Well who's that man says he's a prophet?
Well I wonder if he's got something up his sleeve
Where's he from? Who is his daddy?
There's rumors he even thinks himself a king
Of a kingdom of paupers
Simpletons and rogues
The whores all seem to love him
And the drunks propose a toast

And they say "Surely God is with us"
"Surely God is with us"
They say "Surely God is with us today"

Who's that man says he's a preacher?
Well he must be, he's disturbing all our peace
Where does he get off, what is he hiding?
Well every word he says those fools believe
Who could move a mountain
Who would love their enemy?
Who could rejoice in pain
And turn the other cheek

And still say "Surely God is with us"
"Surely God is with us"
Who'll say "Surely God is with us today"
"Blessed are the poor in spirit
Heaven belongs to them
Blessed are those who make peace
They are God's children
I am the bread of life
I am the way"
You hear that man
Believe what he says

Tell me who's that man they made him a prisoner
They tortured him and nailed him to a tree
Was he so bad? Who did he threaten?
Did he deserve to die between two thieves?
See the scars and touch his wounds
His risen flesh and bone
Now the sinners have become the saints
And the lost have all come home

And they say "Surely God is with us"
"Surely God is with us"
They say "Surely God is with us today"
Today

And they say "Surely God is with us"
"Surely God is with us"
They say "Surely God is with us today"
With us today
