Brother Von & Sister Camilla
Thank you for speaking with me,
For letting me borrow your guitar
And for your praying with me

Brother Von you read me well
You called out my locked-up heart
You called me by my birth name
You are a man of compassion

Sister Camilla you wear a hat
You already teach from your heart,
with the beauty of a woman &
the light of a child’s eyes.

Chorus
You prayed in the name of Jesus
When I was ‘bout to crash the shoals
You pulled me up into the boat
With your praying souls.

Whether in the name of Jesus,
Or Von, Buddha or Camilla
Wanna catch sails with prophets of love
No more my soul a-bleeding (1st time)

Brother Von & Sister Camilla
Thank you for speaking with me,
For letting me borrow your guitar
And for your praying with me

Whether in the name of Jesus,
Or Von, Buddha or Camilla
Wanna catch sails with prophets of love
No more our churches bleeding!

Chorus
You prayed in the name of Jesus
When I was ‘bout to crash the shoals
You pulled me up into the boat
With your praying souls.
