Church Bell Getback

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Lord, I been tryin’ To keep my hands still Turn the other cheek And swallow that pill We want peace, yes we do We pass the plate around But some hearts got a drum That won’t sit down [Pre-Chorus] So tell me now Where the line is drawn I’m full of mercy But I don’t stay soft for long [Chorus] Lord, when do we get back? (get back) Lord, when do we get back? (get back) We love the peace, amen But we guard our own Lord, when do we get back? (get back) Lord, when do we get back? (get back) If you send me in the dark I’ll bring my light home [Verse 2] Mama taught me grace Daddy taught me steel Hands can build a table Hands can make a shield I don’t crave the fire I just know the road When the valley gets cold I can carry the load [Pre-Chorus] So call my name When the smoke rolls low I won’t start the trouble But I won’t let my people go [Chorus] Lord, when do we get back? (get back) Lord, when do we get back? (get back) We love the peace, amen But we guard our own Lord, when do we get back? (get back) Lord, when do we get back? (get back) If you send me in the dark I’ll bring my light home [Bridge] If the night gets deep And the shadows lean I’ll walk through the valley With a prayer on my sleeve Not for rage, not for pride Just to stand where I’m sent If I have to go low Let it be to lift what bent [Chorus] Lord, when do we get back? (get back) Lord, when do we get back? (get back) We love the peace, amen But we guard our own Lord, when do we get back? (get back) Lord, when do we get back? (get back) If you send me in the dark I’ll bring my light home [Outro] Oh, we singing for peace Oh, we standing at the door Lord, when do we get back? (get back) And what are we here for?
