This phrase was said to me many times. How about you? Josiah Queen takes that phrase and makes a beautiful song that redeems those words and points us back to God’s love for us. Our family loves jamming to this song on our roadtrips. Please remember always who and whose you are!
Intro]
Watch your mouth, boy, don’t you talk like that
The holes inside my hands show you have all my love
[Verse 1]
I know that I’m not good enough
Know I will never measure up
My hands are about to fold
It’s hard to get up out of bed
I look up to the sky, and I say
“I’m done, I’m done”
And He said
[Chorus]
Watch your mouth, boy, don’t you talk like that
The holes inside my hands show you have all my love (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
You’re my child, the apple of my eye
The holes inside my side show you have all my love (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
So why wouldn’t you live life like you were worth me dying for?
[Verse 2]
And my dearest of apologies
The finding of the death of me
I found the Lord
I give up giving into lies
I’m trading all my deaths for life
I remember what you said to me
[Chorus]
Watch your mouth, boy, don’t you talk like that
The holes inside my hands show you have all my love (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
You’re my child, the apple of my eye
The holes inside my side show you have all my love (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
So why wouldn’t you live life like you were worth me dying for?
[Interlude]
Hey
You have all my love
[Chorus]
Watch your mouth, boy, don’t you talk like that
The holes inside my hands show you have all my love (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
You’re my child, the apple of my eye
The holes inside my side show you have all my love (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
So why wouldn’t you live life like you were worth me dying for?
