_ [Abm] _ _ _ [F] I'm really glad you're here to hear this.
We've been taking this show around the country and it's been so satisfying to take a gospel record around this nation.

We've had people walk out.

_ _ _ _ _ _ So [F] I bought a Bible to do this songwriting for this project.
And I [N] bought the Catholic Bible because it has extra books, like bonus tracks.
_ You know?
Like the Book of Sirach, Book of Wisdom.
You know what I mean?
More incentive.
More holy words, same price.
[C] _
Lord, send us forth [F] to bring [C] _
compassion to every corner of [G]

_ [C] Thy kingdom _ come to every nation.
Thy will be _ done in everything [G] we do.
_ Lord, lead us [C] not into [F] temptation.
But deliver us [G] from those who think they're you.
[F] And Lord, [C] deliver us_
And it seems to me now that there is something going on in this country that we're more [Eb] welcoming now.
Of a message that goes down the middle.
Of a broader footprint.
And I have not found anyone around the country who [Em] objects to this.
In conservative or liberal parts of the [Ebm] country.
So let me sing this for you.
And then we'll have a little focus group afterwards. _ _
[G] When I closed my eyes so I would not see.
_ _ My Lord did trouble me. _

My Lord did trouble me.
_ When I raised my voice [Eb] too little, too loud.
_ My [Bb] Lord did trouble me.
_ Did [Gm] trouble me.
_ With a word [Ebm] or a sigh.
_ [Bb] _
[Ebm] With the ringing of the bell in the back [Gm] of my mind.
_ Did [Eb] trouble me.
_ [Bb] Did stir [Ebm] my soul.
For to make [Bb] me human to make me whole. _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Db] So any objections to that song?
[N] _ Does anyone have trouble with that?
Does anyone wish there was a more sophisticated theological device?
For the installation of conscience?
Anyone? _ _
It's alright, isn't it?
I have to tell you that song has gone all around the country and it's been fine. With everyone.
I just want to say I think that this country is in better shape than we think.
I think the extreme fringe is the extreme fringe.
I think most people really just want to live decent lives and be alright people.
And be alright by their families and communities.
I'm telling you.
I'm telling you.
