Strong Man Lyrics
Shirley Caesar
Lyrics
Verse 1:
There's a strong man in this house,
With my spiritual eyes i can see.
Here's what this strong man
Is doing to my whole family:
He's got a grip on the feeble
And the spiritually blind;
Strong man you better leave here,
Because you're wasting your time.
Stong nan you gotta leave here,
Because you're wasting your time.
Verse 2:
There's a strong man in this house,
With my spiritual ears i can hear.
Everytime this strong man shows up,
It seems like love dissappears.
He's got a grip on your grandson,
He's holding on to somebody's daughter too;
But strong man you gotta get out of here,
Remember grace all of the children comes through you;
Strong man you gotta leave here,
Because you're wasting your time
Chorus:
Go, go,
By the power of the holy ghost.
