Randy Newman - How Great Our Lord Lyrics
[Angels:] He isn't in the garden
Nor on the golden stair
We searched beside the campground
But we couldn't find him there
For he listens to every prayer
Almost every prayer
Almost, almost
When He's gone, we miss him
We miss our Lord
[The Lord enters.]
Whoa Lord
[Lord:] Sorry ladies, to make you wait
There's a couple of Buddhists at the Pearly Gate
They asked permission to come on board
[A:] What'd you do Lord?
[L:] I had 'em put out with the trash
Sing it!
[A:] Whoa Lord!
How great our Lord
Whoa Lord!
How great!
H ow great our Lord
[L:] Ladies. Ladies!
Why does the earth, glide by below
Like a great big rubber ball?
[Angel:] We don't know Lord
[L:] Why does the bird, fly through the sky
Why does the apple fall?
[Angels:] We don't know.
[L:] Folks up here, they ask me why
Things go so badly down below
I tell them when they ask me why
I really do not know
[Angel:] But you do know, don't you Lord?
[L:] 'Course I do! Sing it!
[Angels:] Whoa Lord!
H ow great our Lord.
[L:] Sing it ladies!
[A:] Oh Lord!
How great!
So great
So great
Whoa Lord!
How great our Lord
Whoa Lord!
How great our Lord

Randy Newman How Great Our Lord Comments
I didn't know GOD had a villain song.
Chuck’s song
This always makes me laugh...love it.
Yes Darlin’- same toys, different Story.
I actually think Randy Newmans Faust is much better than Goethe's Faust: not because it is classically great or well-written, but because it is actually quite concerned with the human lot in life.
Wait a minute. Is this the same Randy Newman that did the soundtrack for Toy Story?
+dementedvillian The one and only
+dementedvillian Well, this album is like a cast recording. He doesn't do vocals on this particular song, but he wrote them all and performs vocals as the Devil.
Rapture!
Thank you so much love this song, totaly awsome
One of Randy Newman´s best works ever! And one underrated too. Only James Taylor could play the God´s role so powerfully in that so particular (and beautiful) way of singing. A lovely chorus all over the song. As James (God himself) says: "Heavenly".
Thanks a lot for sharing this beautiful, beautiful song.
