Lyrics
When skies were dark came Noah’s ark
Amen
When lions roared came Daniel’s lord
Amen
Lord helps those who pray
And on judgement day
If you believe he shall receive
Amen
Chorus:
When you’re down and out
Lift up your head and shout
“There’s gonna be a great day”
Angels in the sky
Promise that bye and bye
There’s gonna be a great day
Gabriel will warn you some early morn
You will hear his horn rooty tootin’
It’s not far away
Hold up your hands and say
“There’s gonna be a great day”
Performance
