and now Chris, if [Am] you can, stay [G] within reason of the camera.
[D] They know my track record.
Well, you're still on stage.
Yeah.
[G] Oh, but Lord, that felt good to me.
Won't you?
Don't, don't.
[D] _ [E] Won't you go?
[G] One more time?
I don't know.
[D] I think you could do that one more time.
Amen.
How about it?
[N] You know, this song is probably one of our most requested songs.
We recorded this song a little, almost four years ago.
Since then, there's been a lot of groups record this song.
The [F#m] Magruder's, they, in fact, Carol wrote [C#] this song, [B] recorded it, did a fine job on it.
[F#] The Cathedral's recorded this song.
[B] It went number one for them.
But, honey, ain't none of them can sing it like me. _
[F#] And I don't mean that ugly either.
This song, Hallelujah, thrills my heart every time I sing it because it's so true.
Give me the key.
Well, if I had hope for me
Come on, people.
This whole [C#] world down here alone
Would be covered with trouble
[G#m] We'd have no [F#] place to go
But how many of you believe
When you met this man called Jesus
I've _ [B] _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
[B] been living, just started living
I've [F#] _ not been strange [C#] my direction
I've been washed [F#] away [G#m] home
[F#] I'm a new [B] born believer
_ It's a holy [F#] feeling
_ My love [C#] might get brighter
Dead might get brighter
Just [F#] started living
[C#m] Well, [F#]
[C#] it's a good life
Dead's a good life
I just [F#] started living
[A] _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
Give him a round of [E] applause for praise.
He means the [N] world.
Amen.
Thank you.
