Praise The Lord And Send Me The Money Lyrics - Bobby Bare

Praise the Lord, and send me the money 

I'm happy, you can be happy too 

If you praise the Lord, and send me the money 

That's what Jesus wants you to do 

Late one night while watchin' Columbo 

I fell asleep 'til quarter past three 

When just like a vision, I thought I was dreamin' 

I heard the voice of a man on TV 

He said, 

Praise the Lord, and send me the money 

I'm happy, you can be happy too 

If you praise the Lord, and send me the money 

That's what Jesus wants you to do 

I set straight up, and reached for my checkbook 

Tremblin' with guilt, took my Bic pen in hand 

I wrote out the figures of one and four zeros 

Went out and mailed it with a note to that man 

And I said, 

Praise the Lord, I'm sendin' the money 

I surely wanna be happy like you 

Praise the Lord, I'm sendin' the money 

That's what Jesus wants me to do 

I woke up late for work the next mornin' 

I could not believe what I had done 

Wrote a hot check to Jesus for ten thousand dollars 

And my bank account only held thirty-one 

I got a second job at a gasoline station 

I'm savin' my money to pay what I owe 

I don't get much sleep 'cause I stay up late watchin' 

All of the folks on the Lord's TV show 

Sayin', 

Praise the Lord, and send me the money 

I'm so happy, you can be happy too 

If you praise the Lord, and send me the money 

That's what Jesus wants you to do 

Praise the Lord, I'm sendin' the money
