Keys to the Kingdom
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When Pilate was after Jesus
they could not get to him
they made a pact with Judas
so that they could turn him in,
I got the keys to the kingdom
and the world can't do me no harm
Oh yeah
I got the keys to the church house
and the world can't do me no wrong
Oh yeah.
They took him to that hill
they brought his sister in
they conspired against him
to make original sin
I got the keys to the kingdom
and the world can't do me no wrong
Oh yeah
I got the keys to the church house
and the world can't do me no harm
Oh yeah
I was on his left
Devil on his right
he passed those keys to Pharisees
way out of sight
I got the keys to the kingdom
and the world can't do me no harm
Oh yeah
I got the keys to the church house
and the world can't do me no wrong
Oh yeah
and with those keys
I can open lots of doors
devil on my left hand side
he ain't there no more
I got the keys to the kingdom
and the world can't do me no wrong
Oh yeah
I got the keys to the church house
and the world can't do me no harm
Oh yeah
