The world needs a tune that it can hum
The world needs a guitar that it can strum
The world needs a melody that it can sing, sing, sing, sing
Let's all sing together
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore together
The world needs a bell that it can chime
Chime, chime, chime, chime, chime, chime
The world needs a drum to keep the time
World needs a melody it can sing, sing, sing, sing
Let's all sing together
Gonna lay down my burden down by the riverside together
The world needs a reason to clap its hand
World needs a leader for its band
World needs a melody that it can sing, sing, sing, sing
Let's all sing together
Give us that old time religion
Give us that old time religion together
In the sweet, give us that old time religion
Gonna lay down my burden
In the sweet, give us that old time religion
Gonna lay down my burden together
