You Gotta Know
Spelled in the clouds of thundering rain
Only cry out out in pure joy or shame
Incognito heavenly being
Is there something there I’m not seeing
Father forgive me, OMG
I didn’t see your Deity Emoji
Hey, hey God I gotta see an ID
Screamin’ down the tracks across the great wide plains
Soundin’ louder than the Peace Train
Verily, verily, I say unto you brother
It’s going in one ear and out the other
Scrawled on walls of ghetto bricks
Rage boils slow, paint drys quick
On palettes of pain
You gotta know
You gotta know
You gotta know God’s name
Before you take it in vain
Sketched in the sand along Crystal Beach
Before the tempest and her tide can reach
Behind your eyes, burn it in your brain
Three in one, one in the same
Dream out loud, midnight cracks
The Shroud of Turin’s face shouts back
Then bursts out in flames
You gotta know
You gotta know
You gotta know God’s name
Before you take it in vain
On a wall above the pulpit in a golden frame
Ancient of Days, Elohim
I Am, I Am, again and again…
Can I hear an Amen ?
