One, two
And a one-two-three-four
God said for the waking
Gonna show you the light
Dawn's about to be breaking
Gonna show you the light
Oh, I know you've been aching for the end of the night
Lift your eyes to the sky
Gonna show you the light
Ladies and gentlemen! (Gonna show you the light)
Prepare to bear witness (Gonna show you the light)
To that sanctified seeker of righteousness
Join the bold
And behold
The Reverend Jonas Nightingale!
Got something to show ya (Gonna show you the light)
A lifeline I'll throw ya (Gonna show you the light)
So, people, you know you better hold on real tight
Let it flow
Here we go!
I'm gonna show you
The light
Good evening, believers!
Are you ready for a miracle? (Show you the light)
Are you ready for wonders? (Gonna show you the light)
Then you, my friends (See the shining light)
Have come to the right place tonight (Here shining bright)
'Cause tonight we leave this world of sorrow and sin
And turn (turn)
And stand (stand)
And shun the darkness and step
Into the light (That's right)
Step into the light
Now, I know times are tough all over
(Sweetwater, town's name is Sweetwater)
But don't it seem like they're tougher still here
In Sweetwater
Now, I won't lie to you (Hehe, of course you won't)
Some of the folks in my own choir warned me that this town
Sufferin' from the drought
Is beyond hope
Beyond salvation
Some of them said we should just drive on by
Drive on by to the big city of Topeka
Topeka, Topeka, Topeka
With those fancy people in their fancy cars
(And their fancy arrest warrants)
That's right
But I said, "Hold on!" (Hold on)
Uh-uh! (Uh-uh!)
If anyone needs a revival
(Uh, can't afford a revival)
Deserves a revival
It's the good people of Sweetwater!
I promise you
We will be here for the next three nights
To walk with you
To help you move toward the light
The light of joy! (Joy)
The light of truth (Truth)
The light of love (Love)
So if you want us to take you
(We'll take you for all you're worth!)
Take you to heaven's gate
All you gotta do (All you gotta do)
All you gotta do (All you gotta do)
Is step
And turn
And lift your eyes
Step, step!
Into the light
Leave the gloom and darkness behind you
And with every stride
Cast aside your fears
And doubts and despair (Your doubts cast out, cast out and step)
Into the light
Where heaven's blessings can find you (Sing it, Ida Mae!)
Where a ray of grace warms your face and
Greet the shining new day
The shining new day
Oh folks, hallelujah, hallelujah!
Something amazing is happening!
Right now
Salvation is starting, gonna show you the light
The Lord's holy juices are just a-pumpin', a-pumpin', a-pumpin' in my veins!
Your crimes'll be pardoned, gonna show you the light
But before I can do the Lord's work
He needs a sign of y'all's faith
(Angel, start passing the basket)
Just put your whole heart in and your soul will ignite
Angel, take it down
The Lord needs a token that shows the love in your heart
Can you see? Guarantee
Gonna show you the light
Jesus!
(Okay, row D, seat three, daughter off her meds)
You're worried your sweet girl has fallen off her path and is slipping back into darkness
Yes, I am!
Trust in the Lord
Show her love
And he will light her way, hallelujah!
Who's next?
(Susie Raylove, G-6, no water for her farm)
Sister! Your crops are dying
Your well has run dry
That's right
Drought do not last forever
But salvation does, hallelujah!
(K6, alcoholic)
Step away from the bottle!
(K10, online poker)
Kick out your gambling
(C6, cheating insomniac)
Stop sleeping around and you will sleep at night
You want a job
A wife
A break
A life
Then give to the Lord and you shall receive
(All right, hit the old lady, ten o'clock. She's in our chair)
Can I have some quiet for our sister here?
(Step into the light)
Welcome, ma'am
What's your name?
Oh- Emma Schlarp (That's unfortunate)
God bless you, Emma
How long has it been since you've walked?
(About twenty minutes?)
What do you mean, walked? 'Cause I-
Too long to remember, huh (No-)
(Step into the light)
Emma, God's gonna make you a miracle tonight!
Lord, send your light through my hands
And allay the shadows that imprison everybody
Emma, let His radiance
Lift you up and stand
Yeah! (If your faith is strong enough)
Step! Oh yeah! (If you keep believing long enough)
Yes, sir! What is happening! (If you sing God's song enough)
Keep walking! Keep walking! (Then your faith will set you free)
Yeah! Oh Emma, get up and dance with me, dance with me, do a little jig
Come on! Yeah! It's a miracle! (Yes your faith will set you free)
Thank you, Jesus! Hallelujah!
Step into the light
Pass the hurt and heartache that hound you
And with head held high
Lose your pride and
Keep the darkness at bay
And as that light
Shimmers and shines
The presence of God (God's light is shining on every one of you)
On all He rebukes
He holds on tight (Yeah)
See how He shines
And you'll be free (I am a disco ball)
And you'll be His (So open your heart)
Ah
Give up your burdens and step into the light
Keep fighting the darkness, step on into the light
(So generous)
We're gonna end this with a song tonight (Thank you all for coming)
And before we're gone step on into
Step on into
The light
