Ain’t-a That Good News
I got a crown up in-a that kingdom,
Ain't-a that good news!
I got a crown up in-a that kingdom,
Ain't-a that good news!
I'm-a gonna lay down this world,
gonna shoulder up-a my cross.
Gonna take it home-a to my Jesus,
Ain't-a that good news!
I got a robe up in-a that kingdom,
Ain't-a that good news!
I got a robe up in-a that kingdom,
Ain't-a that good news!
I'm-a gonna lay down this world,
gonna shoulder up-a my cross.
Gonna take it home-a to my Jesus,
Ain't-a that good news!
My Lord, What a Morning
You’ll hear the trumpet sound.
My Lord, what a morning.
You’ll hear the sinnah moan.
My Lord, what a morning.
You’ll hear the Christian shout.
My Lord, what a morning.
When the stars begin to fall
Begin to shine, Lord!
Great Day
Oh, great day! Great day, the righteous marching;
Great day! God's gonna build up Zion's walls!
Great day! Great day, the righteous marching;
Great day! God's gonna build up Zion's walls!
I got a brother in-a that kingdom.
I got a sister in-a that kingdom.
I got a Savior in-a that kingdom.
I got a mother in-a that kingdom.
Oh ain’t-a that good news
On-a that great day!
Great day, Lord
Oh ain’t-a that great day!
