Song For Marion
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Dear lord be good to me, the sea is so wide
Dear lord be good to me, my boat is so small
Oh God who lives beyond the place of thunder and rainbows
God who blows the western wind and calms the raging waves
God who shakes the mountains and pours fire on the sea
God who blows the howling wind, take care of me
Show you heart and show your face
Do not let me fall from grace
Dear lord be good to me, the sea is so wide
Dear lord be good to me, my boat is so small
I may not have the clothes of silk, or money of silver
I may not have a home made out of marble or clay
I know I have no armor to protect me from the storm
Oh God whose power burns the sun, please keep me warm
Show you heart and show your face
Do not let me fall from grace
Let me see the radiance of sun upon dark clouds
Let me see the silver dancing stars
Let me see the moon as she dances in your sky
Let me see your face amid the crowds
As the sun can rise at dawn up from the cloudy sea
As the day can break form darkest night
Let me find the rainbows end that follow the thunder
Through my tears against the wind teach me to begin again
Show you heart and show your face
Do not let me fall from grace
Dear lord be good to me, the sea is so wide
Dear lord be good to me, my boat is so small
