God Bless the Preacher

G
God bless the preacher, god bless the bends
C
God bless the one who has to die in the end
G
God bless you and all the things you might be
C                          D            G
God bless the wind and the deep roaring sea

G
I sent me with the willows across the roaring deep
C
Sent me to where breakers will rock me to my sleep
G
I'll find you someday, though I don't know your face
C                                    D           G
You live amongst the lizards in that dry, holy place

God bless the children they know what they did
God bless you simon and your brand new little kid
God bless the stones and the roots of the trees
God bless the winds and the deep roaring sea

There is a rest that is solemn and long
It someday will be broken by the trumpets loud song
But God willing I won't hear it, but slumbering remain
To keep unbroken silence in that soft summer rain

God bless the ones who have never read the book
God bless the ones who count themselves forsook
And God bless the nothing that follows our unease
God bless the wind and the deep roaring sea

God bless You, god bless Me
God bless the living who have yet to come to be
God bless the millions who dreamless lie in peace
God bless the wind and the deep roaring seas

Song Notes

Our Very First foray into writing religious songs! Not much meaning in this one, except pondering death and the resurrection and whether or not we even WANTED to be part of the church. Simon is a made up person, and for the record we are now on the fence whether or not we'd want to sleep through the resurrection. Might be fun to see that big guy with the seven white orbs and the sword in his mouth!
