lyrics

God, man of God.
Listen people to what I say, I shine a light that shows the way
It’s gonna tear your world apart, find a way into your heart
It’s a fire that will explode so run for cover and behold!
This is the voice of God

I’m gonna smash your golden idols, strip the priests and their disciples
Terrorize the money-lenders expose all pretenders
I’m gonna blow your mind away - the one you have is trash anyway

And I’m a holy man
Yeah I’m a holy man
A man of God

I’m a holy man
Yeah I’m a holy man
A man of God

I’m gonna come into your face, scream and shout all over the place
I’m gonna burn into your head all the things that Jesus said
I’ve seen a sign and heard the story and I believe in the power and
the glory

I bring love but not that kind, mine is fierce and hard to find
It’ll bring you to your knees, free your mind of all disease
So dance and sing and join the band and rejoice! the Kingdom of God
is at hand

And I’m a holy man
Yeah I’m a holy man
A man of God

I’m a holy man
Yeah I’m a holy man
A man of God

Some day we shall harness the energies of love
And for the second time in the history of the world
Man will have discovered fire.

And I’m a holy man
Yeah I’m a holy man
A man of God
I’m a holy man
