Lyrics

My grandmother gave out to me one day

She said ‘boy you’ve lost your faith’

I said I just don’t subscribe in the same way,

I live in hope

The chapel of McQuaid is burning,

Like a flame to the deserting,

Aposticising eyes look behind and they see what they want,

And what they want is peace.

Singing oh my God, and oh my soul,

Oh my God, and oh my soul,

Oh my God, and oh my soul,

Gone, thank God is the faith of old.

I believe in the power of people,

Not in the heights of an evil steeple,

Bells knelling to the tears of mothers alone,

Hoist a green flag for a child unborn.

We’re feeding the covenants dream,

Giving soul to the wasteland,

Searching for some reason to give my regards to treason

Out in the ocean in the thick of it,

I am pure love,

The force of faith in all things,

That are good in the world.

Singing oh my God, and oh my soul,

Oh my God, and oh my soul,

Oh my God, and oh my soul,

Gone, thank God is the faith of old.

Gone, thank God is the faith of old.
