With Or Without God (a song for Gretta Vosper)

With or without God (with apologies to U2)

See the stone set in God’s eyes
See the thorn twist in God’s side
I wait for God

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails God makes me wait
And I wait without God

With or without God
With or without God

Through the storm we reach the shore
God gives it all but I want more
And I’m waiting for God

With or without God
With or without God
I can’t live
With or without God

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body bruised, God’s got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

And God gives Godself away
And God gives Godself away
And God gives
And God gives
And God gives Godself away

With or without God
With or without God
I can’t live
With or without God

With or without God
With or without God
I can’t live
With or without God
With or without God
