Dianne Reeves - The Benediction (Country Preacher) Lyrics

Weary feet on a dusty road
Country preacher comes to save your soul

Just after day break on each Sunday morning
You could see women, men and children
Piling out of their homes in their Sunday, go to meetin' clothes


Making their way up that long steep hill to the house of the Lord
To get their hearts fixed and their minds regulated
Looking forward to hear the word brought down from on high
From the country preacher

Country preacher clears his throat
Say brothers and sisters, we are gathered here this mornin'
To give praise to The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost


Ah, mama's getting happy, grandma's fanning her face
'Cause, everybody's, everybody's losing all their weariness in this place
Oh, and the spirit flowed like a mighty river
And all anybody could say at the end of the day was
