Why God 02:58
lyrics

Why, God Shivered on my lips The sky turned upside down And I drowned in this snow globe town Why, God Why, God Are people in despair Crying it’s not fair Broken people want to know you care Why, God Just a two word prayer Why, God Then He answered me with a question To tell me what He thought When I asked Him Why, Oh Why, God He turned and said, Why not Why not Just a two word dare To my simple prayer Why not let God be God Why not Why not Why not Why not Why not Why not

God-Shaped Box 02:57

Like a genie in the bottle Or a scotch on the rocks I find you when I want to In a God-shaped box I could breathe the air off a mountain top But I can't get you out of my God-shaped box Like a movie marathon In my jeans and socks I keep you where I want you In a God-shaped box I could download the world from my laptop But I can't get you out of my God-shaped box No I can't get you out of my God-shaped box Halleluiah What's it to ya Hit another wall in a God-shaped box Halleluiah What's it to ya Hit another wall in a God-shaped box Oh oh Oh oh Oh oh Oh oh Oh oh Oh oh oh Like a playground game of Paper scissors and rocks I tell you how I love you In a God-shaped box I could turn the key but always stop Cause I can't let you out of my God-shaped box No I can't let you out of my God-shaped box Halleluiah What's it to ya Hit another wall in a God-shaped box Halleluiah What's it to ya Hit another wall in a God-shaped box

Children of a Lesser God Pray 02:17
lyrics

You have the hands of a stone god the air is thin up here You have the breath of a chili dog caught on the lips with cold beer You have the taste of sun block and cauliflower ears You have the face of a juggernaut; a smirk so cavalier There's a high price for your happiness And I'm paying for it today There's a fine line between a trophy mount And the one that got away You with your hands on a fishing rod a cooler won't calm my fears You have the heart of a tackle box; if I had eyes they'd have tears There's a high price for your happiness And I'm paying for it today There's a fine line between a trophy mount And the one that got away If you find it quaint and not so disturbing If you can relate and find it reassuring Children of a lesser god pray But that won't get in your way Children of a lesser god pray But that won't get in your way There's a high price for your happiness And I'm paying for it today There's a fine line between a trophy mount And the one that got away You're the one that got away

We Didn't Know You Are God 03:26
lyrics

When you came to us as a baby, we were at a loss So we gave a man a bright red suit and called him Santa Claus When you said you were a King, we hung you on a cross We made chocolate bunnies and Easter eggs with bright pink polka dots We didn’t know You We didn’t know You We didn’t know You are God When You came to us like a plague, who was there to blame The priests took all our money to pay for our mistakes When the church went to work killing in Your name We gathered all the black sheep and burned them at the stake We didn’t know You We didn’t know You We didn’t know You are God When You come to us again riding on the clouds Every tongue will confess and every knee will bow A wonderment and fever is spreading through the crowds We didn’t know You We didn’t know You We didn’t know You are God Hey what’d You say oh Son of Man Hey what’d You say oh Son of Man Hey what’d You say oh Son of Man Hey what’d You say oh Son of Man

God Still Moves on the Water 03:26
lyrics

Ah, Lord, ah, Lord Today's Tom Sawyer takes off at the mouth Got the waters of life all mapped out Ain't no rain gonna ruin his plan Technology umbrellas the modern man Til an iceberg struck his Titanic soul The guard of his heart fell asleep on patrol A bullet hit a cloud and it started to rain A soaking Tom Sawyer started to pray No his mind is not for rent Still the rain is Heaven sent God still moves on the water God still moves on the water Ah, Lord, ah, Lord Life boats of logic piled up high Plenty of room for all his alibis But when reality struck and the ship went down Most of his theories were dead and drowned No his mind is not for rent Still the rain is Heaven sent God still moves on the water God still moves on the water You can build a mighty ship and send it out to sea But the Maker has a say in how the tides will be So when the rains come down and the floods sweep away How it was then is how it is today God still moves on the water God still moves on the water God still moves on the water God still moves on the water
