flock stood up with the vicar
It was Sunday, just about noon
The clapper rang the bell in the steeple
The Church doors opened
and filled with people
The altar lights started to flicker
the flock stood up with the vicar
Singing the hymns with vigor
their hands raised up High In the air
and their arms swaying side to side
Gentle rocking to the rhythm of the hymns
Singing lord forgive us of our sins.
