A Song I Heard on the RADio Tonight

as sung by Joan Baez

called

God is God
(written by Steve Earle,)

goes as such:



I believe in prophecy
Some folks see things not everybody can see
And once in a while they pass the secret along to you and me
And I believe in miracles
Something sacred burning in every bush and tree
We can all learn to sing the songs the angels sing

Yes, I believe in God
And God ain't me

I've traveled around the world
Stood on mighty mountains and gazed across the wilderness
Never seen a line in the sand or a diamond in the dust
And as our fate unfurls
Every day that passes I'm sure about a little bit less
Even my money keeps telling me it's God I need to trust

And I believe in God
But God ain't us

God of my little understanding don't care what name I call
Whether or not I believe doesn't matter at all

I receive the blessings
That every day on earth's another chance to get it right
Let this little light of mine shine and rage against the night
Just another lesson
Maybe someone's watching and wondering what I got
Maybe this is why I'm here on earth and maybe not

But I believe in God
And God is God
