Christian In the House
Karen Peck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna need someone to see me through
And when i'm alone, and full of doubt
I'll be lookin' for a believer to pull me out
I need a spirit-filled, iron-willed heaven-blessed, pass-the-test-
Saint to remind me
That i'm straight-runnin', over-comin', saved-by-grace-child-of-faith
I need to know is there a christian in the house
Someone to lend a hand
Is there a christian in the house
Come on and take a stand
I don't need a doctor when my hope is runnin' out
Somebody tell me is there a christian in the house
There are days, i'm a mess
I'm gonna need someone to ease the stress
There are nights, full of tears
When i'm prayin' for an angel to appear
Don't need a stone throwin', undertowin', analyzin', criticizin',
Judge to deflate me
I want a life-givin', gospel-drivin', gentle, ever-lovin' nudge
I need to know is there a christian in the house
Someone to lend a hand
Is there a christian in the house
Come on and take a stand
I don't need a doctor when my hope is runnin' out
Somebody tell me is there a christian in the house
I need a spirit filled, iron willed heaven blessed pass the test
Saint to remind me that i'm straight running overcomin' saved by
Grace child of faith, faith, faith
I need to know is there a christian in the house
Someone to lend a hand
Is there a christian in the house
Come on and take a stand
I don't need a doctor when my hope is runnin' out
Somebody tell me is there a christian in the house
House,
Somebody tell me, is there a christian in the house
Somebody tell me (whispered)
