[Intro]
G C D (3x)
C D
G C D (4x)
[Verse 1]
G C D
Well, I was born a sickly little child
G C D
Nearly died just after my birth
G C D
For five years, I fought the illness
G C D
My mother prayed and prayed, for what it's worth
[Verse 2]
G C D
That time we travelled along
G C D
Back home to Ireland
G C D
I took sick and the doctors admit
G C D
I should have died right there and then by their hands
[Verse 3]
G C D
Mother called it an overdose
G C D
They called it an oversight
G C D
Either way, I should not have survived
G C D G C D
But since then, I've never been sick a day in my life
[Chorus]
C
Call it divine purpose
D
Call it faith
C
Watch Mass on Channel 56
D
And that way you'll never be late
G C D G
And god will thank you
G D G C D G C D
God will thank you
[Verse 4]
G C D
Well, I've seen the heavens open up
G C D
I've seen the angels fly
G C D
Well, I've seen children killed
G C D
And I've seen grown men cry
[Verse 5]
G C D
I know all about (Noah's ark
G C D
Rain's been falling all the while
G C D
And I heard about Adam and Eve
G C D G C D
But I still believe she never got a fair trial
[Chorus]
C
Call it divine purpose
D
Say it's all true
C
Well, they never brought anything back from Roswell
D
So who are you gonna pray to
G C D G
And god will thank you
C D G C D G C D
God will thank you
[Verse 6]
G C D
So, maybe I only read the bible
G C D
When I'm staying at the Holiday Inn
G C D
I see church on Easter and Christmas
G C D
But every other Sunday, I just can't fit it in
[Verse 7]
G C D
But I'm coming from a true place
G C D
I'm shining like a new light
G C D
I'm thanking god every day
G C D G C D
For everything I have in my life
[Chorus]
C
Call it divine purpose
D
Call it faith
C
Maybe you don't believe in god
D
Because the Big Bang theory really holds more weight
G C D G
And god will thank you
C D G C D G C D
God will thank you
C D G C D G
God will thank you
C D G C D G
God will thank you
