josh joplin group - lazarus and the gospel plow lyrics

Loading...

[verse]
lazarus was a christian man indeed
but he never stepped foot inside a church
and on the day he died
both his sisters cried
how quickly we fall from grace to earth

well martha, please don’t you weep for me
faith is both a blessing and a curse
if his return is what you seek
then his record’s pretty bleak
how quickly we fall from grace to earth

[chorus]
you ought to know by now, you ought to know by now
keep your hands on the gospel plow
hold on
hold on
hold on
hold on

[verse]
well, manger’s just a fancy word for trough
in a barn where a virgin’s given birth
oh bring the good dishes down
when the magi come to town
how quickly we fall from grace to еarth
well get thee up and get thee out by dawn
grab your gold, your frankincеnse and myrrh
say goodbye to galilee
and h+llo refugee!
how quickly we fall from grace to earth

[chorus]
you ought to know by now, you ought to know by now
keep your hands on the gospel plow
hold on
hold on
hold on
hold on

[verse]
well, lock the nave, there’s money in our walls
we hide it there no matter how absurd
let the needy people know
just where they can go
how quickly we fall from grace to earth

the doctrine of prosperity and fame:
the more you have the more your soul is worth
saint peter’s at the door
to check your credit score
how quickly we fall from grace to earth
[chorus]
you ought to know by now, you ought to know by now
keep your hands on the gospel plow
hold on
hold on
hold on
hold on

[verse]
“florida man eats locusts on front lawn”
with a tiny little loincloth ’round his girth
is it time to stand your ground
and shoot that baptist down?
how quickly we fall from grace to earth

there’re so many true believers who aren’t saved
whose compassion never fails to convert
so, what’s there to debate?
when the love you have is hate
how quickly we fall from grace to earth
