Were The Salt of the Earth by The Rance Allen Group Lyrics

[Chorus]
(We are the salt of the Earth)
(A bright light shining in a very dark world)
(While He's gone to prepare a place)
(We are the salt of the Earth)

[Verse 1]
Well, now, well, now let me tell you
We must stand up when the others sit down
We got to try to smile when others wear a frown
Sometimes you're gonna find it so hard to do
But remember, it's all left up to me and you

[Chorus]
(We are the salt of the Earth)
Lord, hear me say it
(A bright light shining in a very dark world) In a dark world
(While He's gone to prepare a place)
Say it y'all
(We are the salt of the Earth)
[Verse 2]
We got to help the lost and alone
We got to hip them to what it is that's going on
We got to bring sin to a screeching halt
Hey, now, 'cause we're the salt of the Earth

[Chorus]
(We are the salt of the Earth)
Ooooh, yeah
(A bright light shining in a very dark world) In a dark world, a dark world
(While He's gone to prepare a place)
Let me tell y'all
(We are the salt of the Earth) Yes, we are, now

[Ad-lib]
Oooh, everybody lemme hear ya get down, sayin' ungh
I'm sayin' something 'bout that feelin'

[Verse 3]
Let's sit down and reason, and I'll tell you why
Cities on the rampage because you and me just walk on by
We got to stand up and fight sin with all our might, oh, yeah
'Cause we're the salt of the Earth

[Outro]
(We are the salt of the Earth)
Tell 'em, y'all, tell 'em, y'all
(A bright light shining in a very dark world) Dark world, a dark world
(While He's gone to prepare a place)
(We are the salt of the Earth) We are the salt of the Earth
