  • Verse 1
    have 
    an apology 
    to 
    make. 
    I'm afraid 

    I've made 
    a big 
    mistake. 
    I turned 
    my face 
    away 
    from 
    you, 
    Lord. 

    I was 
    too blind 
    to see 
    the 
    light. 
    was 
    too 
    weak 
    to feel 
    Your 
    might. 

    I closed 
    my eyes; 
    I couldn't 
    see the 
    truth, 
    Lord. 

    But then like 
    Saul 
    on the 
    Damascus 
    road, 

    you 
    sent 
    a messenger 
    to me, 
    an
    so... 

    I have 
    had 
    the truth 
    revealed 
    to 
    me. 
    Please 
    for
    give me 
    all those 
    things 
    said. 
    I'll 
    no longer 
    betray 
    you, 

    Lord. 
    I will 
    pray 
    to 
    you in
    stead. 

    And I will 
    say 
    "Thank 
    you, 
    thank 
    you, 

    thank 
    you 
    God. 
    Thank 
    you, 
    thank 
    you, 
    thank 
    you 
    God." 

    Thank 
    you 
    God 
    for 
    fixing 
    the 

    cataracts 
    of 
    Sam's 
    mum. 

    I had 
    no idea 
    but 
    it's 
    suddenly 
    so 
    clear 
    now. 
    feel 

    such 
    a cynic. 
    How could 
    have been so 
    dumb? 

    Thank 
    you for displaying 
    how 
    praying 
    works: a par
    ticular 
    prayer 
    in a particular 
    church. 

    Thank 
    you 
    Sam 
    for the 
    chance 
    to acknowledge 
    this 
    omnipotent 
    opthamo
    logist. 

    Thank you 
    God 
    for 
    fixing 
    the 
    cataracts 
    of 
    Sam's 
    mum. 
    didn't 
    realize 
    that it was 
    so 
    simple, 

    but you've 
    shown 
    a great 
    example 
    of just 
    how 
    it can be 
    done. 

    You 
    only 
    need to 
    pray 
    in a particular 
    spot 
    to 
    a par
    ticular 
    version 
    of a particular 
    god, 

    and if 
    you 
    pull 
    that 
    off 
    without 
    a hitch, 
    he will 
    fix 
    one 
    eye 
    of one 
    middle- 
    class 
    white 
    bitch. 

    know 
    in 
    the 
    past 
    my 
    outlook 
    has 
    been 
    limited. 
    couldn't 
    see 
    examples 
    of 
    where 
    life 
    had 
    been 
    definitive. 
    But 
    can 
    admit 
    it 
    when 
    the 
    evidence 
    is 
    clear, 

    as 
    clear 
    as 
    Sam's 
    mum's 
    new 
    cornea. 

    That's 
    extremely 
    clear! 

    Extremely 
    clear! 

    Thank 
    you 
    God 
    for 
    fixing 
    the cataracts 
    of 
    Sam's 
    mum. 
    have 
    to 
    admit 
    that 
    in 
    the past 

    have 
    been skeptical 
    but 
    Sam 
    described 
    this 
    miracle 
    and 
    am 
    overcome! 

    How 
    fitting 
    that 
    the sighting 
    of 
    a sight- 
    based 
    interven
    tion 
    should 
    open 
    my 
    eyes 
    to 
    this 
    exciting 
    new 
    dimension. 

    It's 
    like 
    someone 
    put 
    an eye 
    chart 
    on 
    the wall 
    in 
    front 
    of 
    me 
    and 
    the top 
    five 
    letters 
    say: 
    D. 

    Thank 
    you, 
    Sam, 
    for showing 
    how 
    my 
    point 
    of 
    view 
    has 
    been 
    so 
    flawed. 
    assumed 
    there 
    was 
    no 
    God 

    at 
    all 
    but 
    now 
    see 
    that's 
    cynical. 
    It's 
    simply 
    that 
    his 
    interests 
    aren't 
    particularly 
    broad. 

    He's 
    largely 
    undiverted 
    by 
    the starving 
    masses, 
    or 
    the 
    inequality 
    between 
    the 
    various 
    classes. 
    He 
    gives 
    out 
    strictly 
    limited 
    passes, 

    redeem
    able 
    for surgery 
    or 
    two- 
    for- 
    one 
    glasses. 

    I feel 
    so 
    shocking 
    for 
    his
    torically 
    mocking. 
    Your 
    interests 
    are 
    clearly 
    con
    fined 
    to 
    the 
    ocular. 
    bet 
    given 
    the chance, 

    you'd 
    es
    chew 
    the 
    divine 
    and 
    start 
    little 
    business 
    selling 
    contact
    s on
    line. 

    Fuck 
    me 
    Sam, 
    what 
    are 
    the 
    odds 
    that 
    of 
    history's 
    endless 
    parade 
    of 
    gods 
    that 
    the 
    God 
    you 
    just 
    happened 
    to 
    be 
    taught 
    to 
    believe 
    in 
    is 
    the 
    actu
    al 
    one 
    and 
    he 
    digs 
    on 
    healing, 

    but 
    not 
    the 
    AIDS- 
    ridden 
    African 
    nations, 
    the 
    victims 
    of 
    the 
    plague 
    or 
    the flood- 
    addled 
    Asians, 
    but 
    healthy, 
    privately- 
    insured 
    Australians 
    with 
    common 
    and 
    curable 
    corneal 
    degeneration? 

    This 
    story 
    of 
    Sam's 
    has 
    but 
    single 
    explanation: a 
    surgical 
    God 
    who 
    digs 
    on 
    magic 
    operations. 
    It couldn't 
    be 
    mistaken 
    attri
    bution 
    of 
    causation, 
    born 
    of 
    coincidental 
    tem
    poral 
    correl
    ation, 

    ex
    acerbated 
    by 
    general 
    lack 
    of 
    education 
    vis- 
    a- 
    vis 
    physics 
    in Sam's 
    parish 
    congregation. 
    And 
    it 
    couldn't 
    be 
    that 
    all 
    these 
    pious 
    people 
    are 
    liars. 
    It couldn't 
    be 
    an 
    artifact 
    of 
    confirmation 
    bias, 
    product 
    of 
    groupthink, a 
    mass 
    delusion, 
    an 
    Emperor's 
    New 
    Clothes- 
    style 
    fear 
    of 
    exclusion. 

    No, 
    it's 
    more 
    likely 
    to 
    be 
    an 
    all- 
    power
    ful 
    magician 
    than the 
    misdiagnosis of 
    the ini
    tial 
    condition, 

    or 
    one 
    of 
    many 
    cases 
    of 
    spon
    taneous 
    remission, 
    or 
    record- 
    keeping 
    glitch 
    by 
    the 
    local 
    physi
    cian. 

    No, the 
    only 
    explanation 
    for Sam's 
    mum's 
    seeing: they 
    prayed 
    to 
    an 
    all- 
    knowing 
    superbeing, to 
    the 
    omnipresent 
    master 
    of 
    the universe, 

    and 
    he 
    liked 
    the 
    sound 
    of 
    their 
    muttered 
    verse. 

    So 
    for 
    bit 
    of 
    change 
    from 
    his 
    usual 
    stunt 
    of 
    being 
    a sex
    ist, 
    racist, 
    murderous 
    cunt, 
    he 
    popped 
    down 
    to Dandenong 
    and 
    just 
    like 
    that, 

    used 
    his powers 
    to heal 
    the 
    cataracts 
    of 
    Sam's 
    mum 
    – of 
    Sam's 
    mum! 

    Thank 
    you 
    God 
    for 
    fixing 
    the 
    cataracts 
    of 
    Sam's 
    mum! 
    didn't 
    realize 

    that it was 
    such 
    a simple 
    thing. I 
    feel 
    such 
    dingaling, what 
    ignorant 
    scum! 

    Now 
    I understand 
    how 
    prayer 
    can 
    work: a par
    ticular 
    prayer 
    in 
    a particular 
    church 
    in a par
    ticular 
    style 
    with a particular 
    stuff 
    andfor
    particular 
    problems 
    that aren't 
    particularly 
    tough, 

    and for par
    ticular 
    people, 
    preferably 
    white, 
    for par
    ticular 
    senses, 
    preferably 
    sight 
    – a par
    ticular 
    prayer 
    in a particular 
    spot, 
    to 
    a par
    ticular 
    version 
    of a particular 
    god. 

    And if you 
    get 
    that 
    right, 
    He 
    just 
    might 
    take 
    a break 
    from 
    giving 
    babies 
    mal
    aria 

    and pop 
    down 
    to 
    your 
    local 
    area 
    to 
    fix 
    the 
    cataracts 
    of 
    your 
    mum! 

    Hallelujah!

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
