Roots of Glory Road (Gospel-Blues & Chor)
I hear the old folks singing,
songs from a time half gone.
Their echoes rise like incense
on a Sunday early morn.
They taught us where we came from,
they showed us how to stand—
for every prayer and story
was a map back to our land.
Lead: Roots of Glory Road!
Choir: Hold on tight, don’t let it go!
Lead: Culture keeps our spirit steady—
Choir: Tradition makes the fire glow!
Lead: Roots of Glory Road—
Choir: Guide us to the truth we know!
Lead + Choir: Every song our elders taught
leads us where the good souls go.
I walked the fields of memory,
heard stories carved in time.
The way they spoke of honor
was a low and steady rhyme.
They said: “Child, the world is louder now,
but don’t forget your name—
for the road toward the Himmreich
is the road from which you came.”
Lead: Can you hear the ancient voices?
Choir: Hear them strong, hear them clear!
Lead: Can you feel the roots beneath you?
Choir: They’re the ground that keeps you here!
Lead: Oh Lord, our hearts remember—
Choir: What the elders used to sing!
Lead: Every tale and every teaching—
Choir: Leads us homeward to the King!
Lead: Roots of Glory Road!
Choir: Hold on tight, don’t let it go!
Lead: Culture keeps our spirit steady—
Choir: Tradition makes the fire glow!
Lead: Roots of Glory Road—
Choir: Guide us to the truth we know!
Lead + Choir: Every song our elders taught
leads us where the good souls go.
Choir: Glory Road… glory home… carry on… carry on…
Lead (soft): Through our culture, through tradition,
we find the path to glory’s throne.
