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