American Gospel

Four songs at the front then we sit
The first one has to be fast
Stand and greet so the band can retreat
To the green room, I hear there's food too
Man, I suck
Totally fricked that note up
Hope God's not too sad
But that was great, spirit was really moving today
A bunch of hands were raised

Check your heart but look the part
You know when to stop and start
You know when to turn it on
Lift a shout and raise your hands
After all this is the promised land

I'm coming down from the wall
With no one to break my fall
I used to stand so tall
And now I'm thinking that
I'm coming down that mountaintop
Like a week away at camp
And my mom is here with the van, sure had fun
Thank God this gospel is so American

Ask the Lord and you shall receive an abundance
Except for some folks
They just don't have what it takes
It takes a small faith, and a free state
Build the wall so wide and tall
No one can get in at all
To my American gospel
God forbid you question it
Else your faith is childish
Else you get how you doin' calls

I'm coming down from the wall
With no one to break my fall
I used to stand so tall
And now I'm thinking that
I'm coming down that mountaintop
Like a week away at camp
And my mom is here with the van, sure had fun
Thank God this gospel is so American

Take a seat or take a stand
Pledge allegiance to the lamb
Of my American gospel
Buckle up open your eyes
The wolves are never satisfied, satisfied

I'm coming down from the wall
With no one to break my fall
I used to stand so tall
And now I'm thinking that
I'm coming down that mountaintop
Like a week away at camp
And my mom is here with the van, sure had fun
Thank God this gospel is so American
Thank God this gospel is so American
Praise God this gospel is so American
