When I Get to Galilee

Babylon is fallen can't you hear the children moan

I'm going to Chattanooga so I can rebuild my home

It's sackcloth and ashes, please forgive your child

I'm born to be a rounder

I'm born to be free and wild

I heard the angels singing

heard the messages to me

I hope they recognize my face

When I get to Galilee

I'm lying in these ashes

When will this all end?

If I bow down my head so far

will you free me from my sins?

I love everybody,

everybody born with Grace

I don't need to see heaven

but can I sleep beside it's gate?

I heard the angels singing

heard the messages to me

I hope they recognize my face

When I get to Galilee

At night I lay beside you

drifting on your sea

Hoping as you're sleeping

your dreams spill out on me

Tell me can I follow

or are you going it alone?

We're heading down that same road

no hurry to get home

I heard the angels singing

heard the messages to me

I hope they recognize my face

When I get to Galilee

I heard the angels singing

heard the messages to me

I hope you recognize my face

When I get to Galilee
