Closer My God to Thee Lyrics

My name is Charles Guiteau
this is my personal
victory rhapsody.
Here before God I stand
martyred by my own land
infamy, dignity

Now that I know
I am going to my Lord
with Him I’ll live out my destiny
and I will be remembered forever

I fired the bullet
the surgeons won’t pull it out
on the bed, now he’s dead
They say I killed the man
I followed Jesus’ plan
I’m a priest -should be released

Now I can see
it was you instead of me
if I am guilty then so is God
He won’t be judged by men
neither will I

Now that I know
I am going to my Lord
with Him I’ll live out my destiny
and I will be remembered forevermore

My name is Charles Guiteau
this is my personal
victory rhapsody.
Here before God I stand
martyred by my own land
infamy, dignity

Now that I know
I am going to my Lord
with Him I’ll live out my destiny
and I will be remembered for ever

My name is Charles Guiteau
This is my rhapsody
This is my personal victory
And I will be remembered forever
