You could offer me patience or violence
You could offer me blood or peace
In a letter let me know when it’s over
Just keep it away from me, away from me
You could end him, you could let him go
He’s just a criminal, I don’t know
You could hang him, you could set him free
As long as he don’t sit next to me, next to me.
God is gracious, god is good, he’ll understand
God is gracious, god is good, it’s in his hands
God is gracious, god is good, this god of mine
And if your god met my god
we’d be alright, we’d be just fine
You could swing from an arrow or olive branch
You could hang from the status quo
You could offer me a heart for bravery
As long as I don’t need to go,
I don’t want to go, I don’t need to know
God is gracious, god is good, he’ll understand
God is gracious, god is good, it’s in his hands
God is gracious, god is good, this god of mine
And if your god met my god
we’d be alright, and alright, alright, we’d be alright
God is gracious, god is good, he’ll understand
God is gracious, god is good, it’s in his hands
God is gracious, god is good, he’ll understand
And if your god met my god we’d be all right
