Craig (feat. MercyMe)

Uh

I met Craig at a church called Redeeming Grace

It′s like he understood my "I don't wanna be here" face

I didn′t bow my head, not one single prayer

But he just shook my hand, said "I'm glad you're here"

He says "We′ll all be judged"

But he was never judgemental

And even though my songs don′t belong in no hymna

He'd quote me my lyrics, slap me on the back

Said, "Man, you′ve got a gift! How you write like that?"

Yeah, I know (I know), he sounds cool right?

Not your typical kid from Sunday School, right?

I still ain't figured out church yet (nope)

But Craig, I get

So now he can′t walk on water, turn the Napa Valley red

But he just might be tight with a man that did

Now he's ain′t the light of the world

But I wish that mine was bright as his

Yeah he just might be tight with a man that is

Woo!

Hey

Said when you lose a record deal, yeah, all the perks fade fast

Dealership said, "We're gonna need to get that mini-van back"

So we were down to one car

And broke as I fell

My wife and six kids and only five seat belts

I needed help (please), but couldn't admit I was struggling

Said, "Craig, it′s all good" (it′s all good)

But he knew it all wasn't

A "Hey man I′m prayin' for you" would′ve been sufficient, but nah

He took roadside assistance to a whole other level

To sacrificial heights

Showed up at the ballpark after my son's game one night

In two cars, with his wife Laura watchin′ from the other

I said, "What in the world are y'all doing here, brother?"

He just laughed inside that old Chrysler Town and Country van

With the keys, and a title, and a pen in his hand

Said, "Man, all you got to do is sign and it's yours"

I said "Nah, no way", but he wouldn′t take "no" for an answer

He said "Please do, somebody did this for me once

Just let me do this for you"

We argued about it for a little while

Then I teared up, and Craig smiled

So now he can′t walk on water

Turn Napa Valley red

But he just might be tight with a man that did

Now he ain't the light of the world

But I wish that mine was bright as his

Yeah, he just might be tight with a man that is

Woo-ooh

Ay, ay, ay

Yeah, I know he sounds cool right?

Not your typical kid from Sunday School, right?

I still ain′t figured out church yet (nope)

But Craig, I get

So now he can't walk on water, turn the Napa Valley red

But he just might be tight with a man that did

Oh he′s ain't the light of the world

But I wish mine was bright as his

Yeah, he just might be tight with a man that is

My pride was way too ashamed to be adequately grateful at the moment

But I signed the dotted line, and I drove the kids home

And when the cop pulled up beside us

At the light, they didn′t have to duck

'Cause thanks to Craig

They were all buckled up
