Glory Hallelujah by Gary Rutz
I was raised a religious boy many years ago
That little country church comes back to mind
Every Sunday noon right after the meeting
Every family took a lunch down to the creek
Right after the prayin’ and the eatin’
Everybody there would begin to sing
Chorus:
Yeow we sang for Glory Hallelujah all day (*night) long
We sang for Glory Hallelujah, Lord, keep us strong
Verse 2
The middle of the week, we’d have another meetin’
All the faithful families would gather again
Some of us kids would sneak out during the preachin’
Run and play real quite under the stars
We could hear ‘em singin’ and talkin’ soul savin’
But if we got caught, our tails would be burnin’
Chorus: *(night)
Verse 3
I wish those days could come back again now
When I have kids of my own
But those days are probably gone forever
That’s this old world’s loss and nobody’s gain
Chorus
Wish they could hear ‘em singin’ Glory Hallelujah all day long
Wish they could hear ‘em singin’ Glory Hallelujah, Lord, keep us strong
I can hear ‘em singin’ Glory Hallelujah all day long
I can hear ‘em singin’ Glory Hallelujah, Lord, keep us strong
We need to hear ‘em singin’ Glory Hallelujah all day long
We need to hear ‘em singin’ Glory Hallelujah,
Lord, keep us strong
(fade)
Lord, keep us strong, Lord, keep us strong, Lord, keep us strong, Lord, keep us strong
