作词 : Henderson, Hendricks, Mills | |
Saints and sinners, come one, come all | |
(have a little revival) | |
Losers, winners, answer my call | |
'cause right now the tent's up | |
(really it is) | |
The word's out - | |
(truly, it is) | |
An' has been since the dawn | |
(hear me tell ya) | |
The call's out | |
(really it is) | |
An' we're 'bout | |
(tendin' t'biz) | |
To git this meetin' on - hear me tellin' you | |
Brothers n' sisters who want to repent | |
(that's right!) | |
You'll find what you've been lookin' for right here in the tent | |
Cheryl's solo: | |
Lend an ear an' you'll see | |
'cause when it comes t' needin' savin' ain' nobody | |
Knows it better than me | |
I was so low that i know that only a miracle like this is | |
The only way t' heavenly bliss | |
It's really the truth, lawdy, i know it | |
I know it 'cuz i been taken through it | |
Now the spirits in me an' allowed the lord | |
T'win me, i can testify to it | |
Sweet, sweet the angel's song | |
Sweet the feelin' i been searchin' for | |
For ever so long | |
I never again imagine livin' life | |
Like i was livin' when i lived wrong | |
Git ready | |
(sing) | |
Here they come! the choir's all set | |
Be steady | |
(pray) | |
See the people fillin' them pews | |
Be willin' | |
(all) | |
To announce without a regret | |
It's thrillin'! | |
(day) | |
Tell the world the wonderful news | |
Folks are troopin' in from far 'n near | |
F' news that they can hardly wait to hear | |
They're nearly starved 'cause they're waitin' | |
For food for the soul, yeah | |
Starved 'cause they're waitin' for what will not grow old | |
Preacher's openin' up the book | |
He's gonna pause awhile an' take a look | |
'n then he'll start tellin' everyone | |
'jes how t' do, yeah | |
Start tellin' everyone jus' what's true, yeah | |
Sister emmy lou done gone t' shoutin' | |
An jumpin' 'cause she feels the spirit | |
The congregation's stompin' it's feet | |
An' everybody's movin' outta their seat | |
They really gonna get this meetin' on | |
An' praise the lord until the dawn | |
(yeah) - hear that preacher spread the word | |
(hear that preacher) | |
'cause its the greatest word you ever heard | |
He's our teacher | |
When he says 'i'm callin' sinners right now you hear? | |
I'm callin' sinners right to me' | |
When ol' satan grabs your soul | |
When he grabs you | |
It takes the lord's true word to break his hold, | |
Trouble nabs you | |
So i say, 'you got to listen mostly to me. | |
You got to listen closely.' | |
Don't let the devil catch y' nappin' | |
Gotta' keep the vigil every minute | |
Or the devil surely git you | |
'watch your step 'n how you act | |
Watch what you do | |
Mister scratch is here, an' that's a fact | |
He wants you too | |
If anyone can stop him, i can | |
That's why i'm the preacher man' | |
We hear the word | |
We hear your voice | |
We know there really isn't any other choice | |
Head f'heaven t'day | |
(we're on the gospel train) | |
We can show you the way | |
(relieve all strain) | |
Leave your cares and your woes | |
(yes!) | |
Heaven knows | |
(yes!) | |
Y' dodge that devil in his fine fancy clothes | |
(yes!) | |
Come git aboard | |
(we still got space) | |
Hear the word of the lord | |
(we saved your place) | |
Save your soul while y'can | |
(yes!) | |
Sinner man | |
(yes!) | |
Git on as fast as you can | |
(repeat) | |
You've heard the sermon sublime | |
Down south camp meetin' time! |
