God of the Forsaken

(Song Lyrics)

You are God of quarks and photons

Of the universe and more

You are God of health and sickness

Of the virgin and the whore

Of capitalist and communist

The union man and scab

You are God of Mohammed

Of the Buddha and the Bab

Of Jesus and of Moses

Great Spirit above all

God of our redemption

Of Eden of the fall

You are God of limitations

And without boundary

God of the neutrino

And of infinity

(Chorus)

You are God of the Forsaken

Of the broken and the torn

Of the burned and the forgotten

Of the dead of the unborn

You are God of choice and God of chance

Of immutability

Of change and transition

Of time and eternity

You are God of stocks and Wall Street

And of Tobacco Road

You are God of care-free life styles

And heavy crushing loads

You are God of crucifixion

Good Friday Easter morn

You are God of resurrection

The rejoicing the forlorn

You are God of plains and mountains

Of the lotus and the mire

Of the deserts and of wetlands

Of the nothing the entire

You are God of human squalor

Of the mansion on the hill

God of all our boredom

And God of every thrill

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

There is nothing that evades You

In the rise and fall

I cannot escape your presence

You are God of all

You are God of celebration

Of the dirge and of the dance

You are God of hearth and cradle

Of the ladle and the lance

Of storms and of tranquility

Of serenity of peace

You are God of war and turmoil

Of the loss and the increase

You are God of mind and matter

The Spirit of the earth

God of convalescence

Of digression and of birth

You are God of jail and prison

God of liberty

You dwell with the enslaved

You live with the free

(Chorus 2x)

(Bridge)

(Tag)

I cannot escape your presence

You are God of  all
