God Will Thank You - Lori McKenna

I was born a sickly little child

I nearly died just after my birth

Five years I fought the illness

My mother prayed and prayed for what it’s worth

At that time we traveled along, back home to Ireland

I took sick and the doctors admit

I should have died right there and then by their hands

Mother called it an overdose

They called it an oversight

But since then, I’ve never been sick a day in my life

Call it divine purpose

Call it fate

Watch Mass on channel 56 and that way you’ll never be late

And God will thank you

Well, I’ve seen the heavens open up

I’ve seen the angels fly

I’ve seen children kill and I’ve seen grown men cry

I know all about Noah’s ark

The rain’s been falling all the while

And I heard about Adam and Eve

But I still believe she never got a fair trial

Call it divine purpose

Say it’s untrue

Well, they never brought anything back from Roswell

So who are you going to pray to?

God will thank you

Maybe I only read the Bible

When I’m staying at the Holiday Inn

I see church on Easter and Christmas

But every other Sunday I just can’t fit it in

But I’m coming from a true place

I’m shining like a new light

I’m thanking God for everything I have in my life

Call it divine purpose

Call it fate

Or maybe you believe in God

Because the Big Bang theory don’t hold much weight
