GALILEE ROAD
 
Marcus Hummon
 
Old black preacher in the pulpit
The city of angels burning ‘round
And he says, “I will still preach the good news
After this ol' Baptist church burns down...

‘Cause you don't know when the hour comes
And the Lord calls you home
And don't you know we're all walkin’
Down the Galilee road...”

CHORUS
Keep on movin'
A long ways to go
One step forward down the Galilee road
Keep on walkin'
A long ways to go
One step forward down the Galilee road

A young man lies in the crossroad
In a pool of his own blood
The angry city fell upon him
It all came down like a flood

She lifts his head as he lies dying
She whispers a prayer as his soul goes
Above the city of angels
And a ways on down the Galilee road

REPEAT CHORUS

Lord I am not an angel
With feet of clay and a heart of stone
But I will build a new city
Somewhere along the Galilee road

REPEAT CHORUS...
