Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Old straw hat on the dashboard Grandma’s pie in the back seat Cooler full of sweet tea sweating Dust cloud rolling to the creek Kids kick off their Sunday sandals Bare feet chasing through the grass Aunties laughing at the shoreline Let the world turn slow at last [Chorus] Hallelujah by the water Family gathered knee‑deep in the stream Voices rising with the robins Like a front‑porch revival dream We got grace on this old gravel road We got love in every heartbeat Thank you, Lord, for springtime mercy And this hallelujah down by the creek (oh yeah) [Verse 2] Uncle Joe strums that old six‑string Sings a verse he halfway knows Mama hums a higher harmony Sunlight dancing on her clothes Little hands skip rocks in rhythm Granddad wipes his smiling eyes Says, “Kids, this here is heaven A piece of it, anyhow” [Chorus] Hallelujah by the water Family gathered knee‑deep in the stream Voices rising with the robins Like a front‑porch revival dream We got grace on this old gravel road We got love in every heartbeat Thank you, Lord, for springtime mercy And this hallelujah down by the creek (hallelujah) [Bridge] Boys on the rope swing, girls in their jeans Sunburned shoulders, grass‑stained knees Passing down prayers and old melodies From my folks to these babies to me (mmm) [Chorus] Hallelujah by the water Family gathered knee‑deep in the stream Voices rising with the robins Like a front‑porch revival dream We got grace on this old gravel road We got love in every heartbeat Thank you, Lord, for springtime mercy And this hallelujah down by the creek Thank you, Lord, for springtime mercy For this hallelujah down by the creek (hey!)
