Refrain: I’m a hallelujah Christian, I’m so happy all the time; I sing, and shout, and leap for joy, And oh, it is sublime. 2 I came to Jordan’s river, When the current was so strong; I jumped right in and came straight thro’, With a hallelujah song. [Refrain] 3 Oh, then I came to Jericho, And the walls they were so high; I gave a shout, and down they came, And the Canaanites did fly. [Refrain] 4 I met the giants of the land, They were so great and tall; I pierced them with the sword of truth, And the Anakims did fall. [Refrain] 5 I’m dwelling now in Beulah, Where the sun shines all the time; I live on figs, and grapes, and corn, In a hallelujah clime. [Refrain] 6 And when the Bridegroom comes again, And the trump sounds loud and long; We’ll meet our Savior in the clouds, With a hallelujah song. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [I’m a hallelujah Christian]
