His Last Roll

I held five cards

under the hanging light

Chasing a shadow

through the middle of the night

Put down my watch,

my wedding ring, my name

And watched the dealer

sweep away the game

Walked out alone

into the freezing rain

Nothing but gravel

and the weight of my pain

I hit my knees

on the chapel steps outside

With no more secrets

and no place left to hide

When I had nothing,

I finally found the light

He took my hand in the darkness of the night

I traded gold

for a grace that's free and true

Oh, when I lost it all,

He made my spirit new (hallelujah,

yes He did)

Now there's a Bible

where the cards used to sit

A quiet kitchen

with the morning candle lit

My hands don't shake

when the weekend rolls around

'Cause I am anchored

on that holy, solid ground

When I had nothing,

I finally found the light

He took my hand in the darkness of the night

I traded gold

for a grace that's free and true

Oh, when I lost it all,

He made my spirit new (yes He did, oh

mmm)

When I lost it all...

He made my spirit new
