Well I was born a sickly little child

Nearly died just after my birth

For five years, I fought the illness

My mother prayed and prayed, for what it's worth

That time we travelled along

Back home to Ireland

I took sick and the doctors admit

I should have died right there and then by their hands

Mother called it an overdose

They called it an oversight

Either way, I should not have survived

But since then, I've never been sick a day in my life

Call it divine purpose

Call it faith

Watch Mass on Channel 56

And that way you'll never be late

And God will thank you

God will thank you

Well I've seen the heavens open up

I've seen the angels fly

Well I've seen children killed

And I've seen grown men cry

I know all about Noah's ark

Rain's been falling all the while

And I heard about Adam and Eve

But I still believe she never got a fair trial

Call it divine purpose

Say it's all true

Well they never brought anything back from Rosewell

So who are you gonna pray to

And God will thank you

God will thank you

So maybe I only read the bible

When I'm staying at the Holiday Inn

I see church on Easter and Christmas

But every other Sunday, I just can't fit it in

But I'm coming from a true place

I'm shining like a new light

I'm thanking God every day

For everything I have in my life

Call it divine purpose

Call it faith

Maybe you believe in God

Because the big bang theory don't hold much weight

And God will thank you

God will thank you

God will thank you

God will thank you
