| 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 |
