Jess Williamson - Rosaries At The Border Lyrics

Be thou my vision, be my vision
Be thou my wisdom, be my wisdom
Lord, something's missing, something we are missing
They come running, hideous horror down at the border
Mama and baby, Mama, she is weeping
But we are a God-fearing, God-fearing country
So they come running

They told her life was better on the other side
You'll give your babies a better chance
Than you've had in your whole life
For the fate of the family
Now she prayed to Jesus Christ
She came running
She came running
She came running

Oh to wash her feet with my perfumed hand
To touch the hem they are making her wear
Then say "forgive my nation, they know what they do"
Said somewhere down the line, we serve the same God as you
They came running too
They came running too
They came running too
They came running too

Be our vision, be our vision
Be thou our wisdom, be our wisdom
