One bright morning, I was standing
By the corner of the church
When I desperately thought
Of the sanctuary's worth
I was humbled by the goodness
And the silence of the word
So I got down on my knees
And this is what I said
Flesh and blood is all I am
Made of dust and born of the mud
Lord, be my champion
'Cause in the street I cry
Be my heart, be my friend, be my healer
All of my days
Lord, be my champion
Oh oh
As a child, I would wander
Singing words of tenderness
I broke my limbs to reach the heights
And on silence I was fed
But now I'm older, and I wander
Tryin' to find the one I love
I can sense him standing near
As I sing for him this song
Flesh and blood is all I am
Made of dust and born of the mud
Lord, be my champion
'Cause in the street I cry
Be my heart, be my friend, be my healer
All of my days
Lord, be my champion
Oh oh
Be my champion
Lord, I know that you are the one
Say Lord, I know that you are the one
Yeah, I know that you are the one
Say Lord, I know that you are the one
Flesh and blood is all I am
Made of dust and born of the mud
Lord, be my champion
'Cause in the street I cry
Be my heart, be my friend, be my healer
All of my days
Lord, be my champion
Flesh and blood is all I am
Made of dust and born of the mud
Lord, be my champion
'Cause in the street I cry
Be my heart, be my friend, be my healer
All of my days
Lord, be my champion
Oh oh
Be my champion
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
