STANDIN' ON THE NAME

STORY 'BOUT DAVID LITTLE SHEPHERD BOY
WENT TO FIGHT THE GIANT WITH HIS SLING SHOT TOY
GOLIATH GOT OFFENDED
DREW OUT HIS SWORD
BUT THAT SLING SHOT WAS A HOT SHOT
IN THE HANDS OF THE LORD

BROTHERS SHADRACK, MISHACK & ABEDNIGO
WERE TOLD "BOW DOWN BOYS OR IN THE FIRE YOU GO"
THEY SAID "NEBI, YOU CAN'T SCARE US
WITH YOUR NASTY OL' FLAME
'CAUSE THE FIRE WON'T BURN YOU
WHEN YOU'RE STANDIN' ON THE NAME

STORY 'BOUT A RICH MAN,
LIKED TO SIT AND COUNT HIS MONEY
KEPT IT ALL TO HIS SELF,
WOULDN'T HELP ANYBODY
DIDN'T DO HIM TOO MUCH GOOD
WHEN ALL WAS SAID AND DONE
HE CRIED "HEY, BROTHER LAZARUS
CAN I HAVE A DRINK OF WATER
WON'T YOU RUN AND TELL MY FAMILY
THAT HELL AIN'T SO MUCH FUN

SEE BRO. PETER FILLED UP WITH FAITH AND HOPE
SAID "LORD CALL TO ME,
I'LL JUMP RIGHT OUT OF THIS BOAT
THE MESSAGE IS SO CLEAR
TO EVERY SON AND DAUGHTER
LET ME FILL YOU WITH MY FIRE
I'LL HAVE YOU DANCIN’ ON THE WATER

HEY THAT'S JUST A FEW STORIES
FROM A BOOK I KNOW
IN GOOD TIMES OR BAD TIMES
IT'S A GOOD PLACE TO GO
IT'S THE TRUTH IT NEVER CHANGES
IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME
IT'S THE STORY ABOUT JESUS
AND THE POWER OF HIS NAME
