Lotta folks 'round here seem to know I've changed
Still a handful or more probably think I'm crazy
I never come back much and I don't stay long
No. My daddy don't pray but he'll hum my songs
No. My daddy don't pray but he'll hum my songs
Oh I planted my roots in that old rugged cross
Said I'd lose myself
I say it's worth the cost
When you find yourself in that sacred stream
Go on dive right in
You'll see what I mean
Have you ever grown tired of the same old same
A lotta hollowed-out hope and dead end dreams
No I didn't come here to change your mind
But the Father's love ain't hard to find
No. The Father's love ain't hard to find
Oh I planted my roots in that old rugged cross
Said I'd lose myself
I say it's worth the cost
When you find yourself in that sacred stream
Go on dive right in
You'll see what I mean
You'll see what I mean
You'll see what I mean
Ooh
Go on lift your head. No need for shame
None too far gone from the hands of grace
Believe in your heart and say it out loud
A seed well-sewn is holy ground
A seed well-sewn is holy ground
Go on and plant your roots in that old rugged cross
Gonna lose yourself, but it's worth the cost
When you find yourself in that sacred stream
Go on dive right in
You'll see what I mean
Lotta folks 'round here seem to know I've changed
Still a handful or more probably think I'm crazy
