White Dress

歌詞

Long before morning without a warning Annie came calling to little louisa Wearing the moonlight but wanting the sunlight She stood at her bedside and poured out her heart "get up and tell mama all that i said Because i can't move ahead unless i can get a white dress" Charlotte o'grady, a dear-hearted lady, She seemed nearly eighty years coming and going One night while she's dreaming Her mother comes pleading "charlotte, i'm needing your help to move on Now, don't wait for nothing, the moment is today Take up my name and see that i get a white dress" Mothers and daughters are shedding a tear Heaven's rejoicing as jesus draws near And it's like this They're getting their white dress In wichita, kansas, neddie and frances Bow over breakfast to start out the day When the voice of the spirit pays them a visit Says, "it's time to get with it, there's family to save Your fathers and mothers are biding their time They're waiting for you to help them get dressed up in white" Neddie and frances are filled with desire They're searching through records and feeling the fire And after each day's acquired It's up to god's mountain where white is applied And he in his robe and she in her gown They're doing their best to turn it around And they won't rest until all are in white dress Walking with jesus in white, wearing their white dress Walking with jesus in white, wearing their white dress Walking with jesus in white, wearing their white dress Walking with jesus in white, wearing their white dress Before the lord's coming, elijah's been stirring And fathers are turning to you and to me
