NC
I went to church last Sunday
NC
So I could sing and pray
NC
But something quite unusual
NC
Happened on that day
[Verse]
G Now church it started right on time C/G G C/G Just like it does without a doubt G And everything was all just fine C/G G D G Except when it came time to let us out G You know the preacher he kept preaching C/G G D G He told us I have one more thing to say G Children before you think of leaving C/G G D G You better think about the Judgment Day
[Verse]
G Now everyone got nervous C/G G C/G Because everyone was hungry too G And everyone was wondering C/G G D G What was the next thing he would do G And the preacher he kept preaching C/G G D G He said now I'll remind you if I may G You all better pay attention C/G G D G Or I might decide to preach all day
[Verse]
G And now everyone was getting so hungry C/G G That the old ones started feeling ill C/G G And the weak ones started passing out C/G G D G And the young ones they could not sit still G And the preacher's voice rose higher C/G G D G So I snuck up on the balcony G And I crept into the choir C/G G D G And I begged them brothers, sisters, help me please
[Verse]
G I said when I give you a signal C/G G I said when I raise up my hand C/G G Won't you please join with me together C/G G D G And praise the Lord I have a plan C/G And the preacher he kept preaching G D G Long is the struggle, hard the fight G And I prayed, Father please forgive me C/G G D G And then I stood up and with all my might I sang
[Chorus]
G C/G G To the Lord let praises be C/G G C/G D G It's time for dinner now let's go eat C/G G We've got some beans and some good cornbread C/G G D G And I listened to what the preacher said C/G G Now it's to the Lord let praises be C/G C/G D G It's time for dinner now let's go eat
[Verse]
G Yes and I did give a signal C G D G Yes and I raised up my hands C G And then joined with me the choir C G Yes every woman, child, and man They sang
[Chorus]
G C/G G To the Lord let praises be C/G G C/G D G It's time for dinner now let's go eat C/G G We've got some beans and some good cornbread C/G G D G And I listened to what the preacher said C/G G Now it's to the Lord let praises be C/G C/G D G It's time for dinner now let's go eat
[Verse]
G And the preacher he stopped preaching C G D G And a hush the church did fill C G And then a great white dove from up above C G Landed on the window sill
And the dove flew down beside him
C G And a fork appeared right in his hand C And with everybody watching C/G G D G The preacher ate that bird right there and then
And now everyone got really nervous
C G And the preacher he did start to glow C/G G And as we watched in disbelief C/G G D These were the words he spoke
[Bridge]
G He said now Mama's in the kitchen C/G G And she's been there all day C/G G I know she's cooking something good C/G G So let's bow our heads and pray And he sang
[Chorus]
G C/G G To the Lord let praises be C/G G C/G D G It's time for dinner now let's go eat C/G G We've got some beans and some good cornbread C/G G D G And I listened to what the preacher said C/G G Now it's to the Lord let praises be C/G C/G D G It's time for dinner now let's go eat
[Verse]
G And the moral of this story C/G G D G Children it is plain but true C G God knows if a preacher preaches long enough C G Even he'll get hungry too And he'll sing
[Chorus]
G C/G G To the Lord let praises be C/G G C/G D G It's time for dinner now let's go eat C/G G We've got some beans and some good cornbread C/G G D G And I listened to what the preacher said C/G G Now it's to the Lord let praises be C/G C/G D G It's time for dinner now let's go eat
