The Big Reprise

The church went down and it didn't go gently

The burning steeple fell right onto Main Street

The old stained glass exploded

Pieces of Jesus at my feet

Molten broken Jesus at my feet

What kind of God would let this be?

What kind of Spirit or Trinity

What kind of God? What kind of friend?

Did God let Jesus die again?

God let Jesus die again

In the name of faith and religion

How much trouble must we witness?

All the wars, hate and sickness

Can't somebody's God fix this?

Can't any body's God fix this?

What kind of God would stand by?

What kind of Spirit or Lord on high

What kind of God? What kind of friend?

Did God let Jesus die again?

God let Jesus die again

And it makes you wonder

Why bother to conceive of anything greater

Than, just what you can see

When all that you can see is

The church went down and it didn't go gently

The beloved steeple burned upon the tar

And so goes faith falling

Breaking me open in my heart

Breaking me open in my heart

What kind of God would let this go?

What kind of Spirit or Holy Ghost

What kind of God?

What kind of friend?

Maybe, God let Jesus die

'Cause we wouldn't get it otherwise

In canyons and in purple skies

That's how you get to the big reprise

Not like He's some guy

Sitting up there thinking this is why

But, maybe everything let's everything die

To make us all the more alive

To love one another and be really present

Right here, right now

Maybe, God lets me and you

Moses and Mohammad too

Maybe, God let Jesus die again and again
