Mavis Staples You Must Have That True Religion Lyrics

There been slow, but there been sure, Hallelu, Hallelu
There been slow, but there been sure!, Hallelu!,
Hallelu!
There been slow, but there been sure,
When they come, come body, my soul
Then you must have that true religion, Hallelu, Hallelu

Then you must have that true religion, Hallelu, Hallelu
Then you must have that true religion!, Hallelu!,
Hallelu!
Then you must have that true religion,
True religion then your soul converted
Then you must have that true religion, Hallelu, Hallelu

Then you must have a doctor then the doctor come,
Hallelu, Hallelu
Then you have a doctor then the doctor come!, Hallelu!,
Hallelu!
Send for the doctor, and the doctor come,
Doctor said son can you save my son,
That you would have that true religion, Hallelu,
