I've got a hammer and an Awkward nail that won't go down I can try real hard but still it won't go down Tell me how to do it, Jesus Tell me how to do it, Jesus I don't know how The shadow in the corner is a stray cat that we found I paid a thousand bucks once to keep that cat around Now it's lying on the pavement And the kids are crying: Save it! But I don't know how Did you straighten that nail with a magic tool? Did you ever get tired and want to change the rules, Jesus? What's amazing to me about a man like you Is that you raised the dead, but had to suffer too, Jesus I've got a mountain up ahead and a few I've left behind And I'm getting kind of scared of what I'm going to find Were you scared to do it, Jesus? Tell me how you did it, Jesus I don't how If the present is a place that my future will define I want to slow things down and take a little time Can you help me do it Jesus? I want to live a little Jesus But I don't know how Did you straighten that nail with a magic tool? Did you ever get tired and want to change the rules, Jesus? What's amazing to me about a man like you Is that you raised the dead, but had to suffer too, Jesus
