James Hersch - Slender Thread of Faith Lyrics




There's a little corner grocery store
Where Murphy spent most of his sixty four years
There's a dollar hangin' by the door
The first dollar that little store ever cleared
Now the neighborhood has changed
There's a big food market just down the way
But Murphy smiles when Murphy sees
That first dollar bill, he still believes

He's hanging by a slender thread of faith
He's sheltered from the bitter wind, the fickle winds of fate
Far above the greedy and the trouble they create
He's hanging by a slender thread of faith

On an Easter Sunday morn
See the minister pray for words to inspire
His flock of thirty four
The trumpets don't play, there is no choir
The church right down the block
Has a TV show and a giant flock
But the Lord will bless them both the same
All that gather in his name are

They're hanging by a slender thread of faith
He's sheltered from the bitter wind, the fickle winds of fate
Far above the greedy and the trouble they create
He's hanging by a slender thread of faith

I know that sometimes it's hard to hang on
But this thread is guaranteed
To be just as long and just as strong
As you will ever need

There's a boy at the edge of town
With a rusty old bike and second hand clothes
But he's happy just to be around
Where he gets that smile, I don't really know
But sometimes when I'm not right
I sit by my window and wait for the sight
Of that penniless boy with the priceless face
He can put my troubles in their place

He's hanging by a slender thread of faith
He's sheltered from the bitter wind, the fickle winds of fate
Far above the greedy and the trouble they create
He's hanging by a slender thread
He's hanging by a slender thread
He's hanging by a slender thread of faith
