Year of nineteen hundred and twelve
April the fourteenth day
Great Titanic struck an iceberg
The people had to run and pray

God moves
Moves
God moves
And the people had to run and pray

The rains came down in twenty-six
Louisiana up Arkansas-way
The rich and poor, the mother and child
The people had to run and pray

God moves
Moves
God moves
And the people had to run and pray

When the streets of San Francisco
Buckled like a horseshoe belt
And the fires raged and the buildings fell
Oh the pain that those good folks felt

God moves
Moves
God moves
And the people had to run and pray

Mighty woman, mighty man
Living in a world they don't understand
Come together it's the only way
I'm reaching out, you gotta take my hand

God moves
Moves
God moves
And the people had to run and pray
God moves
Moves
God moves
And the people had to run and pray
