Church - Live
Well I went to church last sunday So I could sing and pray There's something quite unusual that happened on that day
The church, it started right on time Just-a like it does without a doubt And everything was all just fine Except it came time to let us out
Y'know the preacher, he kept preachin' He told us, 'I have one more thing to say' Children, before you think of leaving You better think about the Judgement Day
And now, everyone got nervous Because, everyone was hungry too And everyone was wondering, What was the next thing he would do
And the preacher, he kept preachin' He said now 'I'll remind you, if I may You all better pay attention Or I might decide to preach all day'
Now everyone was getting so hungry that the The old ones started feeling ill And the weak ones started passing out And the young ones, they could not sit still
And the, the preacher's voice rose higher As I snuck up to the balcony And I crept into the choir And I begged 'em: 'brothers, sisters help me please'
I said when I give you the signal I said when I raise up my hands Won't you please join with me together Praise the Lord, I have a plan
The preacher, he kept preachin' Long is the struggle, hard the fight And I prayed, Father please forgive me And I stood up and with all my might I sang
To the Lord Praises be It's time for dinner now, let's go eat We got some beans and some good cornbread Now listen to what the preacher said (Now won't ya)
To the Lord Praises be It's time for dinner now, let's go eat
And so, and I did give the signal Yes and, and I raised up my hands Then joined with me the choir Every woman, child, and man, they sang
To the Lord Praises be It's time for dinner now, let's go eat We got some beans and some good cornbread Now listen to what the preacher said
To the Lord Praises be It's time for dinner now, let's go eat
And the preacher, he stopped preachin' And a hush, the church did fell And then a, a great white dove from up above Landed on the window sill
And the dove flew down beside him And a, a fork appeared right in his hand And everybody watchin' The preacher ate that bird right there and then
Now, everyone got really nervous The preacher, he did start to glow And as we watched on in disbelief These were the words he spoke: Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
I said, Mama's in the kitchen (yes she is) She's been there all day (all day) And I know she's cookin' something good So bow your heads and pray Take us home
She said To the Lord Praises be It's time for dinner now, let's go eat We got some beans and some good cornbread Now listen to what the preacher said
He said To the Lord Praises be It's time for dinner now, let's go eat
And the moral of this story And children, it is plain but true God knows, if a preacher Preaches long enough Even he'll get hungry too
And he'll say To the Lord Praises be It's time for dinner now, let's go eat We got some beans and some good cornbread Now, listen to what the preacher said
He said To the Lord Praises be It's time for dinner now, let's go eat We got some beans and some good cornbread Now, listen to what the preacher said
He said To the Lord Praises be It's time for dinner now, let's go eat We got some beans and some good cornbread Now, listen to what the preacher said
He said To the Lord (sweet Lord) Let praises be I got some beans (Hot sauce) And good cornbread (Woo)
Said to the Lord Let praises be (yeah) I got some beans, hot sauce And good cornbread Now listen to what the preacher said
I said To the Lord Praises be It's time for dinner now, let's go eat We got some beans and some good cornbread Now, listen to what the preacher said
He said To the Lord Praises be It's time for dinner now, let's go eat We got some beans and some good cornbread Now, listen to what the preacher said
He said To the Lord Praises be It's time for dinner now, Let's Go Eat
