hot august night
and the leaves hanging down
and the grass on the ground smellin’ sweet
move up the road to the outside of town
and the sound of that good gospel beat
sits a ragged tent
where there ain’t no trees
and that gospel group tellin’ you and me
it’s love brother love say
brother love’s traveling salvation show
pack up the babies and grab the old ladies
and ev’ryone goes ’cause everyone knows
brother love’s show
room gets suddenly still
and when you’d almost bet
you could hear yourself sweat he walks in
eyes black as coal
and when he lifts his face
ev’ry ear in the place is on him
starting soft and slow
like a small earthquake
and when he lets go
half the valley shakes
it’s love brother love say
brother love’s traveling salvation show
pack up the babies and grab the old ladies
and ev’ryone goes ’cause everyone knows
’bout brother love’s show
spoken sermon
brothers
i said brothers
now you got yourself two good hands
and when your brother is troubled you gotta reach out your one hand for him
cause thats what its there for
and when your heart is troubled you gotta reach out your other hand
reach it out to the man up there
cause thats what he is there for
take my hand in yours
walk with me this day
in my heart i know i will never stray
halle halle halle halle
halle halle halle halle
it’s love brother love say
brother love’s traveling salvation show
pack up the babies
and grab the old ladies and ev’ryone goes
i say love brother love say
brother love’s traveling salvation show
pack up the babies
and grab the old ladies and ev’ryone goes
love brother love say
brother love’s traveling salvation show
