lyrics

Please don't take this as a threat
I don't think You've gone deaf yet,
But I don't know what else I'm supposed to do
God, show me Your only Son,
Or I'll go get me a gun,
And I'll meet Him where He is, inside His tomb

Bury me
O Father, lay me down
Here in holy ground
Here in holy ground
O bury me
O Father, lay me down
Here in holy ground
See how I come out

Saw Elijah goin' home
Saw his chariot swingin' low
Knew I'd get burned,
But I could not resist
No, I tried to crawl aboard
Though I cried and cried, "Lord! Lord!"
No, the Kingdom would not let me in

Father God, where have You been? (2x)

There's something breathing holy breaths
Sleeping with me in the depths
I dream I drown, but there's no water in my chest
One day I'll rise out of death,
But Jesus, is it finished yet?
I'm hangin' 'round this cross I can't bear myself

Bury me
O Father, lay me down
Here in holy ground
Here in holy ground
Oh, bury me
O Father, lay me down
Here in holy ground
See how I come out
