Two years
That's how long it's been
We haven't been able to gather like this y'all for
Two years
That's how long it's been
But I'm so glad like David said
When they said unto me
Let us go
Into the house of the Lord
And even if I gotta show up with a mask over my nose
God's been so good
Somebody throw your hands up and just say that
So good
Somebody say bishop, they told me you was in ICU
They told me you was on life support
I was struggling to breathe but
I stand here tonight, I didn't die
So good
Is there anybody else in the building
Say COVID tried but it couldn't kill me
One more time, so
So good
Whoa, woo
I felt God responding, say it again
So good
