Rejubilation with some celebration beginning
Total rejection to lies and deception and sinning
Sinners take key
For the life that you lead is deceiving
Nothing replaces a man
That embraces believing, no!
People take heart
It’s the time to be sport
To be honest
Total reunion
There’s one last communion upon us
Sinners take the key
For the life that you lead is deceiving
Nothing replaces a man
That embraces believing, no!
(You know I’m betting, I’m betting on Jesus)
I’m betting on Jesus, I’m hoping
I’m hoping hell freezes
I’m hoping it just freezes
The devil, I’m talking ’bout the devil
Oh oh oh, Oo Oo Oo
As for the children
God bless and God will
They’d know sorrow
(Sorrow)
Share the confusion
And life’s disillusion tomorrow
(Tomorrow)
Sinners take key
For the life that you lead is deceiving
Nothing replaces a man that embraces believing, no!
(You know I’m betting)
I’m betting on Jesus
I’m hoping, I’m hoping hell freezes
I’m hoping, I’m hoping it just freezes the devil,
Get down on the devil
Hey Jubilation with some celebrating beginning
Total rejection to lies and deception and sinning
Sinners take key
For the life that you lead is deceiving, yeah!
Nothing replaces a man
That embraces believing, no!
Jubilation, jubilation, jubilation
I said jubilation
Oh oh oh, (hey, jubilation)
I need it now(Hey Jubilation)
Hey, Jubilation
I’m gonna have a great jubilation…
Get some celebration
(Hey Jubilation)
Lemme hear you say
Lemme hear you say
Yeah!
