Bret Lott Quotes

I Saw Tory's Face As I Took My Beating. I Saw Myself Pulled Up By Pastor From The Pearl River, Wet And Shaking And Miserable In The Lord, Missy Cook On The Bank And Crying Tears Meant For Nothing But Effect, And I Knew Then I Was No Better Than My Grandmother, Knew No Matter How Hard You Prayed, No Matter How Shiny The Stones In Your Pocket, No Matter How Far Behind You You Thought Your Old Lives Were, They Were Never Gone. They Were Never More Than An Inch From The Surface, Battling Every Moment You Breathed, Each And Every Moment Of Every Day Fighting To Rise Up And Take You Over. And I'd Lost, Let Those Old Lives Win Just Now.
