Sometimes I believe all the lies   So I can do the things I should despise   And every day I am swayed   By whatever is on my mind      I hear it all depends on my faith    So I'm feeling precarious   The only problem I have with these mysteries    Is they're so mysterious      And like a consumer I've been thinking   If I could just get a bit more   More than my 15 minutes of faith,   Then I'd be secure      (Chorus)   My faith is like shifting sand   Changed by every wave   My faith is like shifting sand    So I stand on grace      I've begged you for some proof    For my Thomas eyes to see   A slithering staff, a leperous hand   And lions resting lazily      A glimpse of your back-side glory   And this soaked altar going ablaze   But you know I've seen so much   I explained it away      Chorus      Waters rose as my doubts reigned   My sand-castle faith, it slipped away   Found myself standing on your grace   It'd been there all the time      (Chorus repeated)   Stand on grace
