Modern Hymns

Murderer

One more thing before I go
One more thing I ask you, Lord
You may need a murderer
Someone to do your dirty work

Don't act so innocent
I've seen you pound your fist into the earth
And I've read your book
It seems that you could use another fool

Well, I'm cruel and I look right through
You must have more important things to do
So if you need a murderer
Someone to do your dirty work

Low/Mimi Parker, Alan Sparhawk, and Matt Livingston



I'll Be Glad

I'll go anywhere that you do
And if you don't go before
Lord, I don't want to go without you anymore

Meet me in a pillar of fire
Shade me with a big white cloud
Lord, wherever you go, you'll always have me around

You will give my body rest
And never let me thirst
So I'm not going anyway if you don't go there first

And when I see you beckoning me
That's how I'll know
Lord, following your lead is the only way I'll go

When you get your flock together
Please take me along
Lord, I'm too weak to travel
I'll be glad you're strong

And I'll lean on your arm.

Shannon Stephens, Will Oldham
