Conversion "Look God I Have Never Spoken To You"

Performed by Denver Darling
Recorded May 28, 1945
Written by John W. Bratton, Geoffrey O'Hara, Frances Angermayer

Look God, I have never spoken to you
But now I want to say, "How do you do?"
You see, they had told me you didn't exist
And like a fool I believed all this
Last night from a shell hole I saw your sky
I figured right then they had told me a lie
Had I taken time to see the things you made
I'd known they weren't calling a spade a spade
I wonder, God, if you would take my hand
Somehow I seem to feel you'll understand
It's funny, I had to come to this hellish place
Before I had the time to see your face
I guess that there isn't much more to say
But I am so glad that I met you today
I guess that the zero hour will soon be here
But I'm not afraid, since I know you're near
The signal; well, I guess I'll have to go
I like you lots and I want you to know
Look, now I'm goin' into the fight
Who knows but I may come to your house tonight
Though I wasn't friendly with you before
I wonder now, God, if you'd wait at your door
I look now I'm crying, me shedding tears
I wish I had known you these many years
Well, I have to go now, I'll say good-bye
Strange, since I met you, I'm not afraid to die
