Face

O'what a smilling face
O'what a down cast face
O'what a happy face
O'what an unhappy face
O'what a glad face
O'what a mad face
O'what a friendly face
O'what a fury face
O'what a fortunate face
O'what a depressing face
O'what a beautiful face
O'what an offensive face
O'what an impulsively face
O'what a repulsively face
O'what a felicitous face
O'what a hideous face
O'what a lovely face
O'what a griefly face
O'what a joyous face
O'what an anger face

God

He's just like Delta Airline,
He's ready when you are.
He's just like dial soap,
He's give you that all around clock protection.
He's just like American Express
He's ready when you are.
He's just like Maxwell coffee,
He's good to the last drop.
He's just like Coca Cola,
He's the real thing.

Walk

Walk your walk
Talk your talk
Dot your I
Cross your T's
Hitdog will hallow
Have gun will travel

Dance

They dance at rhythmic up and down
They move quickly side by side.
They tell the meaning of in an understandable term
Oh what judgment of circumstance.

You

When you pray,
You are talking to God
When you read your bible,
God is talking to you
When you meditate,
The Lord listens to you
When you testify,
You are talking for God
