"mighty Power"

[Jun]

"Mighty Power" VERSE:

Well, it's a mystifying mystery And it's more than a little bit odd This

mighty power no one ever did see

This mighty power of god

 

Yeah he’s so mighty he’s “the” almighty

And you’d better quake with fright

And if he kills your kids and cripples you

You’d better just stay polite

 

Because even though he’s quite almighty

He’s mighty insecure

And he wants you to say nice things about him

And get down on the floor

 

And do we really need such animalistic

Gestures of submission anymore?

 

CHORUS:

I don’t see no mighty power

I don’t see nothin’ at all

Y’say I gotta believe the unbelievable

Or I’m headed for a fall

But I’ve always heard about god from people

And people have always lied

And if god’s got all of this mighty power

Why then does he hide?

 

And why has he been hiding all of this time?

 

VERSE:

So mighty and high he can justify

Whatever you decide to do

Because he’s all-wise and he’s all knowin’

And he totally agrees with you

 

The Conquistadors were so outmanned

That it looked like suicide

But they knew they’d win with god and guns

And horses on their side

 

Said, “The Lord helps those who help themselves,

That’s what we’ve always found.”

So they helped themselves to everything

That wasn’t nailed down

 

And the Lord stepped up with a pestilence

Put most of those pesky savages in the ground

 

REPEAT CHORUS

 

VERSE:

And he’s self-created and he’s self-sufficient

And there’s nothing he could possibly need

But to quench his mighty powerful thirst

Every living thing has got to bleed

 

And he wants you to loan him all your money

And your heart and your hands and your head

But he’ll pay you back with interest

Just as soon as you’re dead

 

And whether his power is used to do great good

Or terrible ill

And whether that mighty power is used to heal

Or used to kill

 

There’s one thing nobody likes to mention

Though everybody understands

That power is always exercised

By grubby little human hands

 

Dirty little, grubby little, greedy little,

Bloody little, busy little human hands.

 

REPEAT CHORUS
