No Matter You Be Divine Part One

NO MATTER YOU BE DIVINE (Part One) By Roy Merritt He was busy gettin’ dyin’ from the day he was born Til the day they laid him in the grave And he was always in a great big hurry Cos’ he knew he could never be saved And so in times of pain and sorrow When the pressure was to much to bear He’d be feelin’ lower than a snake’s belly And ah pullin’ out his hair So come down off that cross sweet Jesus You’re wastin’ precious time You’re stupid for bein’ there in the first place No matter you be divine It was times like that he’d start into to drinkin’ Suckin’ it from sun to sun He’d get all riled up and mad at others And soon ah reachin’ for his gun Gosh darn it god he’d shout out loud What’s the reason I’m in this place Ah dwellin’ from pillar to post And ah livin’ in total disgrace So come down off that cross sweet Jesus You’re wastin’ precious time You’re stupid for bein’ there in the first place No matter you be divine Good grief boy do you think you’re special God would come in retort I likes ah messin’ with you dumb yokels And I do it simply for sport Where’d you get the stupid idea That I ever gave ah damn Humanity is my plaything To keep you wonderin’ who I am So come down off that cross sweet Jesus You’re wastin’ precious time You’re stupid for bein’ there in the first place No matter you be divine

Thank you I often wonder how religious people cope with the often dreadful vagaries of life when it seems no matter their piety they are given to suffer so much!
