Lyrics John Martyn

John Martyn

My Creator

I believe I heard a voice this morning

I believe I heard a voice

I do believe I heard a voice, heard a voice this morning

I believe I heard it twice

Always love, always love

We will sleep forever one day

Don’t cheat because I’ll take all of your heart away.

That’s what my creator told me: one day

That’s what he said to me one day.

Cause you fight till you fight no more

Be righteous

Be black or white as you please

But never bend the knee

That’s what my creator taught me.

My creator always said

Fight till you fight no more

Be righteous

Fight till you fight no more

Be right till you’re right no more

Try to till you try to no more

Cry till there’s no more crying

Live till you live no more

Live till there is no more dying

Be sweet till you can be sweet no more

Be sweet to your dying day.

That’s what my creator told me today

That’s what my creator taught me today.

Be still, be still inside your heart

Try forever, just try …

Be sweet forever

Forget me never

You know the Lord is true

Forget me never

Try to be truthful

I didn’t give you wings cause you ain’t in heaven

You ain’t in heaven yet

You are not in heaven yet

He said

Come and join me in a sweet celebration

Come and join me, come while you can

Come and join me in a sweet, sweet vision

Come and join me, come if you can.

That’s what he said.
