Lyrics

(Verse 1)
In a little white church by the cottonwood trees
The sound of salvation comes drifting on the breeze
With voices raised high, and hearts so sincere
We’re singing about Jesus, loud and clear
(Pre-Chorus)
The banjo’s a-humming, the clap’s in time
A story of grace in every rhyme
From rugged hills to crimson clay,
Southern Gospel Music sweeps us away
(Chorus)
Oh, hallelujah, lift your voice and shout
Praising our Savior, that’s what it’s all about
With a sweet harmony ringing through the air
Jesus walks beside us, always there
(Verse 2)
Through trials and storms, when the night feels long
We find our strength in an old-time song
“Amazing Grace” and “I’ll Fly Away,”
Lighting up the path to a brighter day
(Pre-Chorus)
The fiddles are weeping, the tambourines play
A melody of hope that’ll never fade
From riverbank bends to winding streams,
We’re singing about Jesus, chasing our dreams
(Chorus)
Oh, hallelujah, lift your voice and shout
Praising our Savior, that’s what it’s all about
With a sweet harmony ringing through the air
Jesus walks beside us, always there
(Bridge)
When the preacher calls, and the choir sings low
The Spirit moves, and the tears will flow
A hand-clapping, foot-stomping jubilee
Jesus sets, lost souls free
(Chorus)
Oh, hallelujah, lift your voice and shout
Praising our Savior, that’s what it’s all about
With a sweet harmony ringing through the air
Jesus walks beside us, always there
(Outro)
So gather around, friends, let the good news ring
With Jesus in our hearts, forever we’ll sing
Southern Gospel’s the sound that’ll always stay
Praising our Lord ‘til the break of day
