The Lord is King, He Knows I'm a Queen

from Rock Mass Rodeo by The Songs of Tom Smith

/

lyrics

My brother loved my preaching, said my sermons were beautiful
He’d go kill an insect and I’d give it a funeral
Left school at 15 to be a Baptist Preacher
Get married said my pastor to resolve your feelings
Relations with men they’re just youthful exploration
You’re not a homosexual just a man led astray
Feelings overcome me and it’s causing me trouble
So I married his daughter and I learned to love her

CHORUS
The Lord Almighty’s King; I’m a lowdown dirty queen
He died for what matters; He died for my sins
The Lord is King; I’m a Queen and he’s glad for me
He died for my sins not my sexuality

Pentecostals never preached on sex
You might have sinned but God forgives and forgets
But when my Church found out, I was forced to leave
Goodbye to your parish, just ignore your feelings
I sat in a bath, I slit my wrists
Because I’m gay I can’t be a Christian
Because of who I am You can’t hear my prayer
I heard Him say I love you I heard Him say I care

CHORUS

My friend got arrested lewd and lascivious behavior
Slapped a man on the butt just like a football player does
I’m waiting for my chance God, waiting for you to bless me
Start a Church for a Lesbian and Gay fellowship
