Right On Time

Nina Hagen

You can't hurry my God


No, no, no


You just gotta wait


You've gotta trust God and give him time


No matter how long it will take


But he's a God we just can't hurry


But he'll be there, don't you worry


I say he may not come when you want him,


But he's "right on time!"





You can't hurry my God


No, no, no


You just gotta wait


You've gotta trust God and give him time


No matter how long it will take


But he's a God we just can't hurry


But he'll be there, don't you worry


I say he may not come when you want him,


But he's "right on time!"





Well, brother Joe was sick so long


Until the flesh fell from his bones


While with his wife, cattle and children


Well everything he had was gone





Joe said "You put these aflictions upon me Lord,


Now come and see about me"


I said he may not come when you want him,


Bue he's "right on time!"





Well some say he's coming in the morning


And he's gonna make the journey by train


Or some say he'd be riding in a chariot


Shakin' like an angel wing





Well I don't know how soon God's coming!


But don't let him catch you with your wicked game, now


He may not come with we want him


But he's "Right on time!"





You can't hurry my God


No, no, no


You just gotta wait


You've gotta trust God and give him time


No matter how long it will take


But he's a God we just can't hurry


But he'll be there, don't you worry


I say he may not come when you want him,


But he's "right on time!"





Yes!!!
