Up in Manitoba
The sky was very blue
The people were a few
And nights were getting colder
And when I heard the sound
Saw the sky turn red
I got up from my bed
And I wandered far from town
I have seen the face of God
And I was not afraid
I have seen the face of God
And I have dearly paid
Darkness came I couldn't see
I had no light to follow
I slept inside the hollow
Of a dead and fallen tree
I'll tell you how three days I tried
To wake my up, ah, but no
My flesh had turned to snow
And I thought I had died
For I have seen the face of God
And I was not afraid
I have seen the face of God
And I have dearly paid
And though I had it rough
They got me home in time
And they gave me homemade wine
But it was not enough
The cold had made me dumb
And I was sent away
These walls are here today
For fifty years and some
Yes, I have seen the face of God
And I was not afraid
I have seen the face of God
And I have dearly paid
I have seen the face of God
And I was not afraid
I have seen the face of God
And I have dearly paid
