Hello
Rhett And Link Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

If your pain is heavy
And shame keeps pulling you back
If you've looked for answers
That the world don't have

Come on down to the tent revival
Come and wade in the water blue
Come and feel that heavenly fire
Falling down on you

(Say goodbye) to the worn and weary
(Say hello) to the brand new you
Hear that gospel song playing on and on
Sticking to your soul like glue
(Say goodbye) to the sin that held you
(Feel that love) wash it all away
You can let it go and say hello
To the power of Jesus' name
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey)

You can walk in freedom
You can dance on the solid rock
You can rest in the victory
That Jesus already won

Come on down to the tent revival
Come and wade in the water blue
Come and feel that heavenly fire
Falling down on you

(Say goodbye) to the worn and weary
(Say hello) to the brand new you
Hear that gospel song playing on and on
Sticking to your soul like glue
(Say goodbye) to the sin that held you
(Feel that love) wash it all away
You can let it go and say hello
To the power of Jesus' name
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey)

Whom the Son sets free, is free indeed
Whom the Son sets free, is free indeed
No, there ain't no chains gonna tie these feet
Whom the Son sets free, is free indeed

(Say goodbye) to the worn and weary
(Say hello) to the brand new you
Hear that gospel song playing on and on
Sticking to your soul like glue
(Say goodbye) to the sin that held you
(Feel that love) wash it all away
You can let it go and say hello
To the power of Jesus' name
(Hey, hey, hey)




(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey) Ooh, the power of Jesus' name

I like how Rhett is just reading a Sudoku book at the end. Not solving puzzles, just reading it.

He’s solving them in his mind. He’s just that smart.

This song combines so many of my favorite things: Rhett and Link, a groovy bass line, aliens and Canada. It doesn't get much better than this.
