God’s Jig

Parade the ox and start the flood
Watch the children learn the jig
Watch the children learn the dance
Just as culture taught them to
Just as family taught them to

Praise the statue on the mound
Feel the tide begin to swell
Hear the ancient tales they tell
While the women walk behind
Just as culture taught them to

Life behind the holy wars
Miles behind the killing hordes
Serve until the land is ours
Time is short, the land is ours
Culture crash along the gulf

Watch your children learn God's jig
Watch your children learn God's jig

Feed the congregation well
Lead a young one down the aisle
See them stand and cry and smile
As the oil flows from the vial
Just as culture taught them to
Lead the young one down the aisle
Just as culture taught them to
