Theres No Food In This House

Sister says she's hungry, brother says he's hungry too
If daddy don't get a job real soon I don't know what we're gonna do
'Cause there's no food in this house there's no food in this house
My daddy's looking mighty worried since they cut off the pretty at the store.

I used to ask mom what's for supper now I don't ask anymore
'Cause there's no food in this house, there's no food in this house
Daddy's been off from work now, two months and a day
Mama she don't say nothing but last night I heard her pray.

Oh Lord, please do something, something mighty fast
Too many babies are hungry, I don't know how long we can last
'Cause there's no food in this house, there's no food in this house
The people from the church came by last night and brought
A big basket of food.

I guess mama's prayers were answered, it's strange how the Lord does move
'Cause we got food in this house, now we got food in this house
Now when we say the blessings we thank him for the food in this house
We thank him for the food in this house, we thank him for the food in this house.

We thank him for the food in this house...
