[Verse 1]
I set the plate, then I looked away
Hand on my heart, I had to pray
If I can't stand it, I won't take the bite
I need a clean soul in the dim-out light
I heard the warning in the back of my mind
Some things taste sweet, but they leave a scar behind
I don't move fast when my spirit shakes
I won't say yes with a doubt in my face
[Pre-Chorus]
If I reach, let me reach in grace
If I step, let my feet stay safe
I don't want no empty gain
I need truth in my veins
[Chorus]
And he that doubteth
Is damned if he eat
Because he eateth not of faith
Because he eateth not of faith
Whatsoever is not of faith
Whatsoever is not of faith
It is sin, it is sin
So I wait, so I wait
[Verse 2]
Old habits call with a velvet tongue
But I know that road, and I know what's come
Better one hard no than a hollow yes
Better a humble soul than a borrowed dress
I seen folks grin with a restless flame
Turn every blessing into shame
So I keep my step where the light is clear
I don't let fear dress up as fear
[Pre-Chorus]
If I reach, let me reach in grace
If I step, let my feet stay safe
I don't want no empty gain
I need truth in my veins
[Chorus]
And he that doubteth
Is damned if he eat
Because he eateth not of faith
Because he eateth not of faith
Whatsoever is not of faith
Whatsoever is not of faith
It is sin, it is sin
So I wait, so I wait
[Bridge]
I won't break bread with a split mind
I won't chase peace that leaves me blind
If You lead me, I'll follow slow
If You don't say go, I won't go
[Final Chorus]
And he that doubteth
Is damned if he eat
Because he eateth not of faith
Because he eateth not of faith
Whatsoever is not of faith
Whatsoever is not of faith
It is sin, it is sin
So I wait, so I wait
