God Moves On The Water Lyrics
God Moves On The Water - Blind Willie Johnson
Written by：Blind Willie Johnson/Traditional/W. Johnson
Ah Lord
Ah Lord
Year of nineteen hundred
And twelve April the fourteenth day
Great Titanic
Struck an iceberg
People had to run and pray
God moves
Moves God moves
Ah and the people had
To run and pray
The guards who had been
A watching
Asleep 'cause they
Were tired
When they heard the
Great excitement then a gunshot was fired
God moves
Moves God moves
Ah and the people had
To run and pray
Captain smith gave orders
Women and children first
Many of the lifeboats
Piled right up
Many were liable
To crush
God moves
On God moves
God moves
Ah and the
People had to run and pray
'uh huh'
So many had to leave their
Happy home
All that
They possess
Lord jesus will you
Hear us now help us in
Our distress
God moves God moves God moves
Ah people had to
Run and pray
Women had to leave their
Loving ones
See 'bout their safety
When they heard the
Liner was doomed
Hearts did almost break
God moves
God moves
God moves
Ah and the people
Had to run and pray
A g smith
Mighty man
Built a boat that he
Couldn't understand
Named it a name of
God in a tin
Without A C Lord
He pulled it in
God moves
Ah God moves
God moves
Ah and the
People had to run and pray
Well
Ah
Ah Lord
