Our Lady of the Bus Depot is holding forth tonight
Her body it is wasted but her eyes are shining bright
And our father who art slightly drunk is warding off the shakes
And he staggers underneath the weight of the promises he makes

Say grace - say grace
Forgive yourself for all of your mistakes -
You can start all over if that's what it takes
Corne inside and set yourself a place
And say grace

We are gathered here together to praise his holy name
In a shelter by the Greyhound station down on 5th and Main
And as to who we're praying to there run two schools of thought
A benevolent provider or an unforgiving god

Say grace - say grace
Forgive yourself for all of your mistakes
You might find salvation in your neighbour's face
Come inside and set yourself a place
And say grace

Well the bible on the table's sayin' be of good cheer
But the TV in the corner's screamin' you're not welcome here
And on a poster in the waiting room she greets the tired and poor
Our Lady of the Harbour stands beside a golden door

Say grace - say grace
Forgive yourself for all of your mistakes
You are not a loser, you are not a hopeless case
Come inside and set yourself a place
And say grace
