He killed Goliath
And shouted for joy

There are sinners in hell
For shooting dice

Hallelu

“I Got Shoes”

I got a cross,
You got a cross,
All of God's children got a cross
When I get to Heaven, gonna lay down my cross
I'm gonna shout all over God's Heaven
Heaven, Heaven
Everybody talkin' 'bout Heaven ain't goin' there
Heaven, Heaven
Gonna shout all over God's Heaven

I got shoes,
You got shoes,
All of God's children got shoes
When I get to Heaven, gonna put down my shoes
I'm gonna walk all over God's Heaven
Heaven, Heaven
Everybody talkin' 'bout Heaven ain't goin' there
Heaven, Heaven
Gonna walk all over God's Heaven

I got a song,
You got a song,
All of God's children got a song
When I get to Heaven, gonna sing a new song
I’m gonna sing all over God's Heaven
Heaven, Heaven
Everybody talkin' 'bout Heaven ain't goin' there
Heaven, Heaven
Gonna sing all over God's Heaven

Sing all over God’s Heaven
Sing all over God’s Heaven
