Lyrics: Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah! Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah! Jordan's river is chilly and cold, hallelujah! But it warms the human soul, hallelujah! This old world is a mighty big place, hallelujah It got Satan all over its face, hallelujah Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah! Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah! They put Daniel in the lion's den, hallelujah And he walked right out again, hallelujah The reason them felines permitted that, hallelujah, Was that Daniel had no fat, hallelujah Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah! Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah! Did you hear what old Jonah said, hallelujah When the world thought he was dead, hallelujah I was taking' me a ride, hallelujah In that big old whales inside, hallelujah Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah! Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah! Old man Noah built an ark, hallelujah Worked from dawn 'til after dark, hallelujah When he left for foreign shores, hallelujah Had a big family but had no oars, hallelujah Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah! Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah! They nailed Jesus to the cross, hallelujah But his faith was never lost, hallelujah So christian soldiers off to war, hallelujah Hold that line in Arkansas, hallelujah Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah! Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah! Joshua at Jericho, hallelujah Alabama's next to go, hallelujah So Mississippi kneel and pray, hallelujah Some more buses on the way, hallelujah Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah! Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah! |
