"Angel Band (Hallelujah Version)" lyrics - TYLER CHILDERS

[Intro:]
Hallelujah
Jubilee
Hallelujah
Jubilee

He stands behind the pulpit
He's callin' out a line
Responds to congregation
Just a little ways behind
Echoes down the streets of gold
Through the Pearly Gates
Dribbles o'er the Jordan
And it goes on by the banks

He's rattlin' a Werther's
On his dentures in the pew
He's holdin' down the bass
It's a little out of tune
But his heart is in the hymnal
And that's all a boy can do
Make a joyful sound
'Til the rest have come to roost

[Chorus:]
Hallelujah, jubilee
I can hear the angel band
I was blind, but now I see
And I'll jump right in amongst 'em
When I reach the glory land

She's shoutin' in the aisle
She's shakin' somethin' fierce
Feels so good to be here
After all these faithful years
Just took a walk with Jesus
Just touched his nail-scarred hands
Didn't even bother her
That he ain't a blue-eyed man

[Chorus:]
Hallelujah, jubilee
I can hear the angel band
I was blind, but now I see
And I'll jump right in amongst 'em
When I reach the glory land

[Instrumental break]

There's Hindus, Jews, and Muslims
And Baptists of all kinds
Catholic girls and Amish boys
Who've left their plows behind
Up there in the choir
Singin' side by side
Wonderin' why exactly
They've been fussin' the whole time

[Chorus:]
Hallelujah, jubilee
I can hear the angel band
I was blind, but now I see
And I'll jump right in amongst 'em
When I reach the glory land

[Outro:]
Hallelujah
Jubilee
Hallelujah
Jubilee
I can hear
The angel band
Hallelujah
