Aretha Franklin - Good News lyrics

[Intro] Extra, extra Read all about it Extra, extra We heard the good news [Verse 1] We've come this far by faith Pick up your pace and don't you be late I'm here to tell you about the good news There's something about the path that we choose Wisdom has built this house now Integrity will bring your pride out If you know how to pray the situation out You'll get an answer, and there ain't no doubt [Chorus] Monday, we held it together and Wednesday, we had stormy weather and Friday, we prayed it all better And Sunday, we heard the good news [Verse 2] He won't stop blessing you Look here, what He'll do Is keep testing you And a beggar's no less than you 'Cause one day it could be you So get your folks together for some church Some good music, prayer, and service won't hurt Even if you don't like the preacher There's bound to be a thing or two he can teach you [Chorus] [Verse 3] Deceit is in the heart of them who imagine evil Righteousness is the fruit of the tree of all people And if you want to live your life upright Pray that the Lord will hold up the light What you need is love on your side The power of love won't be denied I feel comfortable giving you this advice Don't make the same mistake twice [Chorus] [Verse 4] These are the greatest days of our test of time We need to be walking with a made-up mind Walk by faith, not by sight Then all your battles, you know He will fight If the sky changes colors there's so many ways This world's going to be a better place some day If love and unity, you just believe Then all your blessings I know you'll receive [Bridge] Glory to God in the Highest Glory, Glory, Glory Jesus, man who walked on water Jesus, He's alright, He's alright [Chorus]
