Song Lyrics


It Runs In The Family
by The Collingsworth Family

Album: Mercy & Love


People wonder 'bout my happy face
While I'm walking through a world of hate
They wanna know about my singing voice
And where I learn to make a joyful noise

They wanna know why I am calm
When everything's wrong
A new talk in how to sing a victory song
When they ask me how about to be this way
I look them in the eye and say

It runs in the family
It's joy that keeps me laughin'
It's the old time religion
A holy family tradition
From the Heavenly Father
To all the sons and all the daughters
If you wondering why we're happy
It runs in the family

If you're wondering what you've got to do
To make this joy come alive in you
It's really easy just look again
In the book of some distant kin
Remember Silas and Paul shock the jail house walls
And turned it into a concert hall
By calling His name in the midnight hour
We've got the very same power

Now I can smile when I'm in trouble
I can have hope when I'm in pain
The Father sends joy on the double
And the blood of Jesus Christ
Flows in my veins

It runs in the family
It's joy that keeps me laughing
It's the old time religion
An only family tradition
From the Heavenly Father
To all the sons and all the daughters
If you wonder why we're happy
It runs in the family
From the Heavenly Father
To all the sons and all the daughters
If you wonder why we're happy
We so happy, yes we'll happy
It runs, runs in the family
