Lyrics
Oh mourning morning comes
Expressing the arrival of a sorrowful morning.
Love stays furious
Love remains intense and passionate.
I'll pray, oh, pain be done
Praying for relief from pain.
'Cause all you have is gone
Acknowledging the loss of everything.
So hold on to that other hand
Encouraging to hold on to another person's hand.
'Cause God will get his man
Belief that God will bring justice or resolution.
There must be some kind of circumstance
Suggesting a specific circumstance leading to divine intervention.
When God will get his man
Reiteration of the idea that God will intervene.
Again
Emphasizing the certainty of divine action.
Oh Southern comfort comes
Referring to a comforting aspect of Southern life.
And while I wait, I bleed
Expressing suffering while waiting.
I'll try to change you, boy
Attempting to change someone.
But on my faith you'll feed
Believing that faith sustains the person being changed.
So hold on to the other hand
Encouraging to hold on to another person's hand, reiterating divine justice.
'Cause God will get his man
Repeating the belief that God will ensure justice.
There must be some kind of circumstance
Reiterating the idea of a circumstance leading to divine intervention.
When God will get his man
Stressing the certainty of God getting his man.
Again
Emphasizing the repeated nature of divine justice.
Oh there must be some circumstance
Affirming the existence of circumstances for divine intervention.
When God will get his man
Reiterating the belief in divine justice.
Hold on to the other hand
Encouraging to hold on to another person's hand in anticipation of divine action.
When God will get his man
Belief that God will intervene again.
Again
Reaffirming the expectation of repeated divine intervention.
