funny kind of slave

(2000)

This song is about just what the apostle Paul spoke on - how the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. How you so want to do God's will in your heart, but your actions don't always imitate that. Being a slave to sin. The song is about the frustrations of that.

I crawled out of the hole that fell into
You came along and pushed me back
Unsteady ground I fell through
I looked up and saw you standing
On the rim of my defeat
Your remarks they floated down
And sounded like laughter to me

I'm a slave, a funny kind of slave
To what I can't see
I'm a slave, a funny, funny kind of slave
Won't you come and set me free

I scratched at the soft walls of my cell
Can't blame anybody else no, no
I got here by myself
But you, you rescued me
And I, I wanna believe

No I don't know, don't know what its all, all about yet
Haven't got it all, I haven't got it all figured out
You came to be, you are the lover of my soul
So throw me a rope Lord and get me out of this hole

I'm a slave, a funny kind of slave
To what I can't see
I'm a slave, a funny, funny kind of slave
Won't you come and set me free
