God Moves On The Water Lyrics - Complete Recordings Of Blind Willie Johnson - Blind Willie Johnson

Ah, Lord, ah, Lord 

Year of nineteen hundred and twelve, April the fourteenth day 

Great Titanic struck an iceberg, people had to run and pray 

God moves, moves, God moves, ah, and the people had to run and pray 

The guards who had been a-watching, asleep 'cause they were tired 

When they heard the great excitement, then a gunshot was fired 

God moves, moves, God moves, ah, and the people had to run and pray 

Captain Smith gave orders, women and children first 

Many of the lifeboats piled right up, many were liable to crush 

God moves on, God moves, God moves, ah, and the people had to run and pray

So many had to leave their happy home, all that they possess 

Lord Jesus, will you hear us now, help us in our distress 

God moves, God moves, God moves, ah, people had to run and pray 

Women had to leave their loving ones, see 'bout their safety 

When they heard the liner was doomed, hearts did almost break 

God moves, God moves, God moves, ah, and the people had to run and pray 

A.G. Smith, mighty man, built a boat that he couldn't understand 

Named it a name of God in a tin, without a "c", Lord, he pulled it in 

God moves, ah, God moves, God moves, ah, and the people had to run and pray 

Well Ah, ah, Lord
