Paroles de la chanson Good News par Aretha Franklin
Extra, extra
Read all about it
Extra, extra
We heard the good news
We've come this far by faith
Pick up your pace and don't you be late
I'm here to tell you about the good news
There's something about the path that we choose, y'all
Wisdom has built this house now
Integrity will bring your pride out
If you know how to pray the situation out
You'll get an answer, and there ain't no doubt
Monday, we held it together and
Wednesday, we had stormy weather and
Friday, we prayed it all better and
Sunday, we heard the good news, yeah yeah
He won't stop blessing you
Look here, what He'll do is keep testing you
And a beggar's no less than you
'Cause one day it could be you
So get your folks together for some church
Some good music, prayer, and service won't hurt, y'all
Even if you don't like the preacher
There's bound to be a thing or two he can teach you
Monday, we held it together and
Wednesday, we had stormy weather and
Friday, we prayed it all better and
Sunday, we heard the good news, yeah
Deceit is in the heart of them who imagine evil
Righteousness is the fruit of the tree of all people
And if you want to live your life upright
Pray that the Lord will hold up the light
What you need is love on your side
The power of love won't be denied
I feel comfortable giving you this advice
Don't make the same mistake twice
Monday, we held it together and
Wednesday, we had stormy weather and
Friday, we prayed it all better and
Sunday, we heard the good news, yeah
Monday, we held it together and
Wednesday, we had stormy weather and
Friday, we prayed it all better and
Sunday, we heard the good news
These are the greatest days of our test of time
We need to be walking with a made-up mind
Walk by faith, oh, not by sight
Then all your battles, you know He'll fight
If the sky changes colors there's so many ways
This world's going to be a better place some day
If love and unity you just believe
Then all your blessings I know you'll receive
Glory to God in the Highest
Glory, glory, glory
Jesus, woo yeah, man who walked on water, y'all
Jesus, He's alright, He's alright
Monday, we held it together and
Wednesday, we had stormy weather and
Friday, we prayed it all better and
Sunday, we heard the good news
Monday, we held it together and
Wednesday, we had stormy weather and
Friday, we prayed it all better and
Sunday, we heard the good news
Monday, we held it together and
Wednesday, we had stormy weather and
Friday, we prayed it all better and
Sunday, we heard the good news
