God is Always Watching

James Vincient Johnson 1952 (Algoma WV)

God is Always Watching

I have been watching my people
They are intolerable in their actions
No matter what I say from my steeple
People do not think there are reactions
Of listening to Satan’s call
To destroy my people and my ball
My earthly ball I made round
So my people could think and be sound
Reason with me
And I will let you see
Can a man and another man make a baby
Can a woman and another woman make a baby
I have seen the bold and wise
Shown through a mighty disguise
I have given you all a brain
And allow you comfort on my ball and chain
Fix Satan’s gay mess
I am but one God not to test
