Selah

Right about seven Mama got the call

Sonny boy was calling home from Montreal

Now Mama always said he was a libertine

But he bought a ring and put it on his Josephine

And now Mama say Selah, Selah

Everybody lift their voice and raise the praise

Selah, Selah

God, He always working in mysterious ways

Once upon a time there was a mean old man

Used to fall asleep beside a garbage can

Then somebody said he met the Holy dove

Now you never met someone so filled with love

And Mama say Selah, Selah

Everybody lift their voice and raise the praise

Selah, Selah

God, He always working in mysterious ways

Little girl they thought would never walk again

She had to spend the week in bed when she turned ten

Then one summer day she said: I feel all right

Now they're lining up to see that lady dance tonight

And Mama say Selah, Selah

Everybody lift their voice and raise the praise

Selah, Selah

God, He always working in mysterious ways
