Well, you got to move, (solo)
Move, move. Move, move. (group)
You got to move, (solo)
Move, move. (group)
You got to move, (solo)
Move, move. (group)
Sure got to move, (solo)
Move, move. (group)
[Group continues singing “Move” behind leader.]
Walk in the Lord,
Yeah, walk with him.
Church got to move.

You may be rich,
You may be poor.
You may be stepping high,
Don’t want to go on (?).
But when the Lord,
(Yes) the Lord says,
Sure got to move,
You got to move,
You got to move,
You got to move.
Sure got to move,
‘Cause when the Lord,
Yes, the Lord says,
Sure got to move.
