Lord Are You For Hire?

LORD ARE YOU FOR HIRE?

BY ANDY ALLCHURCH

 

Tell me lord, are you for hire?

My faith is dying, there’s no halo of fire

This heart I own is out on a limb

I need you lord, to take away my sin

 

 

Faith was my foundation lord

I focused on your spoken word

But the serpents tongue fed me false flattery

Now I know what an invisible dream can be

Your word should have stayed alive in my heart

And never will my faith again, fall apart

The meaning of your visions will once more aspire

Just tell me lord, are you for hire?

 

 

Tell me lord, are you for hire?

My faith is dying, there’s no halo of fire

This heart I own is out on a limb

I need you lord, to take away my sin

 

 

Painful is this sinner’s world

Strike me with the believers’ sword

And let this branch find sweet fruit again

Now I know that unearthly unholy treasure causes pain

A cure for ignorance lord is what I need

To stamp out this unholy creed, unworthy seed

For me to approach the holy throne of desire

Just tell me lord, are you for hire?

 

 

Tell me lord, are you for hire?

My faith is dying, there’s no halo of fire

This heart I own is out on a limb

I need you lord, to take away my sin

 

 

Finding strength in weakness lord

Is in your power and my accord

So please acquiesce help me in holy quest

Now I know that serpents speak only in jest

Your words of hope and faith and sweet charity

Can remove me from drowning in, fools company

And the jewels that sing praise are heavens choir

Just tell me lord, are you for hire?

 

 

Tell me lord, are you for hire?

My faith is dying, there’s no halo of fire

This heart I own is out on a limb

I need you lord, to take away my sin

 

 

Tell me lord, are you for hire?

My faith is dying, there’s no halo of fire

This heart I own is out on a limb

I need you lord, to take away my sin.
