G C G
Praise the Lord and send me the money
D7
I'm happy you can be happy too
G C G
If you praise the Lord and send me the money
D7 G
That's what Jesus wants you to do
C G
Late one night while watching Columbo
D7
I fell asleep till quarter past three
G C G
Just like a vision I thought I was dreaming
D7 G
I heard the voice of a man on TV
Repeat #1 He said ...
C G
I sat straight up and reached for my checkbook
D7
Trembling with guilt took my bic pen in hand
G C G
I wrote out the figures a one and four zeros
D7 G
Went out and mailed it with a note to that man
C G
I said praise the Lord I'm sending the money
D7
I surely wanna be happy like you
G C G
Praise the Lord I'm sending the money
D7 G
If that's what Jesus wants me to do
C G
I woke up late for work the next morning
D7
I could not believe what I'd done
G C G
Wrote a hot check to Jesus for ten thousand dollars
D7 G
And my bank account only held thirty-one
C G
I got a second job at a gasoline station
D7
I'm saving my money to pay what I owe
G C G
I don't get much sleep cause I stay up late watching
D7 G
All of the folks on the Lord's TV show
Repeat #1 He said ...
C G
Praise the Lord I’m sending the money
