歌曲歌詞
Saints and sinners come one come all
(Have a little revival)
Losers winners answer my call
"Cause right now the tent's up
(Really it is)
The word's out
(Truly it is)
An' has been since the dawn
(Hear me tell ya)
The call's out
(Really it is)
An' we're 'bout
(Tendin' t'biz)
To git this meetin' on
Hear me tellin' you
Brothers n' sisters who want to repent
(That's right )
You'll find what you've been lookin'
For right here in the tent
Lend an ear an' you'll see
"Cause when it comes t'
Needin' savin' ain' nobody
Knows it better than me
I was so low that I know
That only a miracle like this is
The only way t' heavenly bliss
It's really the truth Lawdy I know it
I know it 'cuz I been taken through it
Now the spirits in me
An' allowed the Lord
T'win me I can testify to it
Sweet sweet the angel's song
Sweet the feelin' I been searchin' for
For ever so long
I never again imagine livin' life
Like I was livin' when I lived wrong
Git ready

Here they come the choir's all set
Be steady
