From the mountain came a simple song
So pure and sweet you had to sing along,
Full of faith and hope in a love that's true and tried.
It spread like fire 'cross the heart of this land,
Cool as water to the desert sand.
I do believe this song is just an echo from the other side.
And they call it gospel music.
Somehow it gets inside and moves me
With its 2 and 3 and 4-part harmony.
Something happens when I'm with my friends
Singin' 'bout a love that never ends,
Thankful that the good, good news is
Why were singing gospel music!
Now this gospel's more than form and style,
More than meeting every once in a while,
And a whole lot more feeling fine and talking' 'bout the good old days.
The songs we love have lived for me and you,
Not because they're old, because they're true.
And I've proved it myself that serving Jesus really pays.
And they call it gospel music.
Somehow it gets inside and moves me
With its 2 and 3 and 4-part harmony.
Something happens when I'm with my friends
And they call it gospel music.
Somehow it gets inside and moves me
With its 2 and 3 and 4-part harmony.
