If It Be Your Will

[Intro: Leonard Cohen]

It was a, a while ago

Faced with some obstacles that I, I wrote a song

Well, it's more of a prayer

And I'll give you the first few lines

And then Neil Larsen on the Hammond B-3 and the Webb Sisters

Will unfold the song

[Verse 1: Leonard Cohen]

If it be your will that I speak no more

And my voice be still as it was before

I will speak no more, I shall abide until

I am spoken for, if it be your will

[Verse 2: Leonard Cohen]

If it be your will that a voice be true

From this broken hill, I will sing to you

From this broken hill, all your praises they shall ring

If it be your will to let me sing

[Verse 1: The Webb Sisters]

If it be your will that I speak no more

And my voice be still as it was before

I will speak no more, I shall abide until

I am spoken for, if it be your will

[Verse 2: The Webb Sisters]

If it be your will that a voice be true

From this broken hill, I will sing to you

From this broken hill, all your praises they shall ring

If it be your will to let me sing

[Verse 3: The Webb Sisters]

If it be your will, if there is a choice

Let the rivers fill, let the hills rejoice

Let your mercy spill on all these burning hearts in hell

If it be your will to make us well

[Verse 4: The Webb Sisters]

And draw us near, oh, bind us tight

All your children here in their rags of light

In our rags of light, all dressed to kill

And end this night, if it be your will

And end this night, if it be your will

Oh, if it be your will

Oh, oh

Oh, if it be your will

[Outro: Leonard Cohen]

Hattie and Charley Webb, the sublime Webb Sisters
