THE BAND PLAYED
‘HOW GREAT THOU ART’
Words and Music by Shimeon
Preacher’s preaching blasphemy and lying through their teeth
Money made out of righteousness, sinner sleep on the street
Teachers teach security, while others weep
Tell you that faith is all you need
And the bell’s were ringin’ the day grew dark
The preacher was preaching, the band played ‘how great thou art’
"How great thou art"
They say forget the reformation and the writing on the wall
They say you can inherit salvation, break one law and break em all
For we are born again, of an uncorrupted seed
Love is all we need
And the bell’s were ringin’ the day grew dark
The preacher was preaching, the band played ‘how great thou art’
"How great thou art"
When something’s crooked can it be straightened out
When something’s gone forever there’s not much to laugh about
Shake it up baby, dance and do not weep
They say the pope is all we need
And the bell’s were ringin’ the day grew dark
The preacher was preaching, the band played ‘how great thou art’
"How great thou art"
They say the city is fallen from the sky
Our evil generation, their ‘worm will never die’
Weep with me swiftly, shout and do not speak
Saying ‘He knows just what you need’
And the bell’s were ringin’ the day grew dark
The preacher was preaching, the band played ‘how great thou art’
"How great thou art"
"Let him who is unjust, let him be unjust still"
"Let him who is righteous, let him be righteous still"
Let him who steals, let him be judged a thief
I tell you the truth is what we need
And the bell’s were ringin’ the day grew dark
The preacher was preaching, the band played ‘how great thou art’
"How great thou art"
