The Hillbilly Thomists
The Power and the Glory
Life's a little bit of sunshine
It's a little bit of cold rain
It's a little bit of red wine
It's a little bit of heartbreak
It's a vale of tears
And I'm bound by death
'Till my very last breath
And it ain't no joke
Though I don't lose hope
No need for revival
Just read the Bible
No need to be traumatized
You can just get baptized
No need for secession
Just go to confession
If you happen to sin
You can live again
[Chorus]
That's the Power and the Glory
Of the one true story
Every second, every hour
From the start of the day
To the end of time
It sustains my soul when I'm well and alive
Or sick in bed, or good and dead
I'll be fine
On down the line
Now I got a little fever
And I can't breathe right
In the day or at midnight
I shake with that cold fright
But even if I die tonight
It's still gonna be alright
I'm gonna see the light
And it's gonna be fine on down the line
[Chorus]
That's the Power and the Glory
Of the one true story
Every second, every hour
From the start of the day
To the end of time
It sustains my soul when I'm well and alive
Or sick in bed, or good and dead
I'll be fine
On down the line
So I'm treading in my old truck
Getting rid of my bad luck
Gonna stop doing old wrong
Gonna sing that new song
Don't need no high life
Don't need no old strife
Don't put off a hard fight
Just gonna get right
Now the One who made us
He's the One who can save us
He's got the whole of creation
In the palm of His hand
That's the real distinction and participated being
And the power of intinction if you know what that means
And I take my stand
In a holy land
So don't get lost
At any old cost
Don't take no byway
Just stay on that highway
Just keep moving forward
In the Spirit of the Lord
You'll be fine
On down the line
[Chorus (x2)]
That's the Power and the Glory
Of the one true story
Every second, every hour
From the start of the day
To the end of time
It sustains my soul when I'm well and alive
Or sick in bed, or good and dead
I'll be fine
On down the line
I'll be fine
On down the line
