And he says the faithful shall not want for anything
When the good lord come to take us
And the flowers bloom and grow in everlasting spring
And he's busting loose and breaking even
Glory-bound and true-believing
Riding down the edge of a switchblade knife
And he speaks the truth that frees us
And he moves on when he pleases
And he wears the cross of Jesus as he wanders through this life
She's a waitress and a mother
She's a patient force of nature living in a double-wide
And she used to be a dancer
'Cause she loves the lord and she keeps the covenant inside
And she's busting loose and breaking even
Glory-bound and true-believing
Dancing down the edge of a switchblade knife
And she speaks the truth that frees us
'Cause she knows us when she sees us
And she wears the cross of Jesus as she wanders through this life
Yes, she's busting loose and breaking even
Glory-bound and true-believing
Dancing down the edge of a switchblade knife
And she speaks the truth that frees us
'Cause she knows us when she sees us
And she wears the cross of Jesus as she wanders through this life
Now, I'm only a beginner
I'm a helpless mortal sinner
I'm a self-reflecting, derilecting also-ran
But I'm a tender of the fire
And I think I've had a vision of the promised land
And I'm busting loose and breaking even
Glory-bound and true-believing
Living on the edge of a switchblade knife
And I keep that truth that frees us
And I deal with my diseases
And I wear the cross of Jesus as I wander through this life
Yes, I wear the cross of Jesus as I wander through this life
