There just aren't enough Gospel songs for atheists.
Lyrics
I Wish There Was a God I wish there was a god and he’d come down from above And smite mine enemies and shower me with love Well I wish there was a god and he’d keep me from disease Protect me when I’m foolish but let me do as I please I would pray every day and go to church every week And on holidays I would dress up in style I’d give away all my pay and I’d turn the other cheek And I’d only get loaded once in a while I wish there was a god there wouldn’t be any war No muggings and murders and no one would be poor I wish there was a god, justice would always prevail No one but the guilty would ever be sent to jail I would pray every day and go to church every week And on holidays I would dress up in style I’d give away all my pay and I’d turn the other cheek And I’d only get loaded once in a while Well I wish there was a god to keep my family safe And keep them out of trouble, or at least always let ‘em escape I wish there was a god and I’d say “Thanks to the lord” On stage at the Grammies, or when I won an Academy Award © 2001 Michael King Ross
