Select language to translate this lyric
He wakes up early in the morninââ¬â¢
Puts on his only blue suit
He hasnââ¬â¢t quite mastered tyinââ¬â¢ his tie on
The way his sweet Sarah used to
Itââ¬â¢s been years since heââ¬â¢s talked to the good Lord
Heââ¬â¢s not sure he even knows how
But he wonââ¬â¢t be mowinââ¬â¢ the front yard today
He goes to church on Sundays now
No, he donââ¬â¢t know the words to ââ¬ËThe Old Rugged Crossââ¬â¢
But he sings them the best that he can
ââ¬ËCause he knows that his angel is up there in Heaven
And he sure wants to see her again
For thirty-one years they were married
She never could get him to go
Now heââ¬â¢s up bright and early
There by 9: 30 and sits on the very front row
And he bows his head with the members
And he shouts Amen good and loud
If only his Sarah could see him today
He goes to church on Sundays now
No, he donââ¬â¢t know the words to ââ¬ËThe Old Rugged Crossââ¬â¢
But he sings them the best that he can
ââ¬ËCause he knows that his angel is up there in Heaven
And he sure wants to see her again
His kids canââ¬â¢t believe how heââ¬â¢s changinââ¬â¢
They tell him their mamaââ¬â¢d be proud
And heââ¬â¢s always askinââ¬â¢ them all to go with him
He goes to church on Sundays now
No, he donââ¬â¢t know the words to ââ¬ËThe Old Rugged Crossââ¬â¢
But he sings them the best that he can
ââ¬ËCause he knows that his angel is up there in Heaven
And he sure wants to see her again
He woke up early this morninââ¬â¢
He goes to church on Sundays now
