Lyrics

There been slow, but there been sure, Hallelu, Hallelu There been slow, but there been sure!, Hallelu!, Hallelu! There been slow, but there been sure, When they come, come body, my soul Then you must have that true religion, Hallelu, Hallelu Then you must have that true religion, Hallelu, Hallelu Then you must have that true religion!, Hallelu!, Hallelu! Then you must have that true religion, True religion then your soul converted Then you must have that true religion, Hallelu, Hallelu Send for the doctor, then the doctor come, Hallelu, Hallelu Send for the doctor, then the doctor come!, Hallelu!, Hallelu! Send for the doctor, and the doctor come, Doctor said son can you save my son, That you would have that true religion, Hallelu, Hallelu Then you must have that true religion, Hallelu, Hallelu Then you must have that true religion!, Hallelu!, Hallelu! Then you must have that true religion, True religion then your soul converted Then you must have that true religion, Hallelu, Hallelu Mother was sittin' on the bedside cryin', Hallelu, Hallelu Mother was sittin' on the bedside cryin'!, Hallelu!, Hallelu! Mother was sittin' on the bedside tryin', Lord take my soul my son is dyin', That's when you have that true religion, Hallelu, Hallelu Son said mother don't you grieve and cry, Hallelu, Hallelu Son said mother don't you grieve and cry!, Hallelu!, Hallelu! Son said mother don't you grieve and cry, Know your son was born to die That's when I have that true religion, Hallelu, Hallelu Then you will have that true religion, Hallelu!
