Showbread

Showbread is an American Christian rock band formed in Guyton, Georgia in 1997. The group has gone through numerous lineup changes since its initial formation, but maintains its two core members, Josh Dies and Patrick Porter. The group built an underground fanbase in the late 1990s and early 2000s through word-of-mouth exposure and frequent touring. In 2004, the band signed with Tooth & Nail Records and released their major-label debut, No Sir, Nihilism Is Not Practical. In 2010, the band left Tooth & Nail and joined Come&Live!, an independent record label that releases music via free downloads. more »

I am made of parts that freeze and ligaments that atrophy 
Though they look they'll never see 
They don't know something's wrong with me 
And just as well, I'll never tell what's underneath the scales 
I've worn to thin to honor you, my every effort fails 
So bury me with Israel and cover up my tracks 
Leave not a trace of what I was, I'm never coming back 
And if you're mercy falls upon he whose blood is cold 
Unearth me with your hands of love and never break your hold 

The world is full of ones like me 
Who need to see the truth 
But the truth is never truth indeed 
The truth is only you 

Jesus bless the crocodiles, forgive the cobras and all the snakes 
Open up your arms to carry all of our mistakes 
Suck the venom from every bite and vomit every drop 
Some of us may bite your hand but some of us will not 
And every knee will bow before you, each forked tongue confess 
My selfishness will rot in me and I will seek your rest 
Still some lizards fell from you, ashamed of all they've been 
So Jesus take myself from me, never bring it back again 

The world is full of ones like me, who need to see the truth 
But the truth is never truth indeed, the truth is only you 
The world will soon become extinct, the age will pass away 
And all will know that you are God, hallowed be your name 

Jesus bless the crocodiles, forgive the cobras and all the snakes 
Open up your arms to carry all of our mistakes 
Forgive the basilisk, forgive the moccasins and adders too 
Have mercy on each alligator that never lived for you 
I myself hatched from an egg, no white light from above 
Just another ancient serpent that never earned your love 
But still you find me underneath the rocks and in the ground 
I cowered there just short of air and never made a sound 
It's true that I'm in love with you, and even in my shame 
You wipe away the imperfections and take away the pain 
You wrap your loving arms around this wretched thing called me 
Your love is all I'll ever need, your love has set me free 

The truth is only you.
