Lyrics Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin

Good News

Extra, extra

Read all about it

Extra, extra

We heard the good news

We've come this far by faith

Pick up your pace and don't you be late

I'm here to tell you about the good news

There's something about the path that we choose

Wisdom has built this house now

Integrity will bring your pride out

If you know how to pray the situation out

You'll get an answer, and there ain't no doubt

Monday, we held it together and

Wednesday, we had stormy weather and

Friday, we prayed it all better

And Sunday, we heard the good news

He won't stop blessing you

Look here, what He'll do

Is keep testing you

And a beggar's no less than you

'Cause one day it could be you

So get your folks together for some church

Some good music, prayer, and service won't hurt

Even if you don't like the preacher

There's bound to be a thing or two he can teach you

Monday, we held it together and

Wednesday, we had stormy weather and

Friday, we prayed it all better and

Sunday, we heard the good news

Deceit is in the heart of them who imagine evil

Righteousness is the fruit of the tree of all people

And if you want to live your life upright

Pray that the Lord will hold up the light

What you need is love on your side

The power of love won't be denied

I feel comfortable giving you this advice

Don't make the same mistake twice

Monday, we held it together and

Wednesday, we had stormy weather and

Friday, we prayed it all better

And Sunday, we heard the good news (Repeat)

These are the greatest days of our test of time

We need to be walking with a made-up mind

Walk by faith, not by sight

Then all your battles, you know He will fight

If the sky changes colors there's so many ways

This world's gonna be a better place some day

If love and unity, you just believe

Then all your blessings I know you'll receive

Glory to God in the Highest

Glory, Glory, Glory

Jesus, man who walked on water

Jesus, He's alright, He's alright

Monday, we held it together and

Wednesday, we had stormy weather and

Friday, we prayed it all better

And Sunday, we heard the good news (Repeat)
