Lyrics:
Every time I sing, I sing for the Lord
Glory, glory, glory amen
The holy ghost keeps this cold heart warm
Glory, glory, glory amen
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, worthless fuckers, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, worthless fuckers, hallelujah
And everyone who lives, lives in fear of the Lord
Glory, glory, glory amen
And anyone who don't ain't gonna live too long
Glory, glory, glory amen
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, worthless fuckers, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, worthless fuckers, hallelujah
Yes, I do believe in what I cannot see
I'm gonna go down, drown myself in glory
Yes, I do believe in what I cannot see
I'm gonna go down, drown myself in glory
Hey and don't go telling lies with your eyes on the Lord
Glory, glory, glory amen
And tap your Sunday shoes to these gospel-hardened blues
Glory, glory, glory amen
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, worthless fuckers, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, worthless fuckers, hallelujah
Yes I do confess, there's wicked thoughts within my breast
Glory, glory, glory amen
But I won't lose to sin like my wicked mother did
Glory, glory, glory amen
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, worthless fuckers, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, worthless fuckers, hallelujah
Yes, I do believe in what I cannot see
I'm gonna go down, drown myself in glory
Yes, I do believe in what I cannot see
I'm gonna go down, drown myself in glory
