Preachin', Prayin', Singin'

Preachin', prayin', singin' everywhere

Shoutin' the praises of His love and care

All of God's children sing together there

Preachin', prayin', singin' down on the public square

I was a stranger there, intent upon my way

But when I saw the crowd, I had the urge to stay

I heard a welcome voice, biddin' me to come and share

Their preachin', prayin', singin' down on the public square

Preachin', prayin', singin' everywhere

Shoutin' the praises of His love and care

All of God's children sing together there

Preachin', prayin', singin' down on the public square

I felt so much at home, amid the happy throng

That came from far and near to praise His name in song

To lay their burdens down, forget their every care

And have an old time meetin' down on the public square

Preachin', prayin', singin' everywhere

Shoutin' the praises of His love and care

All of God's children sing together there

Preachin', prayin', singin' down on the public square

Now as I journey on, think back o'er the day

I am convinced within, these folks have found a way

To put their hearts in song, just prayin' on this prayer

And leave the doorbell ringin' down on the public square

Preachin', prayin', singin' everywhere

Shoutin' the praises of His love and care

All of God's children sing together there

Preachin', prayin', singin' down on the public square

Preachin', prayin', singin' down on the public square
