[Verse 1] Children we have seen tonight, Dancin’ in that candlelight, Snow is fallin', church bells ring, Feel that joy the angels sing— [Chorus] Glo-o-o-o-o-ria, she got soul and she let it shine! Glo-o-o-o-o-ria, heaven’s groove in Christmas time! [Verse 2] Star above the stable glows, Rhythm in the wind that blows. Mary hums a lullaby, While soul beats roll across the sky— [Chorus] Glo-o-o-o-o-ria, shake your tambourine and shout! Glo-o-o-o-o-ria, turn that holy spirit out! [Bridge – Breakdown with Claps & Call-Response] 🎤 “Who brought the light?” — “Gloria did!” 🎤 “Who brought the groove?” — “Heaven slid!” 🎤 “Who rocked the night?” — “That angel flight!” 🎤 “Now stomp your boots and feel that might!”* [Verse 3] Shepherds tapping out a beat, Marching through that snowy street. Ain’t no silence in that night, When Gloria brings the soul so right— [Final Chorus – Full Choir in Harmony] Glo-o-o-o-o-ria, in the name of peace and funk! Glo-o-o-o-o-ria, even grandma's gettin’ crunk! [Outro – Spoken Soulfully Over Vamp] “From Bethlehem to the back pew… from the manger to the block… We say let that Gloria groove roll on!”
