God Moves On The Water

Ah, Lord, ah, Lord
Year of nineteen hundred and twelve, April the
fourteenth day
Great Titanic struck an iceberg, people had to run and
pray
God moves, moves, God moves, ah, and the people had to
run and pray
The guards who had been a-watching, asleep 'cause they
were tired
When they heard the great excitement, then a gunshot
was fired
God moves, moves, God moves, ah, and the people had to
run and pray
Captain Smith gave orders, women and children first
Many of the lifeboats piled right up, many were liable
to crush
God moves on, God moves, God moves, ah, and the people
had to run and pray
Ahh-ah
So many had to leave their happy home, all that they
possess
Lord Jesus, will you hear us now, help us in our
distress
God moves, God moves, God moves, ah, people had to run
and pray
Women had to leave their loving ones, see 'bout their
safety
When they heard the liner was doomed, hearts did almost
break
God moves, God moves, God moves, ah, and the people had
to run and pray
A.G. Smith, mighty man, built a boat that he couldn't
understand
Named it a name of God in a tin, without a "c", Lord,
he pulled it in
God moves, ah, God moves, God moves, ah, and the people
had to run and pray
