You know I ran across an old box of letters
When I was bagging up some clothes for Good Will
And you know I had to laugh that the same old struggles
that plagued me then are plaguing me still
I know the road is long from the ground to glory
But a boy can hope he's getting some place
But you see I'm running from the very clothes I'm wearing
And dressed like this I'm fit for the chase
Prechorus:
No there is none righteous
Not one who understands
There is none who seek God no not one
I said no not one
I am thankful that I'm incapable of doing any good on my own
Cause we're all still born and dead in our transgressions
And we're shackled up to the sin we hold so dear
So what part can I play In the work of redemption
Cause i can't refuse I cannot add a thing
Prechorus:(same as above)
Cause I am just like Lazarus
I can hear Your voice
I stand and rub my eyes and walk to You
Because I have no choice
Chorus:(same as above just twice as long)
Cause I am thankful that I'm incapable of doing any good on my own
I'm so thankful that I'm incapable of doing any good on my own
Bridge:(harmonica plays bridge over this guitar part)
Prechorus:(same as above)
It's by grace I have been saved
through faith that's not my own
It is the gift of God and not by works
lest anyone should boast
Chorus:(once without guitar)
Chorus:(with guitar)
(end with one hard downstroke on E)
That's it listen to the cd for some of the timing and strum patterns
This is a great song by one of the great Christian bands of our day.
Enjoy
