Give and take
What I don't make
So much pressure
And the compresser is me
In my folly

Simply that one thing
That one thing so far stinted
God I'm sorry
I'm a dork without horns
Witchcraft my previous father

Keep asking eh?
Questions fill the mouth of a donkey
You so perfect before me
Promises unfilled and a skull full of hope
Rotten to the bone

Redemption to live
I want to live
Instead of being a joke
All things through Christ
And Christ calls me a "Loser."

Focusing on these lines:

Redemption to live
I want to live
Instead of being a joke
All things through Christ
And Christ calls me a "Loser."

I agree that redemption and "all things" come through Christ, but I do believe, no matter how many times  we fall or fail, He will never call you a "loser". It takes a leap of faith, and a will to get up, and He will always be there.

Just my thought.

One of the first pastors I spoke with after I became a christian called me a "loser."  So thats what I'm refering to.
