00:00Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound.
00:19Down came little David, said I,
00:25With his rockin' sling, said I,
00:31I don't want to meet him, said I,
00:38He's a dangerous man.
00:42Said I'll serve a man, rest a while, said I.
00:49Rock and roll, the blues, country,
00:52that is the root to all American music.
00:56I can't sit down, I can't sit down,
00:59I can't sit down, I can't sit down,
01:04I just got to heaven and I can't sit down,
01:07I can't sit down, I can't sit down.
01:10Anything that's bothering you,
01:12you sing a gospel song, you feel better.
01:14You can watch the sun, see how steady she runs,
01:17Don't let it catch you, if you're a gun down,
01:20Joshua, Joshua, the son of a nun,
01:23Think of the mighty, what you've done,
01:25God spoke to Joshua to put out,
01:28He said if you fight a battle, your soul stands still,
01:31He gave me a letter and he told me to go,
01:34Gospel music is what kept us going,
01:37gave us strength.
01:38I can't sit down, I can't sit down,
01:41I can't sit down, I can't sit down,
01:44I just got to heaven and I can't sit down.
01:48If there is anyone out there
01:51who still doubts that America is a place
01:54where all things are possible,
01:57tonight is your answer.
02:01I don't care who you are, how white you are,
02:03how black you are, you still hear the voice of God.
02:11Amen.
