lyrics

Our God is good is what you said
as you dragged me to Kirk
He’s with you in your daily play
and in my life and work
If God’s sae good, why did he tak’
the very stuff you are
and leave you like the guttering flame
on a candle in a jar?

For forty years you lived as one
you pair gave life to me
You brought me up to worship Him
the point I couldnae see
My Feyther’s house you tramped around
in row ‘pon row ‘pon row
Not knowing why you poured the tea
and my cup overflowed

You gave your time, you gave your soul
You gave your energy
You gave belief in that good God
and a wider family
But did they care? Ach, did they hell
Your true friends could be seen
And as the mist swirled through your mind
good God became a dream

The small domestic tragedies,
tsunamis, famines, war
It’s said they’re sent to test our faith
My faith’s been tested sore
Why should a feyther treat his weans
as if he didnae care?
A loving god would stop the pain,
I think he isnae there
He’s vanished in thin air
Or he doesnae really care.
