Whoever hung those stars up there Whatever chose their place Is playing out a symphony With such amazing grace The virgins and the prostitutes Accountants, rakes and fools God must be an Artist If God is what made you The church bells ring upon the hour They're tolling out my doom I joined up with the party that First claimed to leave me room But parties are dividing us For the benefit of few God is a comedian And the joke is neither funny Nor ending soon Sometimes when I'm alone at night I caress my own hands And picture all the places Where I want your kiss to land I came as a disciple To be a captain in your coup God must be a farmer Who ate The things He grew They're putting out the fire, now While the vessel's still aflame You say you like your parents But you still hold them to blame Your sister in the convent Your hope hung on the wire If God forbade your vision Then go, my child, and prove God a liar! A lack of motivation Stirs often in your head Frustrated by the prospect That your passions might be dead Well, I have known you better Than you have thought before God may give you little But only so You can ask for more I try to sing the Master Song When my voice is feeling sweet But you see through my postures To where I'm incomplete Amongst this useless artifice There's a kernel of the truth That God is kind to Lovers So let us do What Lovers do Thank God I lost my mind While staring at the stars There are so many of them And they're spread so far apart I held you on a sunbeam You held me in the dew God must be an artist If God is what made you I must owe God a favor If God is what made you
