Short version of rules
Without using a search engine to find one, write down at least eight words of a song containing the word (or the topic, if it's a general topic).
If it's the newest word, play once, and wait for another player to play before you go again.
On older words, you can play over and over without waiting!

"Soolaimon" by Neil Diamond
God of my want, want, want
Lord of my need, need, need
Leading me on, on, on
On to the woman, she dance for the sun

Incredibly clean with virtue to spare
The godliest man I know
C'est Moi!
From Camelot
I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I’ll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I’d be without you
~Beach Boys
I get downright depressed sometimes,
and yes, I am a goddess, but I can be unkind
Love Me Anyway ~ Amy Steinberg
My soul belongs to God, I know;
I made that bargain long ago.
He gave me hope when hope was gone,
He gave me strength to carry on.
Who Am I?
from Les Miserables
God is a concept by which we measure our pain
John Lennon
(he was so full of shit sometimes... and I say this as one who was a huge John Lennon fan and wouldn't even buy Paul McCartney albums after the Beatles broke up)
God bless America - land that I love!
Stand beside her, and guide her
(For some reason it feels like cheating to use all the hymns and contemporary Christian music I know on this one.)
what if god was one of us,
just a slob like one of us,
just a stranger on the bus,
trying to make his way home,
Joan Osborne
Did you write the book of love?
And do you have faith in God above,
If the Bible tells you so?
American Pie
Don McLean
We are never broken
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's mind
Hands ~ Jewel
Miche, it's not cheating to use hymns. Go ahead!
Now what might seem light cheating would be using parodies, such as
What if God smoked cannibis
Hit the bong like some of us?
:-)
It wouldn't be cheating, Sandra, but I feel the same as Miche. It's more of a personal challenge. Here's another Les Miserables reference (different song):
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
That's exactly how I look at it, Sally! It's too easy to use the hymns and other stuff. It's more of a challenge to think of secular music. Here's my next Les Mis contribution from the song Bring Him Home:
God on high,
Hear my prayer.
In my need,
You have always been there.
I'm pretty sure neither the old nor new lyrics game will have "Jesus," and I'm almost exclusively using words and categories from the real cards. Play whatever you like!
But you can't have this one anymore:
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come
(Now I'm doing the happy Baptist dance. OOOH no; wait. Step away from the dancing...) It's in everybody else's hymnal too, pretty much, so others can dance, although as a dance tune I'd have to give it a 65.
I'll try using some of your expanded "god" words as I run through my brain's churchsong file...
Oh! Here's one:
The Godhead, three in one
Father, Spirit, Son
The Lion and the Lamb
Lion and the Lamb
How great is our God
Sing with me
How great is our God
And all will see
How great, how great is our God
Nothing you could say could tear me away
From my God
(from Sister Act, a movie I love)
I've been up and down this highway,
Haven't seen a goddamn thing
"Life in the fast lane," Eagles
Representatives:
Sit down, John, sit down, John,
For God's sake, John, sit down!
John Adams:
I say vote yes! Vote yes! Vote for independency!
-From "1776"
A real challenge for Miche and me would be if we couldn't use church songs, hymns, or BROADWAY MUSICALS. :D
Hah! You're right, Sally! I've been thinking country songs, but either I don't know enough words or they refer to God without saying God.
Sandra, here's one for your happy Baptist dance (well, slow dance):
Great is thy faithfulness,
Oh, God, my father,
There is no shadow of turning in thee.
I grew up Baptist (although I identify myself more as non-denominational) and I love to dance. Maybe I'll start referring to myself as undenominational. :-)
Musicals!
And now I understand you're God
At least that's what you say
"Herod's Song," Jesus Christ Superstar
Sandra, I could not remember those lyrics from Jesus Christ Superstar to save my life, and I knew God was in that song somewhere!
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers.
Just remember when you're talking to the man upstairs (or is it up there)
That just because he doesn't answer
Doesn't mean he don't care.
Some of God's greatest gifts
Are unanswered prayers.
Garth Brooks
Finally! I knew there had to be a country song that I remembered enough words from.
I wanna live for you alone
Oh God, these words I vow
Marty Robbins, "The Master's Call"
a cheesy but dramatic cowboy song with a lightning storm and a stampede.
Tell me all your thoughts on God
-Counting Blue Cars by ???? (Mid 90s band but I can't remember their name for the life of me)
Spoke to God like he was talking to a friend,
And I said, "Son, now where'd you learn to pray like that?"
I've Been Watching You
Rodney Atkins
Be not dismayed whate'er betide
God will take care of you
hymnal thing
And the people bowed and prayed
to the neon god they made...
---Simon & Garfunkle
I am just your ordinary average every day sane psycho super goddess.
Extraordinary by Liz Phair
When you kiss your little baby
You kiss the face of God
"Mary Did you Know"
(I know it by Clay Aiken)
So, drink drink, to Charley Forte's memory. Marvelous doings and marvelous sights.
Drink drink, we may as well join them, the Gods are not Crazy, they're higher than kites.
"The Gods Are Not Crazy" - Lesly fish
God is God and I am not,
I can only see a part
Of the picture He's painting.
God is God and I am man,
So I'll never understand it all
For only God is God
Steven Curtis Chapman
And just before the meal was served
hands were held and prayers were said
sending hope for peace on earth
to all their gods and goddessesssssssssss
"The Christians and the pagans"
Dar Williams
Venus, goddess of love that you are
Surely the thing I ask
Can't be too great a task
Bobby Vee or somebody
Do you need a woman to look after you?
God, sometimes you just don't come through
-Tori Amos
Check ignition
And may God's love be with you
Space Oddity
David Bowie
Dear God,
Hope you got the letter and
I hope
You can make it better down here
-XTC
What do you say to the child
Whose god is in the T.V.?
And what do you say to the man
Who blames the world on T.V.?
LIVE- Waterboy
Left standing in the lurch at a church where people saying
My God that's rough she's stood him up
No point in us remaining
Alone Again Naturally
Gilbert O'Sullivan
Haven't you people ever heard of
Closing the goddamn door?
I keep hearing this on the radio. That's all I know.
God must be a boogie man! (God must be a boogie man!)
Joni Mitchell from the album "Mingus"
Will you get me right out of this god-forsaken town?
Meat Loaf, "Anything for Love" (another fine Jim Steinman song)
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
Pray to God he hears you
How to Save a Life
The Fray
God only knows
God makes his plan
The information's unavailable to the mortal man
Slip Slidin' Away
Paul Simon (Art Garfunkel)
God it looks like Daniel
Must be the clouds in my eyes
Elton John
