His Truth Is Marching On Lyrics

They say that God is great
They say that God is love and I believe them
Don? t fear the random fate
I trust the hand of the Almighty and the infinite

His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on

Let me know your enormity
And my tininess
And help me see your infinity
And my finiteness

And I? m fucking starved for love
I deeply need to feel connection with the infinite
I want the nourishment
I need to drink it just like water, and it will sustain me

His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on

Let me know your enormity
And my tininess
And help me see your infinity
And my finiteness

My heart is yearning now
My arms are aching for some girl
Or other, didn? t want me
And still I need you more
Need you to soothe this searing sadness
And the nameless gnawing

His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching

His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on

Let me know your enormity
And my tininess
And help me see your infinity
And my finiteness and

Mike Doughty (born June 10, 1970, in Fort Knox, Kentucky) is an American indie and alternative rock singer-songwriter and author. The former frontman of Soul Coughing from 1992, Doughty began writing solo songs in 1995, but nothing materialized until Soul Coughing broke up in 2000. At this point Doughty began touring solo with his acoustic guitar (after becoming clean and sober). His album Skittish (recorded 1996; released 2000) was finally released, along with the EP Rockity Roll. Doughty then formed a touring band including an upright bass, drums and keyboard.

Doughty's sound is that of muted acoustic guitar rhythms and nasally vocals with impeccable melodies. His lyrics are unique, and he can be described as a master wordsmith. He turned to a new direction for his 2008 album, Golden Delicious. Instead of an acoustic gritty sound, he began using things like electric guitars, stronger vocal backgrounds and even a cello.

Doughty's album, Yes and Also Yes, was released in August 2011. In January 2012, The Book of Drugs, Doughty's memoir about his "ugly, drug-doing years", was published by Da Capo Press. In 2012 Doughty recorded a version of "Take Me Home, Country Roads" for a fund-raising cd titled "Super Hits Of The Seventies" for radio station WFMU. Doughty's album, The Question Jar Show, was released in late January 2012. It is a two disc set containing highlights from his Question Jar tour.
