The Word

I was born in Utah
Not in a state of Sin
but preachers were insistent
Sin was the State I'm in

I lay down exhausted
From hearing what they said
And I thank God Almighty
They can rest assured I'm dead

I know that they will follow me
(After a little more sin)
But Jesus has informed me
Saint Peter won't let them in

Up here the wind is silent
As is the Prince of Peace
And now at last I hear "The Word"
May wonders never cease!
