Suits of
Skin Lyrics
Words and
music by Mitch McVicker
There is
so much more inside of each of us
It can
be so overwhelming to think about who it is
Who makes
us who we are
In us He
lives, but can we stretch out that far
'Cause our
Lord must be so big and I know that we are small
So how
does He ever fit within the walls
We use
to protect ourselves
I guess
we're clogged just like the gates of hell
And He stands
and knocks on the door to our heart
And when
we let Him in
His love
will overtake us 'cause that's what He
Brings
along with Him
Chorus
Yeah, He
chose to make us His home, so how can we house Him
When our
souls are wrapped around our bones
And we've
got suits of skin
Well, I
won't believe anymore that what you see is what you get
We push
our spirits down and let our flesh come out on top
Oh, but
He is still around and He says that our bodies could drop
Off of
the face of the earth
And it
wouldn't be our loss, we'd see what our soul is worth
And He calls
us to the place where our heart is
And will
it go for not
Well, He
will never give up on us
No matter
what the cost
Chorus
He chose
to make us His home
Ah, but
how can we house Him
When our
souls are wrapped around our bones
And we've
got suits of skin
Chorus
'Cause we
got suits of skin,
Ah, we've
got suits of skin
Suits of
skin

From Mitch:
I heard
a phrase in a song that gave me the idea for this song title. Then it got
me thinking that we put to much stock in appearance. What we see is such
a big part of our lives, but there is much more to each one of us than
meets the eye.
