Splinters

Lyrics

Self sent a twister A tearing after me Gon' bust my house to splinters yes An' take all that's dear to me You say you saw it coming yeah But still you did not flee I was too weak I couldn't move Held by growth of a tree An' yes I fell upon that rock I did not die just badly broken An' in time my healing it will come yeah By the words that he has spoken I fell upon that rock Who is it now that loves you Straight in the front door An' crooked out the back yeah What is it now you're a slave to On your knees out in your shack I fell upon that rock yeah He's beyond the shadow Of your doubt an' mine He's no man's opinion He is truth divine Self sent a twister A tearing after me Done bust my house to splinters yeah An' took all that's dear to me Who is it now that loves you Straight in the front door An' crooked out the back yeah What is it now that you pray to As your world begins to crack I fell upon that rock yeah He's beyond the shadow Of your doubt an' mine He's no man's opinion Cos' he is truth divine An' yes I fell upon that rock I did not die just badly broken An' in time my healing came yeah By the words that he had spoken
