Eric Taylor - Your God by Eric Taylor lyrics

When the boatmen stole the Africans Did your God ride or row? When they roped them and they shackled them Was he with them in the hold? Was the ocean moon so beautiful That it brought him to his knees? What did your God see? When she prayed out loud in Cherokee Was that your God by the fire? When she swayed up there in the sweet gum tree Was he hanging up there beside her? Did he bless the silver rivers? Did he fix himself a drink? What did your God see? If I sing hallelujah, will he hold my hand? Can we dance among the blessed and the damned? When the glory train is moving onto Beulah Land Can I ride as far as Andilar and come on back to town? Did your God ride the bullet To the old Lorraine Hotel? Is it the blood of the lamb, is it another man down Did he catch him when he fell? Did he calm the waters? Did his heart just freeze? What did your God see? Did your God ride the backroads On a Texas summer night? Did he stand there in the pine grove As they drug him out of sight? Did he stand for the last communion? Did he kneel to wash his feet? What did your God see? If I sing hallelujah, will he hold my hand? Can we dance among the blessed and the damned? When the glory train is moving onto Beulah Land Can I ride as far as Andilar and come on back to town? --- .
