"God Ain't No Stained Glass Window" Written by Mark Germino There's so much I don't know There's so much I don't know I don't understand Why the summer's so hot I don't understand Why an apple core rots And I have no idea When I'll see a rainbow (Cash) Why there is a rainbow (Mattea/Phelps) But there's one thing I do know I know that God Ain't no stained glass window And I believe there is a Holy Ghost (Cash) Might be the old grey ghost (Mattea/Phelps) I know that God Ain't no stained glass window 'Cause He never keeps His window closed There's so much I don't see There's so much I don't see I don't see how hair Can turn silver-grey I don't see why prayers Can't get answered right away I don't see why some folks Keep a load in their mind With a sharp axe to grind And I don't understand Why the truth takes a twist I don't understand Why there is loneliness I don't know why they claim That some men have no soul (Cash) Only man has a soul (Mattea/Phelps) But there's one thing I do know I know that God ain't no stained glass window I believe that there is a Holy Ghost (Cash) Might be the old grey ghost (Mattea/Phelps) I know that God ain't no stained glass window 'Cause He never keeps His window closed No, He never keeps His window closed | Recorded by Johnny Cash Recorded by Kathy Mattea Recorded by Dean Phelps More Information About the Songwriter Mark Germino Official Websites of Johnny Cash Kathy Mattea Dean Phelps Buy Johnny Cash's version: Buy Kathy Mattea's version: Buy Dean Phelps' version: |
