Saint Luther

Did the knocking sound familiar when he nailed us to the door And seventy times seven equaled one plus ninety four If Martin didn't want to pay for sinning anymore He didn't count the cost of what it takes to start a war When I found you on the road to town I asked you what you knew You told me we were wrong but you ate dinner with me too You said you brought the valley high and made all of us new But I didn't know your name until you broke the bread in two Did the knocking sound familiar when he nailed us to the door And seventy times seven equaled one plus ninety four If Martin didn't want to pay for sinning anymore He didn't count the cost of what it takes to start a war When the preacher ends the sermon and I didn't catch a word I'll search the paper in my hands for everything I heard While he recited gospel I was writing all the dirt I've held against these sinners that the Savior called the church Did the knocking sound familiar when he nailed us to the door And seventy times seven equaled one plus ninety four If Martin didn't want to pay for sinning anymore He didn't count the cost of what it takes to start a war So Jesus when you see my hand go reaching for the pen Take the plank and make it sink a little deeper in Make the sinners saints and make Saint Luther my best friend And stitch us all together so we don't kill you again
