Child Of God

My grandpa was a fisherman
Just like my dad and me
My brother was a fisher of men
On the Sea of Galilee
My daddy was an honest man
He never owned a gun
My brother came from Nazareth
Outside Jerusalem
My daddy was a factory man
Up in Ohio
My brother's dad was a carpenter
Two thousand years ago
My grandpa was a holy man
He read the Good Book through
My daddy was a gentleman
My brother was a Jew
My grandpa was a fisherman
Just like my dad and me
My brother was a fisher of men
On the Sea of Galilee
My grandpa was a holy man
He read the Good Book through
My daddy was a gentleman
My brother was a Jew
Daddy's gonna see again
Daddy's gonna see
Daddy's light will shine above
The Sea of Galilee
Hallelujah, Jesus saved his soul
And set him free
Daddy'd been blind all his life
Now daddy's gonna see
And the circle won't be broken
By and by, Lord, by and by
Daddy's gonna hear again
Daddy's gonna hear
The boat's out in the harbor
And the words of Moses clear
Hallelujah, Jesus opened up
My daddy's ear
Daddy'd been deaf all his life
Now daddy's gonna hear
Daddy's born again
Sweet Jesus, daddy's born again
I spread daddy's ashes
On the ocean in the wind
Hallelujah, Jesus forgave all
My daddy's sin
Daddy'd been dead all his life
Now daddy's born again
Now the circle won't be broken
By and by, Lord, by and by
Just as long as my daddy is waiting
Waiting for me in the sky
