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"
