965. Coming Up the Road

1. When David danced before the Lord,
The ark was coming up the road;
His wife despised him in her heart;
The ark was coming up the road.

Refrain
It’s coming, hallelujah!
The ark is coming up the road;
It’s coming, hallelujah!
The ark is coming up the road.

2. I do believe without a doubt—
The ark is coming up the road—
God’s children have a right to shout—
The ark is coming up the road.
Refrain

3. Sing on, pray on, we’re gaining ground;
The ark is coming up the road;
The pow’r of God is coming down;
The ark is coming up the road.
Refrain
