Mormon Song
Play MP3
The man said he would pray for us
He’d do it every day for us
The Lord will deliver your soul
And though I’m very glad
For his concern I think it’s sad
That he missed a great Man United goal
For the television showed
A game where talent overflowed
Here were men giving all of their best
A shot hit the post
And he said the Holy Ghost
Is the answer to all this unrest
He said ‘The garden of life
Is littered with strife
The weeds have overgrown’
I said ‘Show me as a friend
What makes you feel you can depend
On making it on your own’
He showed us books
With pictures of men with holy looks
And he read a few verses from St John
He asked us some questions
We made our suggestions
And he said ‘But I’m right, and you’re wrong’
He said his church was fine
For it was built with Christ in mind,
Exactly the format Jesus used
And when he’d finished spelling
Out the product he was selling
Said ‘I hope I’ve not got you confused’
‘For Garvin, two and two make four
Hey Eithne, what you lookin for
Victor, please read what it says’
Well, Victor wouldn’t read it
And Eithne didn’t need it
So the man said a prayer of praise
Instrumental
‘Well friends’ he said ‘I’m sorry
To leave you in a hurry –
Don’t let me spoil your match!’
By now of course, we’d missed it
So he told us he was listed
In the back of the Holy Despatch
He said ‘The garden of life
Is littered with strife
The weeds have overgrown’
I said ‘Show me as a friend
What makes you feel you can depend
On making it on your own’
Well maybe he was right
Were we to blame to blur his sight
Is the answer wherever he goes?
I told him I would pray for him
I might pray every day for him
It may work out someday, God knows
The man said he would pray for us
He’d do it every day for us
The Lord will deliver your soul
And though I’m very glad
For his concern I think it’s sad
That he missed a great Man United goal
