There once was a man, handsome and young He was a deacon, and the preacher's son He was full of faith, and said his prayers But one Sunday morning, the devil was there With his tongue in his mouth, and his eyes rolled back And the preacher screamed, "Our savior has come back!" So we laughed in church We all laughed in church We could not believe our eyes We were all terrified In our own Sunday best It was for our own good The preacher slipped on the pew The choir broke into Hallelujahs So we laughed in church [Breakdown] There was a time once when we did not believe in things we couldn't see [And now we all see] And it was all an act until we saw it with our own two eyes [And now we all see] Laying on the floor with our hymns in our hands and our mouths agape With a choir of angels singing Hallelujah In white robes and gold crowns with their hymnals and their pearl gates Turning back their heads to reveal their eyes, black So we laughed in church We laughed in church So we laughed in church
