In this week’s episode of “Morning Mika,” host Mika Brzezinski spotlights the latest song from “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough – and how Joe’s roots playing music in Southern churches influenced his writing and directing today. Brzezinski said Scarborough wrote “No Guarantees” as “both a warning and song of hope” for what’s at stake in this year’s presidential election.
NO GUARANTEES (lyrics)
I sit here broken by God‘s awful grace
I fight the war He’s won but
Still love blood’s bitter taste
Oh, what a wretched waste.
I slept while mercy drew its final breath
I cursed its passing then
I washed my hands of its death
Too tired to be bereft
Help me Jesus I am broken and still
With eyes fixed on failures
And not raised to the hills
Help me Jesus to see what I can’t see
Cause I, Lord, I know that
Oh, I know that
Lord, there’s no guarantees
Old friends bow down before their idol’s glare
With hearts too numb to feel the chill
from Satan’s harsh stare
Lord why aren’t they beware?
While shadows lengthen and the curtain falls
I keep on running to
the deadbeat of vanity’s call
Lord, what a worthless draw
Help us Jesus to hear what we can’t hear
With our eyes fixed on power and
Our hearts gripped with fear
Help me Jesus to see what I can’t see
Because Lord I know that there’s
Oh I know there’s no
Lord I know that there’s
Oh I know there’s no
Lord I know there’s no
Oh I know there’s no
Lord there’s no guarantees
Help me, Lord Jesus
Hear my prayers.
Help me, Lord Jesus
I know that you’re there
