lyrics

I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But I don’t think that’s true

So Jesus came down
To talk to my old friends
He told them they should be praying
Harder for me

Hallelujah

And you leave us with more
Grace than forgiveness
Or is it
More goodness than grace

Hallelujah

So we sing
We will follow you wherever you lead
Just tell us where you need us to be
So we sing
David, oh, David
Where have you gone?
David, oh, David
Sing us a song

Oh David
Most of us
Would like to please the lord too
But we cannot play like you
Do you know what it feels like
To be here on the outside
Watching as you earn the Lord’s trust

Hallelujah

Oh David
Tell us
What is your secret?
What are you hiding from us?
Now save us, yes us
Let our sins be forgiven
Amen

David, oh, David
Where have you gone?
David, oh, David
Sing us a song!
We were all good men hiding in caves
We were all brave men feeling afraid
We will follow you wherever you lead
Just tell us where you need us to be
