Mahalia Jackson
Let the Church Roll On
[Chorus]
Let the church roll on
Let the church roll on
Let the church roll on
Let the church roll on
Let the church roll on
Let the church roll on
Let the church roll on
Let the church roll on
[Verse 1]
If a member in the church (If a member in the church)
And he won't do right (And he won't do right)
Tell me, what we gonna do? (Now, what shall we do?)
Let the church roll on (Roll, roll on)
If a singer in the choir
And she won't sing right
Tell me, what we gonna do? (Now, what shall we do?)
Let the church roll on (Roll, roll on)
[Chorus]
Let the church roll on
Let the church roll on
Let the church roll on
Let the church roll on
[Verse 2]
If a deacon in the church (If a deacon in the church)
And he won't do right (And he won't do right)
Tell me, what we gonna do? (Now, what shall we do?)
Let the church roll on (Roll, roll on)
If a preacher in the church (If a preacher in the church)
And he won't preach right (And he won't preach right)
Tell me, what we gonna do? (Here's what we will do)
We won't do that we'll just pray for him
And let the church roll on
[Outro]
(Roll on)
