Upon the Back of God Lyrics

In the dark all alone my words become a drone

Of woeful, never ending naive wails

On the road to my folly engrossed in melancholy

My joyous days have long since set sail

In my life I've known remorse

And shed some tears of course

And whispered "If I could only hold your hand."

And though the years may bring defeat

I've never known something so sweet

As to rest my head upon the back of God

All pent up with my sin I feel a foolish grin

Creep softly across my once stubborn brow

Though bewitched by my fault pity finds its halt

For there's nothing I can do to break His vow

In my life I've known remorse

And shed some tears of course

And whispered "If I could only hold your hand."

And though the years may bring defeat

I've never known something so sweet

As to rest my head upon the back of God

And I've thought where do I belong?

Why not find gladness in solitude?

Why not find joy in the dark?

Winter comes no matter how you act

And though you feel these friends may disappear

The constance that I find

In this solitude is only mine

So I will fight against these fears

I will fight against these lies

I will abandoned the solitude (In my life I've known remorse)

I will let go of the dark (And shed some tears of course

And whispered "If I could only hold your hand.")

I will take this splintered cup with me

And through each trailed day (And though the years may bring defeat)

Find the life in a lump of clay (I've never known something so sweet)

And will (as to)

Rest my head upon the back of God

I will rest my head upon the back of God

I will rest my head upon the back of God
