Song for Marion Songtext

von Judy Collins

Dear lord be good to me, the sea is so wide
Dear lord be good to me, my boat is so small

Oh God who lives beyond the place of thunder and rainbows
God who blows the western wind and calms the raging waves
God who shakes the mountains and pours fire on the sea
God who blows the howling wind, take care of me

Show you heart and show your face
Do not let me fall from grace

Dear lord be good to me, the sea is so wide
Dear lord be good to me, my boat is so small

I may not have the clothes of silk, or money of silver
I may not have a home made out of marble or clay
I know I have no armor to protect me from the storm
Oh God whose power burns the sun, please keep me warm

Show you heart and show your face
Do not let me fall from grace

Let me see the radiance of sun upon dark clouds
Let me see the silver dancing stars
Let me see the moon as she dances in your sky
Let me see your face amid the crowds

As the sun can rise at dawn up from the cloudy sea
As the day can break form darkest night
Let me find the rainbows end that follow the thunder
Through my tears against the wind teach me to begin again

Show you heart and show your face
Do not let me fall from grace

Dear lord be good to me, the sea is so wide
Dear lord be good to me, my boat is so small
