Lyrics
Says, you can watch the sun, say, how steady she run
Don't let her catch you with the work undone
Joshua, Joshua, the son of a nun
Great God remind, won't you stop the sun
God spoke to Joshua to do thy will
He said, "if you fight the battle, the sun stand still"
He gave me a letter and he told me to go
Gave me a hug and he told me to blow
And if I blow my lungs away
I will get them back in a come day
I wanna get to Heaven, gonna pull on the shoes
Walk around the Heaven and spread the news
I got a news, I got a news
Good news, good news
I belong to the band, hallelu
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I belong to the band, hallelu
What kind of band you talking about
Talking about that union band
I belong to the band, hallelu
And when I get to Heaven, gonna sit right down
Ask my Lord for my starry ground
I belong to this band, hallelu
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I belong to the band, hallelu
Talk about me as much as you please
Talk about you down on my knees
I belong to the band, hallelu
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I belong to the band, hallelu
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I belong to the band, hallelu
What kind of band you talking about?
(Talking about that Christan band)
I belong to the band, hallelu
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I belong to the band, hallelu
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I belong to the band, hallelu
I belong to the band, hallelu
I belong to the band, hallelu
I belong to the band, hallelu
I belong to the band, hallelu
I belong to the band, hallelu
I belong to the band, hallelu
