lyrics

There’s a hole in ground that I been digging
Gonna build my house on firm foundation
And I’ll sweat and bleed and cry in the shaping
And I’ll savor the taste as they mix on my lips

Will you bury me by the pecan tree?
At the back of the yard about 3 feet deep?
Will let my skin mingle with the dirt?
Do worry about me, baby it won’t hurt!

It’s not a life that I been long living
But I’m old enough to know I’ll be sinning
And I ain’t stopped but I been learning
To know & live like I’m forgiven

I stole from the Lord, I lied to my face
I made my baby cry, I’m a disgrace
These calloused hands can’t match my heart
There’s no blood in my veins, I’m a living corpse

This life ain’t mine that I been living
It was brought for price I been hearing
I’ve learned enough to know I’ll be fighting
Till the day I die I’ll be dying

There’s a hole in ground that I been digging
Gonna build my house on firm foundation
And I’ll sweat and bleed and cry in the making
I’ll die with a smile as they mix on my lips

I am nothing, dust and ashes is all I am (hence the name:), and thankfully so. If any good things come from me, it is by the grace of the God that made me. ... more
