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