VS. 1
WE USED TO GATHER ROUND AN OLD UPRIGHT PIANO
DAD WOULD PLAY THE FLATTOP ON A GOOD OLD GOSPEL SONG
WE’D SING ALL THRU THE NIGHT AND WELL INTO THE MORNING
AND EVERYONE WOULD SING ALONG
AND HOW OUR HEARTS WERE BLESSED
LISTNIN’ TO THE MESSAGE THAT WE FOUND IN A GOSPEL SONG

CH.
THE STORY OF A KING WHO GAVE HIS LIFE TO SET MEN FREE
OF RESURRECTION MORNING WHEN HE ROSE IN VICTORY
AND GOLDEN STREETS OF HEAVEN WE WILL SOMEDAY WALK UPON
TO SEE OUR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES WHO’VE GONE ON
HOW OUR HEARTS WERE BLESSED
LISTNIN’ TO THE MESSAGE THAT WE FOUND IN A GOSPEL SONG

VS. 2
A SONG FOR EVERY SEASON, A STYLE FOR EVERY YEAR
WE’RE ALL SO VERY DIFFERENT IN THE SONGS WE LIKE TO HEAR
BUT IF THEY DON’T MOVE YOU CLOSER TO THE LORD
THEN THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG
BECAUSE IT MAKES SUCH A DIFFERENCE
WHEN YOU LISTEN TO THE MESSAGE YOU FIND IN A GOSPEL SONG
