Angel Band (Hallelujah Version)

[Intro]

Hallelujah

Jubilee

Hallelujah

Jubilee

[Verse 1]

He stands behind the pulpit

He's callin' out a line

Responds to congregation

Just a little ways behind

Echoes down the streets of gold

Through the Pearly Gates

Dribbles o'er the Jordan

And it goes on by the banks

[Verse 2]

He's rattlin' a Werther's

On his dentures in the pew

He's holdin' down the bass

It's a little out of tune

But his heart is in the hymnal

And that's all a boy can do

Make a joyful sound

'Til the rest have come to roost

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, jubilee

I can hear the angel band

I was blind, but now I see

And I'll jump right in amongst 'em

When I reach the glory land

[Verse 3]

She's shoutin' in the aisle

She's shakin' somethin' fierce

Feels so good to be here

After all these faithful years

Just took a walk with Jesus

Just touched his nail-scarred hands

Didn't even bother her

That he ain't a blue-eyed man

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, jubilee

I can hear the angel band

I was blind, but now I see

And I'll jump right in amongst 'em

When I reach the glory land

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]

There's Hindus, Jews, and Muslims

And Baptists of all kinds

Catholic girls and Amish boys

Who've left their plows behind

Up there in the choir

Singin' side by side

Wonderin' why exactly

They've been fussin' the whole time

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, jubilee

I can hear the angel band

I was blind, but now I see

And I'll jump right in amongst 'em

When I reach the glory land

[Outro]

Hallelujah

Jubilee

Hallelujah

Jubilee

I can hear

The angel band

Hallelujah
