Over in Glory / New Swing by Che Apalache Lyrics

"Over in Glory"

[VERSE 1]
Over in Glory, Lord, what will there be?
But a joy everlasting as wide at the sea
I’ll lay down my burdens on earth here below
I’m destined for Glory, I’m ready to go

[VERSE 2]
I’ve followed the good word through heartache and woe
I’ve carried my burdens through long winter snows
But all this will vanish once I reach that land
And by my dear savior I finally stand

[VERSE 3]
Now that I’ve reached Glory, Lord, what did I find?
But a band of drunk angels singin’ and cryin’
Their words pierced the Heavens and split me in two:
“Son, even in Glory, you cain’t shake the blues!”

“New Swing”
(Dale vieja! This angel band’s about to rock and roll!)

[VERSE 1]
Things are looking hellish down on earth, dear
Down on earth below, Lord
Everybody’s trying to make their gravy
Ridin’ that train 45 ride ride

[VERSE 2]
Ridin’ that gravy train back on home
Sophisticated doofus in a fancy coat
The neighborhood’s a sinking while he guzzles and gloats
Lord, that kind of behavior no it surely won’t go
I said no! I said no no! My no no! Lord no!

[VERSE 3]
Bringing folks together is a better way (Better way)
Let your light shine through, Lord
Bringing folks together is the new swing
