Teen for God Lyrics

Dar Williams

The sun burns down

Leaving God's bright stamp

On Peace Branch Horse and Bible Camp

Where we're splashing in the water

Joined in song

Swimming with the Spirit the whole day long

I'm a teen for God



God is watching - teen for God

God is watching - teen for God



The girls have looks and the girls have rules

They came here from their Bible schools

They can make you pay attention

To the way you dress and eat

Make you trip over your own two feet and they

Kneel down on their towels at night

Their nightgowns glow with a Holy light

And we pray for the sinners

And their drunken car wrecks

And vow that I'll never get high

And have sex

I'm a teen for God



God is watching - teen for God

God is watching - teen for God



And God made every leaf on every tree

Each grain of sand
God has a plan

For what we're meant to be
I gotta wait for God


Dear Lord
I plan each day

The things I will not do or say

But I'm driven by a passion

Is it only there to tame?

It fills my heart and it calls my name and

This world that you made for us

I know, I know, is dangerous

So I ride a lot of horses

And I never even swear

Sorta like praying I'm just not there



Oh God



God is watching - oh God

God is watching



But God made love

God made the rivers run

And cowboy boots and bathing suits

And the boys' skin dries in the sun...

You gotta help me, God


Help me know, four years from now
I won't believe in you anyhow

And I'll mope around the campus

And I'll feel betrayed

All those guilty summers I stayed

But then I'll laugh

That I fell for the lure

Of the pain of desire to feel so pure

And I'll bear all the burdens

Of my little daily crimes

Wish I had a God for such cynical times

Far from today



But for now I'm your sacred vessel

Rip me open - I spread your word

Like a milkweed pod

I'm your radio station -

And a Holy transmission

Even more, like a lightning rod



I'm a lightning rod - a teen for God



God is watching - teen for God

God is watching... a teen for God
