[Intro]
NC
I went to church last Sunday
NC
So I could sing and pray
NC
But something quite unusual
NC
Happened on that day
[Verse]
Now Gchurch it started right on time
C/GJust Glike it does without a doubt C/G
GAnd everything was all just fine
ExC/Gcept when Git came time to Dlet us oGut
GYou know the preacher he kept preaching
He C/Gtold us GI have one more Dthing to saGy
GChildren before you think of leaving
You C/Gbetter Gthink about the JDudgment DGay
[Verse]
GNow everyone got nervous
C/GBecause Geveryone was hungry too C/G
GAnd everyone was wondering
C/GWhat Gwas the next thing Dhe would Gdo
GAnd the preacher he kept preaching
He C/Gsaid now GI'll remind you Dif I mGay
GYou all better pay attention
C/GOr I Gmight decide to prDeach all dGay
[Verse]
GAnd now everyone was getting so hungry
C/GThat the Gold ones started feeling ill
C/GAnd Gthe weak ones started passing out
C/GAnd the Gyoung ones they could Dnot sit stGill
GAnd the preacher's voice rose higher
C/GSo I Gsnuck up on the DbalconGy
GAnd I crept into the choir
And I C/Gbegged them Gbrothers, sisters, hDelp me plGease
[Verse]
GI said when I give you a signal
I C/Gsaid when GI raise up my hand
Won't C/Gyou please Gjoin with me together
C/GAnd Gpraise the Lord I Dhave a plGan
And the preacher he kept preaching C/G
GLong is the struggle, Dhard the fGight
GAnd I prayed, Father please forgive me
And C/Gthen GI stood up and with aDll my mGight I sang
[Chorus]
GTo the Lord C/Glet Gpraises be
C/GIt's Gtime for dinner C/Gnow Dlet's go Geat
We've got some beans and C/Gsome goGod cornbread
And C/GI Glistened to what the Dpreacher sGaid
Now it's to the Lord C/Glet Gpraises be
C/GIt's time for dinner C/Gnow Dlet's go Geat
[Verse]
GYes and I did give a signal
CYes and GI raDised up my Ghands
CAnd then Gjoined with me the choir
CYes Gevery woman, child, and man They sang
[Chorus]
GTo the Lord C/Glet Gpraises be
C/GIt's Gtime for dinner C/Gnow Dlet's go Geat
We've got some beans and C/Gsome goGod cornbread
And C/GI Glistened to what the Dpreacher sGaid
Now it's to the Lord C/Glet Gpraises be
C/GIt's time for dinner C/Gnow Dlet's go Geat
[Verse]
GAnd the preacher he stopped preaching
CAnd a Ghush thDe church did Gfill
CAnd then a Ggreat white dove from up above
CLanded Gon the window sill
And the dove flew down beside him
CAnd Ga fork appeared right in his hand
And Cwith everybody watching
The C/Gpreacher Gate that bird right Dthere and thGen
And now everyone got really nervous
CAnd Gthe preacher he did start to glow
And C/Gas Gwe watched in disbelief
C/GThese Gwere the words he Dspoke
[Bridge]
GHe said now Mama's in the kitchen
C/GAnd Gshe's been there all day
C/GI Gknow she's cooking something good
So C/Glet's Gbow our heads and pray And he sang
[Chorus]
GTo the Lord C/Glet Gpraises be
C/GIt's Gtime for dinner C/Gnow Dlet's go Geat
We've got some beans and C/Gsome goGod cornbread
And C/GI Glistened to what the Dpreacher sGaid
Now it's to the Lord C/Glet Gpraises be
C/GIt's time for dinner C/Gnow Dlet's go Geat
[Verse]
GAnd the moral of this story
C/GChildren Git is Dplain but Gtrue
CGod knows if Ga preacher preaches long enough
CEven Ghe'll get hungry too And he'll sing
[Chorus]
GTo the Lord C/Glet Gpraises be
C/GIt's Gtime for dinner C/Gnow Dlet's go Geat
We've got some beans and C/Gsome goGod cornbread
And C/GI Glistened to what the Dpreacher sGaid
Now it's to the Lord C/Glet Gpraises be
C/GIt's time for dinner C/Gnow Dlet's go Geat
