Budgie - The New Messiah lyrics

[Verse:] Gospel Music In the 40's the Holy Spirit fell on Mahalia Jackson And she picked up her pen and she wrote “Move On Up A Little Higher” And in the 60's the Holy Spirit fell on Edwin Hawkins And he told us “Oh, Happy Days” In the 70's the Holy Spirit fell on Reverend James Cleveland And he took Gladys Knight and the Pips song And rearranged it to give the true mean and that's “Jesus is the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me” And in 2013 the Holy Spirit rained down The Holy Spirit showered down on a young man Budgie The Holy Spirit showered down and in such a magnificent way Yntil he rested his road and picked up his pen and he wrote The Lord is blessing him Hold up, Hold up thank you Jesus [Cheers and applause] That sweet sweet spirit
