CHORUS PRAISE (tune: Glory Days [Springsteen])

I remember all the choruses we used to sing

when I was in my college days

We knew the right ways to sing to the Lord, yeah,

we knew how to praise

But these new songs they make no sense, yeah,

they’re just hard to sing

If they’d just go back to what we used to do,

His presence we’d be experiencing

Chorus praise, yeah, we did it right

Chorus praise, when those were the songs I liked

Chorus praise, glory days

Well, I visited the church I went to back then,

last summer on a trip out of town

Yeah, I ran across the guy who led worship back then,

he made the glory come down

Oh, we sat around and talked about the songs we sang, oh,

those songs were good

I asked, “You think we oughtta go back to the old stuff?”

He said, “You know I think we probably should!”

Chorus praise, yeah, we did it right

Chorus praise, when those were the songs I liked

Chorus praise, glory days

Well, I’m gonna go down to my local church and

hang around there ‘til noon

They’re gonna lead a bunch of songs I’ve never heard, and

I can’t get the tune

I’ll do my best to figure them out even

though I probably can’t

I wish we’d go back to the songs I know,

yeah, these sound like Gregorian chants

Chorus praise, yeah, we did it right

Chorus praise, when those were the songs I liked

Chorus praise, glory days
