St. Norbert

Music and Lyrics © 2016, 2018 Thomas B. Hedrick / Tom Hedrick Music - ASCAP

The people of the county seat have clearly gone astray.
They gossip on their telephones all day.
They banter at the coffee shop. They show off at the gym.

I’ll put on my bronze boots,
And I’ll stomp out sin.
I’ll be that lonely prophet from within.

On a wave of the spirit I’ll speak the truth.
A revival breakfast to make them move.
And we’ll testify to the heavenly host,
While we make communion over eggs and toast.
Coffee will serve as a sacred wine.
This wayward flock will fall in line.

And we’ll serve up the word, and a stack of cakes.
And their happy souls begin to shake.

The people of the city streets are tempted to the core.
Their pleasures lead to empty nevermore.
They spread their lies and blasphemies,
and lead the way to shame.

I’ll put on my bronze boots,
and praise the holy name,
and save them from their wretched, callous games.

On the wave of the spirit I’ll sound the horn.
With a driving beat we’ll be re-born,
And we’ll testify from the firmament,
That a savior’s grace is heaven sent.
The chorus swells,
and the bells will ring.
The newly saved will sweetly sing.

We’ll serve up a sound, just like those 78’s.
And the massive ground will surely shake.
