Lyrics They Call It Gospel Music - Russ Taff

They Call It Gospel Music

From the mountain came a simple song
So pure and sweet you had to sing along,
Full of faith and hope in a love that’s true and tried.
It spread like fire 'cross the heart of this land,
Cool as water to the desert sand.
I do believe this song is just an echo from the other side.
CHORUS
And they call it gospel music.
Somehow it gets inside and moves me With its 2 and 3 and 4-part harmony.
Something happens when I’m with my friends
Singin' 'bout a love that never ends,
Thankful that the good, good news is Why were singing gospel music!
Now this gospel’s more than form and style,
More than meeting ev’ry once in a while,
And a whole lot more feeling fine and talkin' 'bout the good old days.
The songs we love have lived for me and you,
Not because they’re old, because they’re true.
And I’ve proved it myself that serving Jesus really pays.
REPEAT CHORUS 2x
Thankful that the good, good news is Why were singing gospel music!
(2x)
Why were singing gospel music!
