Playing Marbles With Diamonds - Steve Camp

Waking up to a very different world

We got mud on our flag

Before it’s even been unfurled

Our heroes are falling

And a leader is hard to find, yeah

Oh, the clock is running out

We’re casting our pearls before swine

Ah, there’s a whole lot more

Than preaching to the choir

Kneeling at the altar

Or paying our tithe

We’ve been treating God

Like He’s happiness for hire

We’ve been playing marbles with diamonds

Isn’t it a shame

How His name gets thrown around

We pat God on the back

Like a buddy from out of town

We thank the «man upstairs»

For the things people praise us for

Oh, we give God the glory

But we’re happy to take the award

Ah, there’s a whole lot more

Than raising lots of money

Building our churches

And spreading our fame

Faith is just the dice

That you roll to get lucky

We’ve been playing marbles with diamonds

There are precious things of God

And we must guard them with our lives

Like an unborn baby’s dreams

Like a husband loves a wife

May the hope of His returning

May it purify our faith

As we hold on to His holy word

May the chaff be blown away

Can we ever live up

To the things that we say we believe

'Cause the world is watching

They’re looking for some honesty

Ah, we’ve been riding down a freeway

Instead of on a narrow road, yeah

We’ve turned a passion for the lost

Into a business of saving souls

Ah, there’s a whole lot more

Than preaching to the choir

Kneeling at the altar

Or paying our tithe

We’ve been treating God

Like He’s happiness for hire

We’ve been playing marbles, ah, with diamonds

There’s a whole lot more

As we’re making lots of money

Building our churches

And spreading our fame

Faith is just the dice

That you roll to get lucky

We’ve been playing marbles with diamonds, yeah

Playing marbles with diamonds

Playing marbles with diamonds

Playing marbles with diamonds
