The Gospel according to Luke Lyrics

I will summon from his soul Songs of folk and rock and roll

A wear a blood, red, burning crown of thorns

I will kneel down in his name I am the keeper of the flame

And I will preach from Dublin to the brook The gospel according to Luke

I was born from an old church choir Baptised by a river of fire

Raging angels coursing through my veins

And me da told me, son, Kelly is the only one

The sun is Burning and every time it rains

Like a slave unto that sound Followed him to holy ground

Hallowed places I have never known

Just like water into wine Turned my spirit into mine

Watched it fill me cup to overflow

I will summon from his soul Songs of folk and rock and roll

A wearer of blood, red burning crown of thorns

I will kneel down in his name I am the keeper of the flame

And I will preach from Dublin to the brook The gospel according to Luke

Prais the lord I did rejoice When I heard that sacred voice

Reach deep inside me till I screamed Amen

I was ready for revival So hand me down me Bible

And lead me to salvation once again

I will summon from his soul Songs of folk and rock and roll

A wearer of blood, red burning crown of thorns

I will kneel down in his name I am the keeper of the flame

And I will preach from Dublin to the brook The gospel according to Luke

Should I fall or should I falter Lay me down upon his altar

Saints of Baggott street come to my aid Point me in the right direction

I am ready for redemption

I will summon from his soul Songs of folk and rock and roll

A wearer of blood, red burning crown of thorns

I will kneel down in his name I am the keeper of the flame

And I will preach from Dublin to de book The gospel according to Luke

Oh, the gospel according to Luke
