We give you praise, lord
We give you praise, lord
We give you praise, lord
For all you’ve done
Thank you

(Repeat…) For all you have done…
Lyrics:
Oh What A Time
Verse: We use to go to the old camp meeting to worship and praise God, everyone would be on one accord, we just came to serve the Lord. It really didn’t matter what clothes we had on, you just join right in testify or sing your song
Chorus: Oh what a time we had, praising God
Verse: Everyone would bring a covered dish, we fellowshipped and worshiped in the yard. We didn’t have a whole lot of money, but God made that little bit multiplied. Our mothers would sit us on the mourner’s bench, she’d look at you couldn’t even move an inch
Chorus: (Repeat Several Times) Oh what a time we had, praising God
2x When all God’s children, get together, what a time, what a time, what a time. We’re going to sit down by the banks of the river, what a time, what a time, oh what a time
We’re going to sit down (repeat several times)
Sit Down
Lyrics:
Chorus 1:
(It’s so hard to get along),
(my Lord, it’s so…)
hard to get along,
hard to get along;
just can’t hardly get along.
Verse 1:
Hear me Master,
hear me while I’m knee bent and body bowed,
so many trials and tribulations,
but I’ll make it home somehow.
Chorus 2:
(My Lord, I’ve got to pray to get along),
(my Lord, I’ve got to…)
pray to get along,
pray to get along;
just can’t hardly get along.
Verse 2:
I’ve got enemies camped all around me,
trying to make it down here on my own,
every tear that I shed way down here,
it ain’t nothing but my train fare home.
Chorus 3:
(My Lord, you got to cry to get along),
cry to get along,
cry to get along;
just can’t hardly get along,
just can’t hardly get along.
Chorus 4:
(Ooh)
Ooh, ooh,
ooh, ooh, ooh.
ooh, ooh, ooh.
Chorus 1
Vamp:
We’re gonna make it.
We’re gonna make it.
Lyrics:
As I let my mind go back
I can see the little wooden church
Sitting by the railroad tracks
Just a little shabby ole place
We used to sing Amazing Grace
Talking ’bout a good time
Oh yes, a mighty mighty good time
Someone would put up a tent
In an open field
(you know what else)
Folks would come from miles around
Going over rocks and rivs
Very little money was raised
But so many souls were saved
Talking ’bout a good time
Oh yes, a mighty mighty good time
(You know what,
I can see ole Deacon Johnson
over in the corner when his soul caught
on fire.. y’all can help me sing this)
I love Jesus!
I love Jesus!
I love Jesus!
Yes I do
None but the righteous
None but the righteous
None but the righteous
Shall see God
(By then my Big Mama be happy… tears running down
her face, she slowly get up and raise her hand
and say something like this)
I know I got religion
I know I got religion
I know I got religion
Yes I do!
(We got one more y’all here come a momma
on the mother’s board, she got happy y’all
and I can hear her say Rev I got something to say!)
Take me to the water
Take me to the water
Take me to the water
To be baptized
You know what
Just a little shabby ole place
We used to sing Amazing Grace
Talking ’bout a good time
Oh yes!
A mighty mighty good time!
