Praise the Lord and Send Me the Money

[00:06.75] I'm happy you can be happy too
[00:11.43] If you praise the Lord and send me the money
[00:16.04] That's what Jesus wants you to do
[00:23.64] Late one night while watching Columbo
[00:29.03] I fell asleep till quarter past three
[00:33.04] Just like a vision I thought I was dreaming
[00:37.15] I heard the voice of a man on TV
[00:41.35] He said ...
[00:43.12] I'm happy you can be happy too
[00:47.75] If you praise the Lord and send me the money
[00:55.23] That's what Jesus wants you to do
[01:01.43] I sat straight up and reached for my checkbook
[01:04.94] Trembling with guilt took my bic pen in hand
[01:09.47] I wrote out the figures a one and four zeros
[01:13.74] Went out and mailed it with a note to that man
[01:17.87] I said praise the Lord I'm sending the money
[01:23.18] I surely wanna be happy like you
[01:26.64] Praise the Lord I'm sending the money
[01:31.24] If that's what Jesus wants me to do
[01:36.68] I woke up late for work the next morning
[01:41.36] I could not believe what I'd done
[01:45.54] Wrote a hot check to Jesus for ten thousand dollars
[01:49.85] And my bank account only held thirty-one
[01:54.56] I got a second job at a gasoline station
[01:59.86] I'm saving my money to pay what I owe
[02:05.83] I don't get much sleep cause I stay up late watching
[02:08.86] All of the folks on the Lord's TV show
[02:13.05] He said ...
[02:18.02] I'm happy you can be happy too
[02:22.62] If you praise the Lord and send me the money
[02:25.77] That's what Jesus wants you to do
[02:31.52] Praise the Lord I
