STRANGE THINGS HAPPENING EVERY DAY
As sung by Sister Rosetta Tharpe, 1944.

Oh, we hear church people say
They are in this holy way.
There are strange things happ'ning every day.
On that last great judgment day,
When they drive them all the way,
There are strange things happ'ning every day.

CHORUS: Every day (ev'ry day),
Every day (ev'ry day),
There are strange things happ'ning every day (ev'ry day).
Every day (ev'ry day),
Every day,
There are strange things happ'ning every day.

If you want to view the crime(?),
You must learn to quit your lyin'.
There are strange things happ'ning every day.
If you hew right to the line,
You can live right all the time.
There are strange things happ'ning every day.

Jesus is the holy light,
Turning darkness into light.
There are strange things happ'ning every day.
Oh, he gave the blind man sight,
And he pledged(?) him with all his might.
There are strange things happ'ning ev'ry day.

CHORUS
