music and lyrics by Corb
I have sinned so gravely Brigham, Brother Young I have sinned so gravely Brother That only you can save me Brother Brigham, Young That only you can me Brother Young
I have revealed the temples Brother Brigham, Brother Young The temple garments, oaths and secrets Brother I have apostatized and doubted Brigham, Brother Young And borne my testimony falsely Brother
And I loved a woman Brother Brigham, Brother Young A woman in adultery Brother I also wed a negress Brother Brigham, Brother Young My fifth wife has some color Young
I now see that a prophet Brother Brigham, Brother Young A living, breathing prophet Brother And now I believe the revelations Brigham, Brother Young I now your revelations, every one
Even the ones beyond all reason Brother Brigham, Young Even the ones beyond all reason Brother For you're the Lord's own earthly prophet Brother Brigham, Young And hes simply testing in our o Brigham Young
My only hope for exaltation Brother Brigham, Young My chance for exaltation Brother Young Is to send me the rim of the basin Brother Brigham, Brother Young The rim of the Salt Basin Brother Young
For cannot save me Brother Brigham, Brother Young Baptismal water save me Brigham Young My sins are just too deep a dye o Brigham, Brother Young My sins are just too deep a stain o Brother
So send Avenging Angels Brigham, Brother Young Won't you Destroying Danites Brother Young To spill my blood the earth o Brother Brigham, Brother Young I beg you spill my blood o Young
And let its smoke ascend to heaven Brother Brigham Young And let my breast be cut Brother Young As an offering for my sins, a smoking incense Brother A atoning for my sinning Brother Young
