Description
Linda (my second wife) and I were driving up to Montana for a short vacation. My company, Alta Distributing in Salt Lake City, UT, was selling out to another company and all our accrued vacation time needed to be used up--so off we went to visit her mom up there. On the way, we stopped in a motel and while there, I began reading a Strange but True book of some sort. In it, there was this true story of a town that warded off Napoleon by merely ringing the bells of the church on Easter morn.
Lyrics
Let’s Ring the Bells for Jesus Christ by Vic Zarley 1. It happened in a mountain town Two hundred years ago Napoleon had gathered troops So ominous below This town was needed for his troops And it was quite a prize On Easter morn he’d take this town Before they realized (next verse) 2. The council met to talk about The town’s impending doom Everyone was nervous in that Tiny council room Surrender to Napoleon Or fight and hide the young A preacher stood and said, “Let’s do What we have never done!” (chorus) Chorus: Let’s ring the bells for Jesus Christ Let’s ring them loud and clear Let’s ring the bells outrageously Let’s ring away all fear Let’s ring the bells for Jesus Christ This lovely Easter morn Let’s ring the bells with all our might So we might be reborn 3. That Easter morn the sky was filled With bells that rang and rang That Easter morn the preacher led The people as they sang And then that army turned and fled Because the bells had rung They thought an army larger Than their own had finally come (chorus twice)
