A rolling Reverend
To reclaim God under a deep black sky
in these times the heavens may shake
keep one hand on the wheel
the other on the crucifix brother
a rolling Reverend
into the night we drive
sing, sing Hallelujah
to all the earthly creatures
camped under a full moon
O be wise and watchful
the Devil may take his care here
yes he may loiter in these dark lands
but freeze him out my brothers
like the church on a hill
be steadfast and true
and not bent and deceived
yes we go down into the lands
of the downtrodden and repentant
to bring the light
bring the light
bring the light
in these times the heavens may shake
keep one hand on the wheel
the other on the crucifix brother
a rolling Reverend
into the night we drive
sing, sing Hallelujah
to all the earthly creatures
camped under a full moon
O be wise and watchful
the Devil may take his care here
yes he may loiter in these dark lands
but freeze him out my brothers
like the church on a hill
be steadfast and true
and not bent and deceived
yes we go down into the lands
of the downtrodden and repentant
to bring the light
bring the light
bring the light

Nicely Done !

Keep On Keeping On…
And Bring The Light !
David
1 Onward Christian soldiers! Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. Christ, the royal Master, Leads against the foe; Forward into battle, See, His banners go!
Refrain: Onward, Christian soldiers! Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus, Going on before.
2 At the name of Jesus Satan’s host doth flee; On then, Christian soldiers, On to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver At the shout of praise: Brothers, lift your voices, Loud your anthems raise!
Refrain: Refrain: Onward, Christian soldiers! Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus, Going on before.
3 Like a mighty army Moves the Church of God: Brothers, we are treading Where the saints have trod; We are not divided, All one Body we— One in faith and Spirit, One eternally.
Refrain: Refrain: Onward, Christian soldiers! Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus, Going on before.
4 Crowns and thrones may perish, Kingdoms rise and wane; But the Church of Jesus
Constant will remain. Gates of hell can never ’Gainst the Church prevail; We have Christ’s own promise, Which can never fail.
Refrain: Refrain: Onward, Christian soldiers! Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus, Going on before.
5 Onward, then, ye people! Join our happy throng; Blend with ours your voices In the triumph song.
Glory, laud and honor Unto Christ, the King; This through countless ages Men and angels sing.
Refrain: Refrain: Onward, Christian soldiers! Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus, Going on before.
