|
It was a wide spot out in the country |
|
Away from the lights of the city |
|
Where an old time preacher pitched a ragged old tent |
|
Looked like it was a hundred years old |
|
He started out preaching to no one |
|
But pretty soon a crowd started gathering |
|
And he preached the gospel |
|
At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road |
|
I turned into a wild man |
|
Some people said I'd gone crazy |
|
But all too soon came the harvest |
|
Of the wild seeds that I had sown |
|
Well, I stumbled into that meeting |
|
I was looking like death warmed over |
|
But then I heard the gospel |
|
At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope road |
|
When they sing come ye sinners, lost and hopeless |
|
Lord I was hopeless heaven knows |
|
Something got a hold of me, something got a hold hallelujah |
|
When I heard the gospel |
|
At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road |
|
It's still a wide spot out in the country |
|
Away from the lights of the city |
|
I pitched that old tent he gave me |
|
The day that he died and went home |
|
Some times I start preaching to no one |
|
But pretty soon a crowd starts gathering |
|
And I now preach the gospel |
|
At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road |
|
And we sing come ye sinners, lost and hopeless |
|
Lord I was hopeless heaven knows |
|
Something got a hold of me, something got a hold hallelujah |
|
When I heard the gospel |
|
At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road |
|
Glory hallelujah, I'm saying glory, glory hallelujah |
|
Hey, hey, glory, glory hallelujah, glory, glory, glory |
|
And they sing come ye sinners, lost and hopeless |
|
Lord, I was hopeless heaven knows |
|
Something got a hold of me, something got a hold hallelujah |
|
When I heard the gospel |
|
At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road |
|
When I heard the gospel |
|
At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road |
|
Glory, glory hallelujah, glory, glory hallelujah |
