lyrics

First church of the Nazarene
Just an old brick box on 6th street
with some plain old folks who like to sing
Amazing grace

Sittin in the pew just a little kid
Singin it loud 'cause that's how my dad did
Don't recall what the preacher said
But those songs, they stayed

Gimme them cedars of lebanon
just an old guitar and a gospel song
Its alright if its all wrong
You don't hafta sing in tune

No one on your radio
Ever came from idaho
But California's on the phone
Asking where you been

I hid out west with my bluegrass band
Doin what i understand
With a Martin box and my best friends
And those songs from back when

Chorus

But it all started there
With a woman at the piano playin by ear
And an old hymn book you didn't need
Those song you didn't hafta learn to sing
You just opened up your mouth and they were there
A hundred hallalujahs in the air

And lover, lover tell me twice
Do you think that I sing nice?
Are my vices worth the price
Of pretty music
Say I'm right, say I'm wrong
But I found my own shortcut to Zion
Makin wine from dandelions
And I'll share some with you

Chorus

Gimme them cedars of lebanon
Just a late night and a guitar song
It's alright if it's all wrong
You don't have to sing in tune
