Bitter

Gotta know the bitter to taste the sweet
Step into the cold before you warm your feet
Gotta know the bitter to taste the sweet

Down a branch and into the dust, a snake of Eden she come to trust.
Eve my dearest take a bite. Know two wrongs can make a right
Know all that you can ever know. This knowing tree will make it so
Lies slidin’ off a golden tongue he caused that woman to come undone

CHORUS

Deep inside the belly of the beast, Prayin’ for his soul’s release
Broken down and cast away, begging God for the light of day
How is this sufferin’ justified? Was it greed or sin, my fear or pride?
‘Ol Jonah tried to understand, Why a God would hate a man?

CHORUS

Waters ran with blood so red. The first born sons of the houses dead
A Phaoroh makes his final stand. You shall remain and work my land
Your Generations bend to me. My Glory through eternity
A headstrong King with hardened heart, never dreamin’ that a Sea could part
