Brother Brigham, Brother Young Lyrics - Corb Lund

music and lyrics by Corb Lund 

I have sinned so gravely Brother Brigham, Brother Young 

I have sinned so gravely Brother Young 

That only you can save me Brother Brigham, Brother Young 

That only you can save me Brother Young 

I have revealed the temples secrets Brother Brigham, Brother Young 

The temple garments, oaths and secrets Brother Young 

I have apostatized and doubted Brother Brigham, Brother Young 

And borne my testimony falsely Brother Young 

And I have loved a woman Brother Brigham, Brother Young 

A woman in adultery Brother Young 

I have also wed a negress Brother Brigham, Brother Young 

My fifth wife has some color Brigham Young 

I now see that you're a prophet Brother Brigham, Brother Young 

A living, breathing prophet Brother Young 

And now I believe the revelations Brother Brigham, Brother Young 

I now believe your revelations, every one 

Even the ones beyond all reason Brother Brigham, Brother Young 

Even the ones beyond all reason Brother Young 

For you're the Lord's own earthly prophet Brother Brigham, Brother Young 

And hes simply testing in our faith o Brigham Young 

My only hope for exaltation Brother Brigham, Brother Young 

My only chance for exaltation Brother Young 

Is to send me o'er the rim of the basin Brother Brigham, Brother Young 

The rim of the Salt Lake Basin Brother Young 

For water cannot save me Brother Brigham, Brother Young 

Baptismal water cannot save me Brigham Young 

My sins are just too deep a dye o Brother Brigham, Brother Young 

My sins are just too deep a stain o Brother Young 

So send Avenging Angels Brother Brigham, Brother Young 

Won't you send Destroying Danites Brother Young 

To spill my blood upon the earth o Brother Brigham, Brother Young 

I beg you spill my blood o Brother Young 

And let its smoke ascend to heaven Brother Brigham Brother Young 

And let my breast be cut asunder Brother Young 

As an offering for my sins, a smoking incense Brother Young 

A blood atoning for my sinning Brother Young
