Six Hours Away

Lyrics

[Intro] Six hours till the gathering begins Four twenty-five, let the celebration in Philadelphia, lift your voice and stand This victory is in the Lord's own hand [Verse 1] The coffee's hot, the jerseys are clean Green and midnight shine on every team Neighbors call from block to block Hope is ringing round the clock We brought our faith, we brought our song When the fourth quarter gets long No fear can make our spirit fall The Lord has been our strength through it all [Pre-Chorus] Can you feel that holy fire? Every heart is climbing higher When the hour arrives, we'll testify With praise rising up like a battle cry [Chorus] Six hours away, but the victory's near Four twenty-five, let the whole world hear Holy Ghost power, carry us through Green hearts lifted, faithful and true Six hours away, still we shout amen When the Eagles take flight, we rise again Hands up high, let the praises roll The Lord gives courage to every soul [Verse 2] From South Philly streets to the river bend Every faithful voice becomes a friend Grandmama's prayer by the kitchen door Says, "Stand with courage, then give some more" The drums keep time with a grateful chest We give our worry to the One who's best Whether the road is rough or bright We walk in faith into the night [Pre-Chorus] Can you feel that holy fire? Every heart is climbing higher When the hour arrives, we'll testify With praise rising up like a battle cry [Chorus] Six hours away, but the victory's near Four twenty-five, let the whole world hear Holy Ghost power, carry us through Green hearts lifted, faithful and true Six hours away, still we shout amen When the Eagles take flight, we rise again Hands up high, let the praises roll The Lord gives courage to every soul [Bridge] Leader: Who gives us strength? Choir: The Lord gives us strength! Leader: Who keeps us bold? Choir: The Lord keeps us bold! Leader: When kickoff comes? Choir: We'll stand as one! Leader: Philadelphia! Choir: The praise has begun! [Breakdown] Six hours! Choir: We are ready! Five hours! Choir: Hearts are steady! Four twenty-five! Choir: We lift the name! Every faithful voice! Choir: We bless the game! [Final Chorus] Six hours away, but the victory's near Four twenty-five, let the whole world hear Holy Ghost power, carry us through Green hearts lifted, faithful and true Six hours away, still we shout amen When the Eagles take flight, we rise again Hands up high, let the praises roll The Lord gives courage to every soul [Outro] Fly with courage, walk in grace Let the joy shine from this place Six hours away, our praise is strong At four twenty-five, we sing along Amen, amen, the victory's near Philadelphia, rejoice without fear
