My ultimate Titanic song... God Moves On The Water
sung by BLIND WILLIE JOHNSON (1929) Gospel

Year of nineteen hundred and twelve, April the fourteenth day
Great Titanic struck an iceberg, people had to run and pray
God moves, moves, God moves, ah, and the people had to run and pray
The guards who had been a-watching, asleep cause they was tired
When they heard the great excitement, many gunshot were fired
God moves, moves, God moves, ah, and the people had to run and pray
Captain Smith gave orders, women and children first
Many of the lifeboats piled right up, many were liable to crush
God moves on, God moves, God moves, ah, and the people had to run and pray
Ahh ah
How many leaving happy homes, all that they possess
Lord Jesus, will you hear us now, help us in our distress
God moves, God moves, God moves, ah, people had to run and pray
Women had to leaving loving ones, they were the safest
When they heard the liner was doomed, hearts did almost break
God moves, God moves, God moves, ah, and the people had to run and pray
A.G. Smith, mighty man, built a boat that he couldn't understand
Named it a name-a god in a tin, fed to the sea, Lord to pull it in
God moves, ah, God moves, God moves, ah, and the people had to run and pray
Well, Ahh, ah, Lord
