Hope

Lord God I have never spoken to you

but now I want to say how do you do?

You see God they told me you didn't exist

and like a fool I believed all this.

Last night from a shallow I saw your sky

I figured right then they had told me a lie.

Had I taken time to see the things you made

I had known they weren't calling you from spade to spade.

I wonder God if you'll take my hand

somehow I feel that you'll understand.

Funny I had to come to this hellish place

before I had time to see your face.

Well, I guess the're really isn't much more to say

but I'm sure dear God that I met you today.

I guess zero hour will soon be here

but I'm not afraid since I know you're near.

The signal, well God I'll have to go

I like you Lord's I want you to know!

Look now this will be a horrible fight

who knows I may come to your house tonight.

Though I wasn't friendly to you before

I wonder God if you'd wait at your door.

Look I'm crying I'm shading tears

I'll have to go now, God goodbye.

Strange now since I met you

I'm not afraid to die.
