The church went down and it didn't go gently   The burning steeple fell right onto Main Street   The old stained glass exploded   Pieces of Jesus at my feet   Molten broken Jesus at my feet      What kind of God would let this be?   What kind of Spirit or Trinity   What kind of God? What kind of friend?   Did God let Jesus die again?   God let Jesus die again      In the name of faith and religion   How much trouble must we witness?   All the wars, hate and sickness   Can't somebody's God fix this?   Can't any body's God fix this?      What kind of God would stand by?   What kind of Spirit or Lord on high   What kind of God? What kind of friend?   Did God let Jesus die again?   God let Jesus die again      And it makes you wonder   Why bother to conceive of anything greater   Than, just what you can see   When all that you can see is      The church went down and it didn't go gently   The beloved steeple burned upon the tar   And so goes faith falling   Breaking me open in my heart   Breaking me open in my heart      What kind of God would let this go?   What kind of Spirit or Holy Ghost   What kind of God?   What kind of friend?      Maybe, God let Jesus die   'Cause we wouldn't get it otherwise   In canyons and in purple skies   That's how you get to the big reprise      Not like He's some guy   Sitting up there thinking this is why   But, maybe everything let's everything die   To make us all the more alive   To love one another and be really present      Right here, right now   Maybe, God lets me and you   Moses and Mohammad too   Maybe, God let Jesus die again and again
