God is using me

God is using me
 
God is using me
To be a vessel of my sins
 
Seek redemption in dark places  
Red bird on my shoulder  
As I try to slip above heaven  
 
The weight of my lies
Won’t lift me up on the cross
 
So I sink into purgatory of deceit  
Floating somewhere in between  
 
God is using me for a purpose  
To save lost souls like me
 
I cuss and drink and gamble
Hope that my sins won’t affect them
 
Roll a fat one sorry God  
I’ve got to have a Vice
As I cough and cough and cough  
 
God is using me to be a scepter of devils
Snakes crawl around my feet
 
God is using me as the Holy Redeemer  
Lifting spirits out of the gutter
 
God is using me as the North Star
Beacon calling wayward souls
 
God is using me to lift the tablets
Deliver salvation in the sewer
 
God is using me to save a lost soul like me
God if you’re gonna use me for a purpose  
Save a lost soul like me
