Lyrics

Divorce
Parody of "The Voice" performed by The Moody Blues and written by Justin Hayward
(Matthew 5:31-32, 19:3-12; 1 Corinthians 7:15; Malachi 2:13-16; Exodus 20:14)

Lord, she makes me act the fool
I plead with her — she's cold and cruel
Though she plainly crossed the line
I need Your Spirit — just want more signs

Oh, oh, won't You tell me, What then?
Oh, oh, can You heal it?
Oh, oh, won't You help me again tonight?

Future's very hard to see
Surrounded by a world of grief
She said, Let me ride; it's done
She's dated by another one

Oh, oh, won't You tell me, What then?
Oh, oh, can You heal it?
Oh, oh, won't You help me again tonight? Tonight?

Cross out all emotional strife from love
There's so many scars — we must size 'em up
Can I hear Your Spirit groaning — as this marriage gets tossed away?
We're already stalling — it's calling me back to face what You said
There in Matthew 5:32
Adultery's appalling — The one that it's galling is You

Break a promise, break a vow
With lustful feelings, it's easy now
Understand divorce with sin
She feels estranged — won't let me forgive her

Oh, oh, won't You tell me, What then?
Oh, oh, can You heal it?
Oh, oh, won't You help me again tonight?

Oh, oh, won't You tell me, What then?
Oh, oh, can You heal it?
Oh, oh, won't You help me again tonight? Tonight?

It's now getting worse, and I've got to say
Yes, how many signs would I need to stay?
With a dark and cloudy future — shall I pack up my things at last?
It's already scalding — it's calling me on to face what You said
Matthew 19:9's — comin' through
With all that is falling
The One that I'm calling is You

Even if she parts with me
I'm bound to Christ — in word and deed
Oh, ancient, heavenly, rising Son
Whose grace abides with lonely, lowly ones

Won't You tell me, What then?
Ohhh, can You heal it?
Oh, oh, won't You help me again tonight?

Ohhh, won't You tell me, What then?
Oh, oh, can You heal it?
Oh, oh, won't You help me again tonight? Tonight
(Tonight)
Oh, Lord, can you heal it? (Tonight)
Oh, oh, won't You help me again tonight?

Matthew 5:32
"But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery."
