lyrics

Great Is Your Reward

A G A G A
Beneath the stars on this summer night yes I’ll take you home and you’ll be my delight
A G A G A
Yes I’ll keep you safe and out of site because there’s something here that isn’t right

A G A G A
O’ Glory arise and shine for the day of execution you shall soon be mine
A G A G A
Spread your willows like the branches on a tree for great is your reward yes you’ll scream for victory

A G A G A
As I stand in the streets on this lonely night when I walked out the door something wasn’t right
A G A
Well you told me that you loved me and if I cared I’d stay
A G A
But I had to play this old guitar and throw my blues away

A G A G A
O’ Glory arise and shine for the day of execution you shall soon be mine
A G A G A
Spread your willows like the branches on a tree for great is your reward yes you’ll scream for victory

A G A G A
O’ Glory arise and shine for the day of execution you shall soon be mine
A G A G A
Spread your willows like the branches on a tree for great is your reward yes you’ll scream for victory

Hide No Truth
by Good Saint Nathanael

supported by 4 fans who also own “Great Is Your Reward”

With a genuine tenderness reminiscent of Mr. Rogers, the vulnerability & resolution of Kermit the Frog, and strength of Johnny Cash in the "American" recordings, Nate takes the listener to hell and back through his journey of brokeness, stumbling on toward wholeness, and ultimately reaching a place of hope. How can I pick a favorite? It would have to be either "Heaven" or "Trust." Nobility Smith
