Benjamin, I dunno any of those! Who wrote/did them?

Here's my version of "God is a God" or "God Don't Never Change."

GOD DON'T NEVER CHANGE
by Blind Willie Johnson & Traditional
(Edited and last verse by Susan O. Hinton)

CHORUS:
Yes God is God,
God don't never change...
He's God
Always will be God.

God before creation,
God when Adam fell.
God way up in heaven,
God way down in hell.

God in the middle of the ocean,
God in the middle of the sea.
God in the green green forest,
God in all we see.

Spoke right up to the mountain;
Said, "How great I am.
Want you to get up this mornin',
Skip around like a lamb."

God in the middle of the happy time,
God in the misery.
God when we tell Him our troubles,
God in the victory.

God in the time of sickness,
God in the doctor too.
In the time of the influenzy
He truly was God to you.

God up in the pulpit,
God way down at the door.
He's God in the amen corner,
God all over the floor.

Made the stars to shine by night,
The sun to shine by day.
Made the moon to show the light,
The sun to show the way.

The whole creation all His own,
His promises never fail.
The earth His footstool, heaven His throne,
His love and power will prevail!

God in the power of the Spirit
God in the love of the Son.
God in the mighty Father,
God all three in one.
