Thread Name: Lyr Req: Legend of the USS Titanic (Jaime Brockett
Subject: RE: Jamie Brockett: Titanic
There are many songs about the Titanic. We used to sing one in camp:

When they built the ship Titanic, to sail the ocean blue
They said they built a ship that the water couldn't get through
But the good Lord raised His hand
And said that ship will never stand
It was sad when the great ship went down.

CHORUS
It was sad, so sad
It was sad, so very sad
It was sad when the great ship went down [sung in harmony, one group here sings "to the bottom of the sea]
Husbands and wives little children lost their lives
It was sad when the great ship went down.

I always thought it was a little unfair to blame God, since they had plenty of warning about the iceberg and it wasn't him who built it out of brittle steel with ineffective bulkheads. However, you do tempt fate when you assert that God himself can't sink it. . . .
