Old Church Basement

(Album: Old Church Basement - 2021)

I don't see anything wrong with the lights or stages
I even love it when the crowd gets loud singing out God's praises
But every now and then it can get a little complicated
So I remember when I was in that old church basement, singing

Hallelujah is all I need
When I think of your goodness and your love for me
Oh, the joy of my salvation
Is coming back to me
It's just an old hallelujah with a new melody

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

We got together every Wednesday night
About thirty teenagers
My friend Josh bought a cheap guitar and barely knew how to play it
He wasn't putting on a show, wasn't well known, wasn't trying to be famous
But we sure touched heaven in that old church basement

Hallelujah is all I need
When I think of your goodness and your love for me
Oh, the joy of my salvation
Is coming back to me
It's just an old hallelujah with a new melody

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Great is thy faithfulness Lord unto me
It's just an old hallelujah with a new melody
And I once was blind but now I can see
It's just an old hallelujah with a new melody
Over the mountains and the sea Your river runs with love for me
An old hallelujah with a new melody
Shout to the Lord all the earth let us sing
It's just an old hallelujah with a new melody

Hallelujah is all I need
When I think of your goodness and your love for me
Oh the joy of my salvation
Is coming back to me
It's just an old hallelujah with a new melody
It's just an old hallelujah with a new melody

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Halle, Yahweh
Halle, Yahweh
Halle, Yahweh
Halle, Yahweh
Halle, Yahweh
Halle, Yahweh
Halle, Yahweh
Halle, Yahweh
Halle, Yahweh
Halle, Yahweh
Halle, Yahweh
Halle, Yahweh
Halle, Yahweh
Halle, Yahweh
Halle, Yahweh

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Hallelujah is all I need
When I think of your goodness and your love for me
Oh, the joy of my salvation
Is coming back to me
It's just an old hallelujah with a new melody
It's the same hallelujah that the elders sing
And it's the only hallelujah I will ever need
