lyrics

I’m sittin at the kitchen bar
man I’ve had a lot of good conversations here
had some hard one’s too
walked some good friends through
and been carried myself

I awoke and pulled the blinds
made sure I sat right in the sun
called out my fears one by one
and I said c’mon, you got nothing on what the night left me with
sober happiness
and the ringing in my ears

let all that speaks of God’s good love be treasured here

I once heard, woe to the one
who seeks a good name over goodness
yeah that cut me pretty deep
cause I got a real long line, for cares other than my own

we sure do choose our teachers
pushing carts through the aisles
pulling down what will fill the soul,
whenever we get home,
so whatever testifies
through sun and snow
bring it out into the clear

and let all that speaks of God’s good love be treasured here

there’s that old vigilante
selling his amp, so they’ll turn back on the heat
and that couple down in texas
carrying on the message, and shedding a lot of blood

and the ones over the seas
who know loss way more than their returns
you can see it bounding through their rooms
and shining in their eyes
and no they aint done yet
so go on and take heart
their laughing through their tears

and let all that speaks of God’s good love be treasured here
