Good Ole Gospel Sing

Kelly Garner/Laura Treat

CHORUS

I need a Good Ole Gospel Sing

Give me that old time religion

Dinner on the ground, pass the plate around

Stting out under those trees

One day we'll be with Jesus

And we'll stand before the King

Lifting every voice

In a Good Ole Gospel Sing

VERSE 1

There was a time back in those good ole days

When my grandpa traveled around

He’d go to a gospel sing

They’d ask singers to come on down

All sittin’ in the class on the front four pews

With a friend who could harmonize

They’d lift those songs to heaven

They’d let those praises rise

CHORUS

I need a Good Ole Gospel Sing

Give me that old time religion

Dinner on the ground, pass the plate around

Stting out under those trees

One day we'll be with Jesus

And we'll stand before the King

Lifting every voice

In a Good Ole Gospel Sing

VERSE 2

Now a good ole gospel sing

Was an all day long affair

Where everybody met to praise the Lord

With hands raised up in the air

The potluck was a holy feast

Outside on the tables by the church

The song rang out till the afternoon

Until every voice was heard

CHORUS

I need a Good Ole Gospel Sing

Give me that old time religion

Dinner on the ground, pass the plate around

Stting out under those trees

One day we'll be with Jesus

And we'll stand before the King

Lifting every voice

In a Good Ole Gospel Sing

BRIDGE

Give me that old time religion

Give me that old time religion

Give me that old time religion in my soul

From the old Stamps-Baxter & Benson book

Right down to the

Tennessee-Vaughan

Singing thru those shaped-note books

They’d shout & carry on

They’d carry on

MOD CHORUS

I need a Good Ole Gospel Sing

Give me that old time religion

Dinner on the ground, pass the plate around

Stting out under those trees

One day we'll be with Jesus

And we'll stand before the King

Lifting every voice

In a Good Ole Gospel Sing

TAG

One day we'll be with Jesus and we'll stand before the King

Lifting every voice in a Good Ole Gospel Sing
