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