    Lyrics

    James 1:13-17, Matt. 5:27-30/Matt. 18:7-9, Romans 6

    Well, it seems like it’s so hard to wait
    feelin’ like a fire that’s been burnin’ all day
    so, I stand alone, sing as I sway,
    “Don’t you go in where the shadows lay.”

    Life is a child
    crawling on the pavement
    I am a house
    hide my faults in the basement

    The light it shines
    where darkness lays his head
    don’t be misled
    young lust bears sin bears death

    Well, it seems like it’s so hard to wait
    feelin’ like a fire that’s been burnin’ all day
    so, I stand alone, sing as I sway,
    “Don’t you go in where the shadows lay.”

    The skin’s a fire
    don’t get caught in the blaze
    losin’ an arm
    is better than diggin’ a grave

    Love is the way
    to find freedom in chains
    God is the bronze
    I, the dove in the cage

    Well, it seems like it’s so hard to wait
    feelin’ like a fire that’s been burnin’ all day
    so, I stand alone, sing as I sway,
    “Don’t you go in where the shadows lay.”
