1. Jesus, Mohammed, and Buddha were out in the hall;

D A G G A A7

They were smoking and playing at dice; it was winner take all.

G A A7

Then just when two thirds of the world was set up for a fall

D A G A D A G A

A voice from above or within said, Wait, this is my call.

G D A G A

Chorus: God is whatever you need God to be

G A A7

God is much bigger than you and much smarter than me.

G A A7

God is pro-life; cause God started it all, naturally.

D G A D A G A D A G A

God is pro-choice; God wanted our wills to be free.

D A G A D A G A

2. The father the son and the Ghost dawdled under a tree.

D A G G A A7

The Ghost said, We’ve got so much in common, why can’t we just agree?

G A A7

The Father said, Speak not unrighteousness, or you’d better flee.

D A G A D A G A

The Son said, Don’t talk like that, Daddy, that’s so B.C.

Repeat Chorus

3. God is a Lutheran, a Baptist, a Papist; God will put on any costume to save us,

A A7 D D7

Sending us love like a breeze blowing in through the gloom and mist.

G D

God is a Wiccan, a Sikh, a Bahai; God can do anything except hate or lie;

E E7 A A7

When push comes to shove, God is even a secular humanist.

G D A G A

Chorus: God is whatever you need God to be

Though God’s not what you want God to be - necessarily.

God is pro-life; cause God started it all, naturally.

God is pro-choice; God wanted our wills to be free.
