Bless This Mess

[Verse 1]
God bless the man who stumbles
God bless the man who falls
God bless the man who yields to temptation

[Verse 2]
God bless the woman who suffers
God bless the woman who weeps
God bless the children trying her patience

[Chorus 1]
Trouble getting over it is what you’re in for so pour yourself another
Cause it’ll take a steady pair of hands
Holy or unholy ghost well now i can’t tell but either way you cut it
You should get some distance if you plan
To take a stand

[Verse 3]
God bless the house divided
God bless the weeds in the wheat
God bless the lamp lit under a bushel

[Pre-Chorus]
I discovered hell to be the poison in the well
So I tried to warn the others of the curse
Then my body turned on me; I dreamt that for eternity
My family would burn, then I awoke
With a wicked thirst

[Chorus 2]
By my baby’s yellow bed
I kissed her forehead and rubbed her little tummy
Wondering if she’d soon despise the smell
Of the booze on my breath like her mom
Through a darkened mirror I have seen my own reflection
And it makes me want to be a better man
After another drink

[Verse 4]
God bless the man at the crossroads
God bless the woman who still can’t sleep
God bless the history that doesn’t repeat
