David Novak - 40 lyrics

"Submission to the will of God" is good, Yet what the will of God is, none can say, Though many people have it understood, And gladly condescend to show the way. "The Lord wills this", "the Lord wills that," one hears, As if they have a secret channel to His innermost desire - their hopes and fears As congruous with what He'd have them do. "When Christians came, and brought the Bible, we Possessed the land; but now we have the Bible, They, the land" - wherefore servility Is preached, and blasphemy a form of libel. So Creeds have ever confiscated booty, And yoked the dispossessed to heaven's duty.
