The Apostolic Band

by

Wayne A. Hicks, Sr.

Here on earth, I love to sing about My Savior,
And spread the word God gives me in my song,
I’ll sing until my name gets called up yonder
When Jesus takes me home where I belong!
But until then I hope you’ll just bear with me,
I know I’m not the greatest singer in the land,
So, I’ll make my joyful noise until that morning,
When I’ll be singin’ with the Apostolic Band!

(chorus)
And we’ll have James and John on guitar,
There’s Andrew playin’ bass,
And Matthew on a pearl white baby grand!
With Peter singin’ lead, and Paul in perfect harmony,
And I’ll be back there in the chorus,
And we’ll all be singin’ praises,
To the Leader of the Apostolic Band!

Well, it’s been years since I was Called into His Service,
Since God began to give me words to sing,
And it’s been more fun than I could have imagined,
So, I’ll never cease to let His praises ring!
But someday soon, my time on earth will all be over,
And then I’ll reach up to take that nail-scarred hand,
For all these years on earth were just rehearsal,
For when I’ll be singin’ with the Apostolic Band!
