lyrics

In my Father's house
There are many rooms
In my Father's house
There are many rooms
I don't know when we'll get there but
I hope we get there soon
In my Father's house there are many rooms

Brother won't talk to sister
Cuz of the country that she's from
Brother won't talk to brother
Cuz he's speaking in tongues
Sister won't talk to sister
Cuz of the clothes that she's got on
Lord I pray--that you'll take us home soon

Sister won't talk to brother
Cuz his church has got a pope
Sister won't talk to sister
Cuz of some story the preacher told
Brother won't talk to brother
How many grudges can you hold?
Lord I pray--that you'll take us home soon

Brother won't talk to brother
Cuz of the color of his skin
Brother won't talk to brother
Oh I think it's a sin
Sister won't talk to sister
Cuz of something she once did
Lord I pray--that you take us home soon

I say my prayers
And I'm singing my saviour's songs
I go to church
And I try to do my part
But if he decide to save me
Sure ain't nothing that I've done
Lord I pray, that you
Take us all home soon

When I'm there I'll join the choir
Sing hymns and spirituals
Play guitar to praise and worship
And dance to the drums
Oh I don't know who will get there
With man it's impossible
Lord I pray--that you take us all home soon.

Zach is one of the classiest and most talented indie musicians I've ever. He used to play at my church sometimes. One of my favorite artists to listen to hands down. James Metelak
