GIFT OF TONGUES
(words and music by David E Johnston)

Every Sunday I’d go, and my family would follow
To the room on the hill, which the spirit would fill
And then they would stand at the front of the place
The cross would come down and they’d open their faith
There were snakes around them
They were coiled around them
They were speaking in tongues
There were snakes around them
Where was God around them?
They were speaking in tongues
So Jesus would wash all the sins of the lost
And my mother would cry as she looked to the sky
My ears could not hear, my eyes could not see
The blood of the Lamb would stream from my hands
There were snakes around them
They were coiled around them
They were speaking in tongues
There were snakes around them
Where was God around them?
They were speaking in tongues
