The Creek That Ran Behind Our House
Father what have you and him
Father what have you and him
The landed boy, a child to wear
On your knee

Moses went down to the creek
Moses went down to the creek
And washed our sins
With hair that ran down to his feet
And washed our sins
As far and blindness can see

Follow me out to the yard
Follow me out to the yard
And I'll place my promise upon your hands
So we can be

Father take me by the hand
Father take me by the hand
And lead me where I first fell down upon your knees
And lead me where I first cried out upon your knees
Give me another name
Make me a brighter shirt
Send me a flaming work
In the garden next to Peter
Where I wait and sleep
And wait with ether
Like a clawing child
In the garden next to Peter

Will you forgive who I am
Will you forsake who I am
Did you forknow who I am

To give me another name
Make me a brighter shirt
Send me a flaming work
In the garden next to Peter
Where I wait for sleep and for my keeper
But still i find in the garden next to neither

Will you forgive who I am
Will you forsake who I am
Did you forknow who I am
Will you forget who I am
Oh go and forget
