Surely God Is With Us

(álbum: The Jesus Record - 1998)

Well, who's that man? Says He's a prophet
Well, I wonder if He has got something up His sleeve
Where's He from? Who is His daddy?
There's rumors He even thinks Himself a King
Of a kingdom of paupers
Simpletons and rogues
The whores all seem to love Him
And the drunks propose a toast

And they say: "Surely God is with us
Surely God is with us"
They say: "Surely God is with us today!"

Who's that man? Says He's a preacher
Well He must be, He's disturbing all our peace
Where does He get off? What is He hiding?
Well, every word He says those fools believe
Who can move a mountain?
Who could love their enemy?
Who could rejoice in pain?
Turn the other cheek?

And still say: "Surely God is with us
Surely God is with us"
Who'll say: "Surely God is with us today?"

Blessed are the poor in spirit
Heaven belongs to them
Blessed are those who make peace
They are God's children
I Am the Bread of Life, I am the gray"
You hear that Man? Believe what He's sayin'!

Tell me who's that Man? They made Him a prisoner
Tortured Him n' nailed Him to a tree
Was He so bad? Who did He threaten?
Did He deserve to die between two thieves?
See the scars and touch His wounds
His risen flesh and bone
Now, sinners have become the saints
And the lost have all come home

And they say: "Surely God is with us. Surely God is with us"
They say: "Surely God is with us today, today!"

They say: "Surely God is with us
Surely God is with us"
They say: "Surely God is with us today!
Well, just today"
