Lyrics
Well, I promised the Lord that I would hold out, yeah yeah
(Hold out) hold out (hold out) come on y'all
You know, I promised the Lord that I would (hold out)
Until He meet me in Galilee
Oh-oh, mm, oh, mm, oh (ooh)
Hm-mm (ooh) mm (ooh)
Ooh-ooh (ooh) ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Mm, oh, ooh
Until He meet me ('til He meets me)
'Til He meets me ('til He meets me)
I'm gonna stay right here ('til He meets me)
I ain't going nowhere ('til He meets me)
You can't make me ('til He meets me)
Somebody said, I've already seen Zion ('til He meets me)
And I know what's waiting for me on the other side ('til He meets me)
'Til He meets me ('til He meets me)
Can I tell you a little story? ('til He meets me)
There was a young man by the name of Lamont ('til He meets me)
He was a football player ('til He meets me)
And Lamont's dad had dropped him off at the school
And said, "Lamont ('til He meets me)
After practice, when you put your gear up ('til He meets me)
I want you to wait for me
'Cause daddy's coming back at you" ('til He meets me)
So after practice, Lamont put his gear up ('til He meets me)
Went outside to wait on his daddy ('til He meets me)
While Lamont was waiting on his daddy, y'all ('til He meets me)
Some friends came by and said, "hey, Lamont ('til He meets me)
We're on our way home, but we're gonna go by a party ferry
But, uh, if you want to go with us
We'll drop you off" ('til He meets me)
Lamont said, "No, I'm going to wait on my daddy" ('til He meets me)
While Lamont was still waiting ('til He meets me)
Some women came by in the car ('til He meets me)
"Hey, Lamont ('til He meets me)
We're going your way, Lamont, you can ride with us, come on"
Lamont was like, uh, uh, but he remembered ('til He meets me)
He said, "No, I better wait on my daddy
Y'all go on, I'll catch you later" ('til He meets me)
It began to rain, mm ('til He meets me)
While Lamont was waiting on his daddy ('til He meets me)
A long, long stretch car came by ('til He meets me)
And said, "young man, it's raining out there ('til He meets me)
We don't know where you live, but if you hop in with us
And you can tell us where you live, and we'll take you on home"
('Til He meets me)
Lamont didn't only remember that his daddy said
Wait for him ('til He meets me)
But Lamont heard his daddy's words
When he said, "son ('til He meets me)
Don't ride with strangers", hm ('til He meets me)
Somebody's waiting on they father ('til He meets me)
And you're in a terrible storm ('til He meets me)
And the strangers done came back ('til He meets me)
But your heavenly father said, "my sheep ('til He meets me)
Who know my voice" ('til He meets me)
And the strangers ('til He meets me)
He said, "They will not follow" ('til He meets me)
Finally, Lamont daddy came
And he got on in the car, and he went home ('til He meets me)
Lamont said, "I'm glad I waited on you, daddy" ('til He meets me)
How many are waiting on your heavenly father? ('Til He meets me)
I'm gonna wait until He meet me ('Til He meets me)
If you're gonna wait on Him
Everybody say, 'til He meet me ('til He meets me)
The hell is falling but I'm gonna wait on ('til He meets me)
The hellhound was on my track, but ('til He meets me)
I'm gonna wait on ('til He meets me)
Until He meet me ('til He meets me)
Until He meets me in Galilee
And the church say, yeah!
Hm, can y'all help me sing one chorus of it?
Well, I promised the Lord, just alto
That I would (hold out) hold out (hold out)
Hold out (hold out)
You know, I promised the Lord
That I would (hold out)
Until He (meet me in Galilee)
I'll be back
