can count on...

Not me, not my
Not my generation
Not answers from foolish Youth
But seek... and wait... and listen

(quietly)
He can't let me down...
He won't let me down...
Jesus can't let me down...
His blood's never NOT enough...
In a smile in a frown
He's never let me down

(louder)
Our gods of money
Oh oh honey
And your little body
(quiet) they fade, but...

(louder now)
Jesus can't let me down --Jesus can't let me down--
He's the one I can count on --Can't let me down--
In a smile, in a frown --Can't let me down--
He won't let me down --Jesus can't let me down--
Jesus can't let me down --... Jesus can't let me down--
