The chorus to this song came to my mind several times today. When I looked it up, I saw that there were actually verses to this song.
Evidently, this song is very popular and has been sung by many people including Harry Belafonte, who recorded it in 1963.
However, I was even more impressed to realize that the verses to this song were about Mary’s Baby, Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
And so, here are the words to Amen.
Chorus
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen.
Sing it over
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen.
Verse 1
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen.
Sing it over
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen.
