Funeral Sequence: There is a Fountain / It Don’t Make Sense

There is a fountain filled with blood

Drawn from Immanuel's veins

And sinners plunged beneath that flood

Lose all their guilty stains

Lose all their guilty stains

Lose all their guilty stains

And sinners plunged benath that flood

Lose all their guilty stains

God forgive me what I think

God forgive me what I wish right now

You must've known Mary pretty well

Yessir, I did

This must be a mighty hard day for you

Did you ever hear her laugh?

When she laughed, you swore you'd never cry again

Did you ever see her smile?

Her smile was like a glass of lemonade

And she said funny things

And she wore pretty dresses

And she liked to see the pictures at the V.F.W Hall

And she loved ridin' swings

And she liked cotton candy

But I think she liked the pictures best of all

No, it don't make sense to me

That she won't be around

No, it don't make sense to me

To put her in the cold and lonely ground

And no, it don't make sense

The way the world can let you fall—

I swear it don't make sense to me at all

Dear dying lamb, Thy precious blood

Shall never lose it's pow'r

She had two crooked teeth

She had cuts on her fingers

She worked next to me last summer

Once a week, we used to play

And she knew how to read

She would smile at the foreman

And I can't believe they took my friend away

No, it don't make sense to me

That she will not be there (When she laughed, you swore you'd never cry again)

No, it don't make sense to me

She loved when I tied ribbons in her hair

And no, it don't make sense

The way the sun can still burn down

No, it don't make sense to me

God forgive me what I think

Tell me, son, got any idea who it was?

God forgive me what I wish right now

I don't know the coward's name

I don't know the bastard's face

But I swear right now to God

He ain't never gonna git away with what he done to Mary!
