The Sermon of Samson |
You read about ol' Samson you read about his birth |
Well, Samson was the strongest man that ever walked on earth |
Now, the Bible tells us down in ancient times |
That he killed ten thousand of those Philistines |
You see one day ol' Samson was walkin' alone |
And a-looked on the ground and spied an old jawbone |
And then he picked up that jawbone and swung it ‘round his head |
When that jawbone came down now ten thousand were dead |
If I had my way |
Well, if I had my way |
If I had my way in this wicked world |
I would tear this building down |
And if I had my way |
Well, if I had my way |
If I had my way in this wicked world |
I would tear this building down |
Hallelujah! |
Hallelujah! |
Delilah was a woman both fine and fair |
She was so good lookin' with her coal black hair |
That she drove poor Samson right out of his mind |
When he saw that woman of the Philistines |
And now that wicked Delilah she talked so fair |
That poor Samson revealed, «If I shaved my head |
If I shave my head just as clean as your hand |
My strength will be just like a natural man» |
If I had my way |
Well, if I had my way |
If I had my way in this wicked world |
I would tear this building down |
And if I had my way … |
Well, if I had my way … |
If I had my way in this wicked world |
I would tear this building down |
Hallelujah! |
Hallelujah! |
So, Samson shaved his head just as clean as your hand |
And his strength became just like a natural man |
And then they took ol' Samson they took him by surprise |
And they picked up a stick and then they punched out his eyes |
And then they took ol' Samson to the judgment hall |
And then they chained ol' Samson to that stone cold wall |
And then they left him there ‘til his hair grew brown |
And then the good Lord gave him strength to tear that building down |
And if I had my way |
If I had my way |
If I had my way in this wicked world |
I would tear this building down |
And if I had my way |
If I had my way |
If I had my way Great God, Almighty |
I would tear this building down |
