Rock n' Roll Preacher

When I was young

My life was rock and roll music

Just diggin' the wonderful sounds

I'd get home from school and when

I'd finished my lessons

I'd listen to music 'til the sun came around

I'd sit by the hour and pound my old piano

And pick out the chords to the songs

I heard on the air and on

American Bandstand

Just learning the words

And then a'singing along

But who ever thought

I'd be a rock and roll preacher

Instead of just singing the blues

Who ever thought

I'd be a rock and roll preacher

Singing my song

So you could hear the good news

Now that I free my heart is filled with the gladness

That comes when a life has been changed

The song I now sing has a different ring yeah

The lyrics have meaning, but the tune is the same

But I want you to know, I still love rock and roll music

But now I have something to say

I'll sing you my song and maybe you'll sing along

We'll make us a noise

They'll hear in Heavenly places

Who'd ever thought I'd be a rock and roll preacher

Instead of just singin' the blues

Who'd ever thought I'd be a rock and roll preacher

Singin' my song

So you can hear the good news

Who'd ever thought I'd be a rock and roll preacher

Instead of just singin' the blues

Who'd ever thought I'd be a rock and roll preacher

Singin' my song

So you can hear the good news
