God, God, God
Nina Simone
| Recording sessions |
From the depths of slumber
As I ascend the spiral staircase
Of wakefulness
As I ascend the spiral staircase
Of wakefulness
From the depths of slumber
As I ascend the spiral staircase
Of wakefulness
As I ascend the spiral staircase
Of wakefulness
I whisper God God God
I whisper God God God
Thou art my food
And when I break my fast
Of nightly separation from Thee
I taste Thee
And mentally say God God God
No matter where I go
The spotlight of my mind
Is ever turned on Thee
And in the battle den of all my activity
My silent war cry
Is God God God
When boisterous storms
Of trials shriek
And worries howl at me
I drown their clamour
So much noise dear God
So many people talking dear God
All around me
All about me
All over me
God God God
No matter where I go
Spotlight of my mind
Is ever turned on Thee
In the battle den of my activity
My silent war cry
Is God God God God God
Said no matter where I go
Spotlight of my mind
Is ever turned on Thee
And in the battle den of my activity
My silent war cry
Is ever God God God
When my mind weaves dreams
With threads of memories
When my mind weaves dreams
With threads of memories
On that magic cloth
I do emboss
I said God God God God God God God
God God God God God God
When my mind weaves dreams
With threads of memories
On that magic cloth
I do emboss
God God God God God
And waking eating
Working dreaming
Meditating chanting
Divinely loving someone
My soul constantly hums
Unheard by any
It says
God God God
