Children of the Lord

[Verse]
I found a list here
In my pocket today
It lists bad doin's
Deeds and crimes with applicable names
It's throughout history
It's a census, in a way
It lists your name
And her name
And his name
And all names
And ways that we all must pay

[Chorus]
We gotta rise and shine
And give God the glory-glory (x6)
Children of the Lord

[Verse]
There's Captain Henry
From his doin's during the war
There's Chivington
His deeds with three ball burst
There's James McCready
His crime he fought too hard for the Lord
There's Increase Mather, John Edwards, George Whitefield, and of course
It lists James Davenport

[Chorus]
We gotta rise and shine
And give God the glory-glory (x6)
Children of the Lord

[Bridge]
Give God the glory-glory (x14)
Long on damnation and short on salvation (x3)
We're long on damnation and short

[Verse]
There's the first sailor
And there's all of his crew
You are all listed
It makes you sad, but it's true
And it's surprising
Slim and Munly are there too
It lists Shane Trost, and Ordy
Rumley and Dwight
So, folks, here's what we gotta do

[Chorus]
We gotta rise and shine
And give God the glory-glory (x6)
Children of the Lord
