Christopher Bell - Thy Will Be Done

Great grandfather, was a preacher
tried to save the souls of man
pounding fists on the pulpit
cracked wood and tired hands
Great grandfather, was a preacher
he always did the best he could
following the sound of his heart
even if he was misunderstood
oh, thy will be done
Mr Silas, had a favor
to ask one day after church
locked the doors and in a whisper
told him about Mr Cook
on the run from his masters
need to hide him from prying eyes
great grandfather, a humble servant
always did the best he could
oh, thy will be done
they came at night with a knock on the door
they came at night with fire and pitchforks
they came at night ready to kill
oh, thy will be done
Great grandfather, was a preacher
he always did the best he could
following the sound of his heart
even if he was misunderstood
