Hymn For A New Age — Ray Davies

I don't believe that God is a man with white hair Sitting in a big chair Judging the world and its morals Forgiving today so we can sin again tomorrow

But I believe I need something to look up to I believe I wanna pray but don't know what to

I'm not a born again preacher My soul's too far gone to be saved The world is wild and at this stage We need a hymn for a new age

Ooh have you heard the news Bible bashers where are the queues A saint played a gig but he got crap reviews The punters didn't like the product or the venue

I need something to connect to Someone to help me through Something I can pray to

This is my hymn for a new age Rewrite the book on a fresh page If I'm to find God and be saved I need a hymn for a new age

(We need a hymn for a new age)

The invader's arrived now here comes the war Satan keeps knocking at my door Time has come for a new crusade Cast out the evil before they blow the world away

We need a hymn I believe I need something to look up to I believe I wanna pray but don't know what to.

We need a hymn for a new age Rewrite the book on a fresh page If I'm to find God and be saved I need a hymn for a new age

We need a hymn for a new age

Each man build your own cross For every soul that's ever been lost Life is cheap people take it at no cost We need a hymn for a new age
