DEAD MAN’S BLUFF

Lyrics by Peter Merz
Music by Patti Black and Mark E. Ellis

You want me to believe
In this risen Savior of yours
That’s a hard step for me
‘Cause dead men rising sounds absurd
That kind of thing just isn’t done
And you ain’t fooling anyone

CHORUS
A dead man’s bluff
That’s all this is – no, the dead don’t come back to life
A dead man’s bluff
One big fat fib – yeh, just two thousand years of hype
A dead man’s, dead man’s bluff
A dead man’s, dead man’s bluff

Your theory’s all amiss
Defying laws of science
I can’t believe this myth
Made of contrived Sci-Fi-ence
Resurrections just aren’t done
No, you ain’t fooling anyone

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
But what if you’re right
Then where would I stand?
Could this Jesus Christ
Be more than a man?

INSTRUMENTAL

REPEAT CHORUS

TAG
Could this Jesus be more than just a dead man's bluff? 
Could it be true, this Easter Story? 
Could this Jesus be more than just a dead man's bluff? 
Could He be the King of Glory?
