Title: Pray for the Fish
Post by: mamapo on September 09, 2004, 03:22:28 AM
I'm doing further exploration of this site and finding new things all the time....like this Christian music section!  :)    I'm a huge fan of all kinds of Christian music - from full Vivaldi and Handel  to Jars of Clay,  and Randy Travis!

I picked up a Randy Travis CD some time ago, and it has become one of my family's favorites (especially my husband's.)   It has the song on it referred to in another thread of this section called "Three Wooden Crosses".   The name of the CD is "Rise and Shine".

It's all Christian music sung by the country singer Randy Travis and I had no idea he sang stuff like that.  Apparently, the "Three Wooden Crosses" song was named song of the year at  the 2003 Country Music Association Awards!  I thought that was awesome.

Anyway...there's another song on the CD that just had us howling with laughter.  It's an old timey sounding song, and the title of it is "Pray for the Fish."   If you need a smile for today, here are the words:


PRAY FOR THE FISH

Everybody gathered where the river runs wider at the edge of town
to see if that Eddie Lee Vaghn baptism was really gonna go down.
Folks bet hard earned  money that water wouldn't change a thing.
They set the odds at 100 - 1 his soul would never come clean.
Then the preacher said people take a moment or two
There's something we need to do.

CHORUS:   Pray for the fish.  They won't know what's coming when the sin
starts rolling off the likes of him.
Lord, be with 'em.  They ain't done nuthin.
Please, won't you leave 'em just a little bit of room to swim?
Pray for the fish.

Well the preacher ducked him under that cool clear water, then he did it again.
Eddie came up yellin'," Lord in heaven, hallelujah! I'm a brand new man!"
Well the water got to bubblin', sky got to rumblin'.  and the thunder backed up the chior.
The fish started jumpin'  it was like they were swimmin', in a lake of fire.
Then Eddie's momma stepped outta the crowd.
And started yellin' out loud:

Chorus

He said everybody cross your fingers,
and fold your hands.
Pray for ol' Eddie,
but before we say Amen.
Pray for the fish.

Lord, be with 'em. They ain't done nothin'.
Please won't you leave 'em just a little bit of room to swim.
Pray for the fish.

Lord, pray for the fish.
