Surely God Is With Us - Rich Mullins

Well who’s that man says he’s a prophet?

Well I wonder if he’s 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 could move a mountain

Who would love their enemy?

Who could rejoice in pain

And 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 way»

You hear that man

Believe what he says

Tell me who’s that man they made him a prisoner

They tortured him and 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 the 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

And they say «Surely God is with us»

«Surely God is with us»

They say «Surely God is with us today»

With us today
