Lyrics
The world needs a tune that it can hum
The world needs a guitar that it can strum
The world needs a melody that it can sing, sing, sing, sing
Let’s all sing together
In the sweet bye and bye
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
Together
The world needs a bell it can chime
Chime, chime, chime, chime, chime, chime
The world needs a drum to keep the time
The world needs a melody it can sing, sing, sing, sing
Let’s all sing together
Gonna lay down my burden
Down by the river side
To give
The world needs a reason to clap it hands
The world needs a leader for it’s band
The world needs a melody that it can sing, sing, sing, sing
Let’s all sing together
Give us that old time religion
Give us that old time religion
Together
give us that old time religion
Gonna lay down my burden
(In the sweet) give us that old time religion
Gonna lay down my burden
Together
