Lyrics
[Refrain]
Godspell, Godspeed
God is good, God is love
Love is the running towards
Godspell, Godspeed
God is good, God is love
Love is the running towards
[Verse 1]
Take your bows and arrows
And shoot them deep into the sky
I'm surprised to see you
It's been such a long time
Your eyes are blue
Full of the sparkle of life
[PreChorus]
Get thee behind me, charlatan
Get thee behind me, sycophant
Get thee behind, false prophet
Woah
[Chorus]
Go away, please
Go away, please
[Refrain]
Godspell, Godspeed
God is good, God is love
Love is the running towards
Godspell, Godspeed
God is good, God is love
Love is the running towards
[Verse 2]
Take your hands off me this instance
It's the last time you'll ever do this
I forbid you to ever come near me
Unless I tell you to do so
[PreChorus]
Get thee behind me, charlatan
Get thee behind me, sycophant
Get thee behind, false prophet
Woah
[Chorus]
Go away, please
Go away, please
Go away please
Go away, go away
[Bridge]
Are you receiving me?
Am I loud and clear?
A protection prayer
For the ones gathered here
Here in this place
I do declare
Get out of my circle
With all your false promises
[PreChorus]
Get thee behind me, charlatan
Get thee behind me, sycophant
Get thee behind, false prophet
Woah
[Chorus]
Go away, please
Go away, please
Go away, please
Go away, go away
