derek webb - god in drag lyrics

Loading...

you’ve heard it said
oh, god spoke words if you can read ‘em
with his very breath he breathed ‘em
and only righteous men received ‘em
till all at once he just stopped speaking
divine decree on every page
without error or mistake
slavery, murder, incest, rape
for everything a time and place
don’t trust yourself, just turn the page
you know it takes the eyes of faith
to really know what’s what
you’ve heard it said
oh, god so loves but he’ll reject you
if you so choose he will respect you
and for all time, he’ll disconnect you
from his love and those who’ve left you
and in the skies live on without you
while the devil’s flames surround you
in the place that he designed to
for eternity remind you
of the choice that’s now behind you
either way, i bet you’ll break a sweat

you’ve heard it said
oh, by the time you’re born oh, it’s too late
you don’t even get a say
there’s free will but not today
‘cause great granddad has sealed your fate
when he believed a talkin’ snake
who deceived his perfect mate
he just took the fruit and ate
and one bad apple’s all it takes
when all humanity’s at stake
even just a little taste
poisons the very root

oh, but i say into you, you’re beautiful & free
and you’ve heard it said
oh, god made eve from adam’s rib
to help him out and raise his kids
so he could rule while she submits
and take the blame for what he did
and that’s the way that god designed it
then the way the state defined it
now the church won’t recognize it
if you should need to reassign it
‘cause you’re just so sick of hiding
somewhere between husbands, wives
zeros & ones

you’ve heard it said
god gave up his only son
to suffer and die for what you’ve done
like lambs for a millennium
oh, he hates the bullet but loves the gun
and violence is the holy way
if you don’t call out his only name
whether sinner or a saint
you’ll be held just outside the gate
so, love your neighbor everyday
but use the wrong words when you pray
and you’ll be without excuse
oh, but i say unto you, you’re beautiful & free

such a lovely melody
if you’re really listening
you can hear me singing
all wrapped up in righteousness rags
baby, you’re like god in drag
dressed up like the real thing
