St. Jude - Denison Witmer

She was born of missionaries somewhere overseas

And now it was that she was brought to me

Staring from her farmhouse porch and through a heavy rain

She says that inside she felt a change

The seed is for the field and the trough is for your hand

And this is something we can understand

The seed is for the field and the trough is for your hand

And this is something we can understand

But you feel something wrong

And you know what it is

And your father will never understand

But I can

I can pull you out

I can pull you out

Picture of St. Jude is on the candle that i burned

Saint of my lost causes and concerns

Alone and in my bedroom

My guitar and wooden chair

Play out all my thoughts until the end

The prayers go soft, you can feel them even more

As they echo down the hall and hardwood floor

The tubes sound warm and the instrument plays well

How long I have waited I can’t tell

How long I have waited I can’t tell
