Sordid Lives
(Margot Rose /Beverly Nero)
Now, who’s to judge who’s a saint and who’s a sinner?
Lord it’s tough enough to trudge from brunch to dinner.
We seek the light of truth between our white lies.
And sleep away our youth under tattle-tale skies.
Now, who’s to say who’s a sinner and who’s a saint?
Who’s to say who you can love and who you can’t?
Now, it’s easy for the pot to call the kettle black
When jealous of the hot ‘n lusty sordid lives they lack.
Ain’t it a bitch sortin’ out our sordid lives?
It’s a bitch when you come to realize,
Crack yerself a box of Cracker Jack
You could get a really shitty prize!
It’s a bitch sortin’ out our sordid lives.
We struggle comin’ down the chute to take our first breath.
Then we struggle for acceptance from birth to death.
But the Lord’s too busy tryin’ to keep the world on it’s feet.
He ain’t got time to give a damn ‘bout what goes on between the sheets.
Ain’t it a bitch sortin’ out our sordid lives?
It’s a bitch when you come to realize,
Crack yerself a box of Cracker Jack
You could get a really shitty prize!
It’s a bitch sortin’ out our sordid lives!
Will The Circle Be Unbroken
(A.P. Carter)
I was standing by my window
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rolling
For to carry my sister away
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There’s a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
I will follow close behind her
Try to hold on and be brave
But I can not hide my sorrow
When they lay her in her grave
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There’s a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
Coming Home
(William J. Kirkpatrick)
I’ve wandered far away from God
Now I’m coming home
The paths of sin too long I’ve trod
Lord, I’m coming home
I’ve wasted many precious years
Now I’m coming home
I repent with bitter tears
Lord, I’m coming home
Coming home
Yeah, I’m coming home
Nevermore to roam
Open wide Thine arms of love
Lord, I’m coming home
Coming home
Yeah, I’m coming home
Nevermore to roam
Open wide Thine arms of love
Lord, I’m coming home
Coming home
Yeah, I’m coming home
Nevermore to roam
Open wide Thine arms of love
Lord, I’m coming home.
Just As I Am
(Charlotte Elliott /William B. Bradbury)
Just as I am, without one plea
But that Thy blood was shed for me
And that Thou bidst me to come to Thee
O Lamb of God
I come, I come
Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt
Fightings within and fears without
O Lamb of God
I come, I come
Sordid Lives (reprise)
(Margot Rose /Beverly Nero)
When the Lord dips us in the gene pool,
We get more than Granny’s green eyes.
We get our Mama’s warmth,
Our Daddy’s cool,
And that thang between our thighs.
And that’s the start of all these troubles
In our sordid lives.Ain’t it a bitch sortin’ out our sordid lives?
It’s a bitch when you come to realize,
Crack yerself a box of Cracker Jack
You could get a really shitty prize!
It’s a bitch sortin’ out our sorry little sordid lives!
