Gods
I FAST and pray and go to church,And put my penny in,But God’s not fooled by such slight tricks,And I’m not saved from sin.I cannot hide from Him the godsThat revel in my heart,Nor can I find an easy wordTo tell them to depart:God’s alabaster turrets gleamToo high for me to win,Unless He turns His face and letsMe bring my own gods in.

I FAST and pray and go to church,
I FAST and pray and go to church,
And put my penny in,
But God’s not fooled by such slight tricks,
And I’m not saved from sin.
I cannot hide from Him the godsThat revel in my heart,Nor can I find an easy wordTo tell them to depart:
I cannot hide from Him the gods
That revel in my heart,
Nor can I find an easy word
To tell them to depart:
God’s alabaster turrets gleamToo high for me to win,Unless He turns His face and letsMe bring my own gods in.
God’s alabaster turrets gleam
Too high for me to win,
Unless He turns His face and lets
Me bring my own gods in.
