Jimmy Little - Surely God Is A Lover lyrics

Surely God was a lover When He bade the day begin Soft as a woman's eyelid Fine as a woman's skin Surely God was a lover All burning with desire When He called the night to come down And set the day on fire Surely God is a lover Surely God is a lover Surely God was a lover When He made the driving rain A woman must have left Him Weeping in a waste of shame Surely God was a lover With the madness love will bring He wrought while His love was singing And put her soul in the spring Surely God was a lover When He made the trees so fair In every leaf a glory Caught from a woman's hair Surely God was a lover You can see it in the flowers He grows His love's eyes in the violet Her sweetness in the rose Surely God was a lover
