United Brethren

[Verse 1]
My people always been United Brethren
Cessnas always does as told
My great-grandfather was, my people always was
United Brethren of old
My great-grandfather, he built the steeple
For all the people to see
And all the people with faith in Colorado
United Brethren will be

[Chorus]
And they sang "Lord, have mercy upon us
Jesus, have mercy on me
Jesus, have mercy on our congregation
United Brethren we'll be"

[Verse 2]
My people never was United Methodist
Sugar beets we always grow
But when it didn't rain no more, my people forsake the Lord
To Methodist is where they go
My great-grandfather watched all his people go
He stood inside his church alone
The Lord's mysterious ways - it rained for forty days
My God, them sugar beets have grown

[Chorus]
And he sang "Lord, have mercy upon us
Jesus, have mercy on me
Jesus, have mercy on my congregation
United Brethren, just me"
And he sang "Lord, have mercy upon us
Jesus, have mercy on me"
He sang "Jesus, have mercy on my congregation"
United Brethren we'll be (Just me!)
And he sang "Lord, have mercy upon us"
Yeah, "Jesus, have mercy on me"
Yeah, "Jesus, have mercy on my congregation"
United Brethren we'll be (Just me!)
Lord, have mercy upon us
Jesus, have mercy on me
Jesus, have mercy on our congregation
United Brethren we'll be
