Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Started with a storm in my chest
Prayin’ hard but livin’ like the rest
Then I heard that line cut clean and plain
“Don’t doubt, don’t drift, hold tight in the rain”
Rich man’s gold just rust and dust
Poor man’s crown is quiet trust
Every test that tears me at the seams
Can grow a stronger heart than all my dreams
[Chorus]
So I’m walkin’ slow through James
Letting every word rearrange
All the crooked roads I paved
All the pride I tried to save
Lord, I’m tired of talkin’ brave
While my life won’t change
Break me down, build me up
As I walk slow
Walk slow through James
[Verse 2]
Mirror on the wall, I turn away
Forget my face before I even pray
Quick to speak and slow to hear
I leave a trail of wounded years
Tongue like fire in a summer field
Burnin’ through the love I should’ve healed
Heaven’s wisdom gentle, pure and kind
But I’ve chased every storm cloud in my mind
[Chorus]
So I’m walkin’ slow through James
Letting every word rearrange
All the crooked roads I paved
All the pride I tried to save
Lord, I’m tired of talkin’ brave
While my life won’t change
Break me down, build me up
As I walk slow
Walk slow through James
[Bridge]
Faith that only lives in lines I quote
Never feeds a hungry soul, never mends a coat
Tell me where the orphans are, where the widows weep
Teach these work-worn hands the promises I keep
I’ve chased the world, I’ve chased my will
I’ve been loud and I’ve been still
Now I lay my boasting in the dust
And whisper one more time, “Teach me to trust”
[Chorus]
I’m still walkin’ slow through James
Letting every word rearrange
All the crooked roads I paved
All the pride I tried to save
Lord, I’m done with talkin’ brave
While my life won’t change
Break me down, build me up
As I walk slow
Walk slow through James
[Outro]
When this heart is finally home at last
May my days say more than all my past
Just a quiet trail of mercy in my wake
From a borrowed strength
And a borrowed grace
