The Stories I Tell Myself

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Never faced a battle that he couldn't win And all you ever wanted was to be like him But he drank his way through your teenage years Now you're stuck with the bill for your father's sins These are the stories I tell myself [Verse 2] This town has a ceilin' that you'll never break through You'll always be alone in a crowded room And no matter how hard you work, it's true You'll never be enough just bein' you These are the stories I tеll myself [Chorus] Oh, when I think of Abraham Countin' the stars up in thе sky And when I think of Jacob Fightin' an angel for his life And when I think of Joshua Walkin' 'round the walls until they fell These are the stories I tell myself These are the stories I tell [Verse 3] My children, there are lessons that I cannot teach There's always gonna be somethin' out of reach By the grace of God, you remember well These are the stories you'll tell [Chorus] When I think of Abraham Countin' the stars up in the sky When I think of Jacob Fightin' an angel for his life And when I think of Joshua Walkin' 'round the walls until they fell These are the stories I tell myself These are the stories I tell These are the stories I tell myself These are the stories I tell [Bridge] And when I think about Jesus Oh-oh-oh When I think about Jesus He never faced a battle that He couldn't win And all I ever needed, I found in Him And He made a way through the wilderness From glory to glory, He is my story [Chorus] When I think of Abraham Countin' the stars up in the sky When I think of Jacob Fightin' an angel for his life And when I think of Joshua Walkin' 'round the walls until they fell They went before me, and these are the stories I think of Noah Lookin' for a sign after the rain When I think about Moses Speakin' for the powerless in faith When I think about Joseph Dreamin' at the bottom of a well These are the stories I tell myself These are the stories I tell These are the stories I tell myself These are the stories I tell myself
