Carry On Lyrics A little old lady went to talk to her preacher, this is what she had to say.
She said, "Some of our members have started this carrying on,
And acting in a very undignified way.
They've been saying Amen in the middle of the service,
Shouting out loud, and it's making me nervous.
Preacher, I've had about all I can take.
Please do something, for heaven's sake"
Well the preacher thought about it for a minute or two, about the way it used to be,
When the service just lasted for under an hour
Nothing counted for eternity.
You see, the choir used to sing and the people would stare.
The invitation came but the altar was bare.
So he said to the sister as he showed her to door, I'll do something, and that's for sure.
Well, the very next Sunday as he started his sermon,
This became his number one goal.
To remind the people of how it used to be
Before the Lord came and took control.
He said, Some of our members have started this carrying on
Lifting their voices and praising the Lord.
Others don't understand why you act this way,
But this is all I have to say
Carry on, brothers & sisters, carry on, misses & misters
You see it does not matter what other folks say or do.
Carry on because the Lord has been good to you.
You can praise the Lord and even raise your hands,
Shout Hallelujah and say Amen.
The church has been quiet for much too long,
Brothers and sisters, carry on
Now the Lord has opened up the windows of heaven
And his glory is filling this place.
The Spirit of the Lord is moving among the people,
There's a smile on each and every face.
So let the preacher preach and let the saints respond.
Get behind us Satan we are carrying on. Come on Church
Carry on, my brothers & sisters, it's alright to praise the Lord. Oh yes it is.
You see it does not matter what other folks say or do.
Carry on because God has been real good to you.
Well you can praise the Lord, somebody wave your hands,
Somebody shout Hallelujah and say Amen.
The church has been quiet for much too long,
Brothers and sisters, carry on
Carry on, my brothers & sisters, it's alright to praise the Lord. Oh yes it is.
You see it does not matter what other folks say or do.
Carry on if the Lord has been real good to you.
Well you can praise the Lord, somebody wave your hands,
Somebody shout Hallelujah and say Amen.
The church has been quiet for much too long,
Brothers and sisters, misses and misters, rom the front row to the balcony,
My brothers and sisters, why don't you carry on
