He is religious and very sensitive On his wall is a picture of the Lord He wipes the dust from the Bible And he happily distributes the Communion
He loves the boys in the choir They keep their souls pure But the tenor worries him So he must be closest to him On his nightstand, quiet and wordless A picture of the Lord He slowly turns it around
When the church clock strikes twice Hallelujah He folds his hands for prayer Hallelujah He has lived without a wife Hallelujah So he must love his neighbour Hallelujah
The young man is allowed to live with him The sin nests above the leg So he gladly helps to exorcize it By music and candlelight
When the church clock strikes twice Hallelujah He folds his hands for prayer Hallelujah He has lived without a wife Hallelujah So he must love his neighbour Hallelujah
When the church clock strikes twice Hallelujah He takes the boy into his prayers Hallelujah He is a true Christian Hallelujah And he knows what charity is Hallelujah
