Lyrics
Long before that I was bonafide
Demons walkin' ?round the streets outside
Come-a-knockin' always at my door
Now I know what they were comin' for
Scratch and claw, scream and yell
Call my name and ring my bell
But the Holy Ghost sent me a sword
All because that day?
I listened to the Lord
Listened to the Lord
I listened to the Lord
Listened to the Lord
What ain't Truth, you know, is counterfeit
Words ain't nothin' but the half of it
They got idols up at City Hall
They want Righteousness to take the fall
But the writing's up there on the wall
My Messiah's gonna judge us all
So I'm signin' up to join the war
And when my General calls?
I'll listen to the Lord
Gonna listen to the Lord
Listen to the Lord
Listen to the Lord
David dusty in a desert land
Hidin' away from a tyrant's hand
He sang the blues and strummed that chord
And God said: play on Dave
He listened to the Lord
Listened to the Lord
He listened to the Lord
Listened to the Lord
I'm gonna listen to the Lord
Listen to the Lord
I'm gonna listen to the Lord
Listen to the Lord
