lyrics

(Words/music by P.Mark)

All earthly prayers will be answered
In the order they're received
The devil's waiting room’s no different
He's just got better magazines

The lord will sanctify your queries
Take a number, get in line
There'll be power, there'll be glory
When god finds the time

Behold… His mighty hand changing channels
Clicking right through your vale of tears
Famine, floods and corruption
The universe is so last year

Spare us your woes, he's an idea man
Not so great on follow through
He'll see you when he sees you
When god finds the time

Save the date for your salvation
The lord stands tall for those who stand alone
I hear he's flying in next week for the Derby
But then he's back to his silent throne

Don't blame me, you put him up there
Beyond all reason and rhyme
A million mysteries makes you wonder
When god find's the time

Just drop your head shot at the front desk
If something comes up we'll call
We gotcha penciled in for Sunday
But I wouldn't book the hall

Between appointments he'll move mountains
Change Perrier into wine
Expect the worst - you'll be rewarded
When god find's the time
Expect the worst - you'll be rewarded
When god find's the time
