This is Tom Waits at his best. Not only does he give us an uplifting gospel tune, but he combines it with a poignant snippet of the human condition.
Is he a simple spiritual man doing his best to make the world a better place?
Is he an ignorant drunk who uses religion to hide from his weaknesses?
Is he just another schmuck trying his best to live his life as best as he can?
BTW I don't see him dying any sooner than the rest of us. Jesus will be here soon enough.
