Old Church Basement

I don’t see anything wrong with the lights or stages
I even love it when the crowd gets loud singing out God’s praises
But every now and then it can get a little complicated
So I remember when I was in that old church basement, singing

Hallelujah is all I need
When I think of your goodness and your love for me
Oh the joy of my salvation
Is coming back to me
It’s just an old hallelujah with a new melody

We got together every Wednesday night
About 30 teenagers
My friend Josh bought a cheap guitar and barely knew how to play it
He wasn’t putting on a show, wasn’t well known, wasn’t trying to be famous
But we sure touched heaven in that old church basement

Great is thy faithfulness Lord unto me
It’s just an old hallelujah with a new melody
I once was blind but now I can see
It’s just an old hallelujah with a new melody
Over the mountains and the sea your river runs with love for me
It’s just an old hallelujah with a new melody
Shout to the Lord all the earth let us sing
It’s just an old hallelujah with a new melody
