No one laughs at God in a hospital
|
|
No one laughs at God in a war
|
|
No one's laughing at God
|
|
When they're starving or freezing or so very poor
|
|
No one laughs at God when the doctor calls
|
|
After some routine tests
|
|
No one's laughing at God
|
|
When it's gotten real late
|
|
And their kid's not back from that party yet
|
|
No one laughs at God when their airplane
|
|
Starts to uncontrollably shake
|
|
No one's laughing at God
|
|
When they see the one they love hand in hand
|
|
With someone else and they hope that they're mistaken
|
|
No one laughs at God when the cops knock on their door
|
|
And they say "We've got some bad new, sir,"
|
|
No one's laughing at God
|
|
When there's a famine, fire or flood
|
|
But God can be funny
|
|
At a cocktail party while listening to a good God-themed joke or
|
|
When the crazies say he hates us
|
|
And they get so red in the head
|
|
You think that they're about to choke
|
|
God can be funny
|
|
When told he'll give you money if you just pray the right way
|
|
And when presented like a genie
|
|
Who does magic like Houdini
|
|
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
|
|
God can be so hilarious
|
|
Ha ha, ha ha
|
|
No one laughs at God in a hospital
|
|
No one laughs at God in a war
|
|
No one's laughing at God
|
|
When they've lost all they got
|
|
And they don't know what for
|
|
No one laughs at God on the day they realize
|
|
That the last sight they'll ever see is a pair of hateful eyes
|
|
No one's laughing at God
|
|
When they're saying their goodbyes
|
|
God can be funny
|
|
At a cocktail party while listening to a good God-themed joke or
|
|
When the crazies say he hates us and they get so red in the head
|
|
You think that they're about to choke
|
|
God can be funny
|
|
When told he'll give you money if you just pray the right way
|
|
And when presented like a genie
|
|
Who does magic like Houdini
|
|
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
|
|
God can be so hilarious
|
|
No one laughs at God in a hospital
|
|
No one laughs at God in a war
|
|
No one laughs at God in a hospital
|
|
No one laughs at God in a war
|
|
No one laughing at God in a hospital
|
|
No one's laughing at God in a war
|
|
No one's laughing at God
|
|
When they're starving or freezing or so very poor
|
|
No one's laughing at God
|
|
No one's laughing at God
|
|
No one's laughing at God
|
|
We're all laughing with God
|
