[Intro with church choir singing]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah oh God we sing,

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah oh Lord we sing,

We sing for you,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah oh Lord we sing,
We sing for you, ooooooo
[Electric Guitar]
[Verse]
Mr. Preacher Man, you came to me,
When I was down, when I was weak,
Lost my job, my love walked away,
Death in the family, life turned to gray.
You spoke of hope, you spoke of light,
Said God's love would make it right,
You saw my tears, my silent cries,
Promised heaven beyond the skies.
[Chorus]
Oh, Mr. Preacher Man, what’s the plan?
Is it faith or just a scam?
You sell the word, you sell the dream,
Is it love or just a scheme?
God loves me for who I am,
Not for my tithe to your grand plan.
[Verse]
You took my hand, led me through the door,
Said I'd find peace, said I'd find more,
But now you want ten percent,
Of every dollar, every cent.
Special candles, holy wear,
Funds to build churches everywhere,
Say if I don’t, I'll be alone,
But God’s love can't be bought or sold.
[Chorus]
Oh, Mr. Preacher Man, what’s the plan?
Is it faith or just a scam?
You sell the word, you sell the dream,
Is it love or just a scheme?
God loves me for who I am,
Not for my tithe to your grand plan.
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
You gave me hope in my darkest night,
But now I see the guiding light,
God’s love is free, it’s all around,
It’s in my heart, it’s in the sound.
[Verse]
Your family, your church, your way,
Is just a means to make me pay,
But I’ve found faith, I’ve found my way,
I don’t need your price to pray.
[Chorus]
Oh, Mr. Preacher Man, what’s the plan?
Is it faith or just a scam?
You sell the word, you sell the dream,
Is it love or just a scheme?
God loves me for who I am,
Not for my tithe to your grand plan.
[Outro]
Mr. Preacher Man, I’ve opened my eyes,
Seen through the words, seen through the lies,
God’s love is pure, God’s love is true,
And it’s not something I have to buy from you.
[Church choir singing]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah oh God we sing,
We sing for you,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah oh Lord we sing,
We sing for you,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah oh God we sing,
We sing for you,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah oh Lord we sing,
We sing for you, ooooooo
[Fade Out]
[End]
[Outro]
Mr. Preacher Man, I’ve opened my eyes,
Seen through the words, seen through the lies,
God’s love is pure, God’s love is true,
And it’s not something I have to buy from you.
[Church choir singing]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah oh God we sing,
We sing for you,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah oh Lord we sing,
We sing for you,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah oh God we sing,
We sing for you,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah oh Lord we sing,
We sing for you, ooooooo
[Fade Out]
