I know of sin by the things momma prayed
I know of heaven by the line at its gate
I know of truth and America's way
So come drink the water if you want to be saved
Don't drink the water if it's not from my stream
It's all still water if it's not flowing free
Don't drink the water at the watering hole
If you ain't got money, it can't save your soul
An'all God's people said amen
An'all God's people said amen
I know of sin by the things momma prayed
I know of heaven by the line at its gate
I know of truth and America's way
So come drink the water if you want to be saved
An'all God's people said amen
An'all God's people said amen
Nobody prays unless they lose a son
Don't believe in God till a war's to be won
I know of lies by the truth I've been told
The biggest one's that we're not getting old
It's not a sin if it don't make me cry
He's not the devil unless there's fire in his eyes
It ain't the ghost if it don't speak in tongue
It's not a victory 'till the battles been won
An' all God's people said amen
An' all God's people said amen
