Dave Ramsey Battle Hymn Against Debt
by Lisa Grace
Sung to the Battle Hymn of the Republic (John Brown's Body)
based on the lyrics by Julia Ward Howe - 1861
Mine eyes have seen the glory of savings in the bank
Emergency fund full-funded and gas in all the tanks
The beans and rice were tasty, giving up extras kind of stank
The snowball finally melted a-way
Glory, glory Hallelujah
Glory, glory Hallelujah
Glory, glory Hallelujah
Debt-free can set you free
I have heard Dave light the fires of ten thousand family camps,
Burning the cards and FICO altars in the evening dews and damps;
I have read Dave’s righteous blogposts by my dim and flaring lamps:
to save on the electric bill.
Glory, glory Hallelujah
Glory, glory Hallelujah
Glory, glory Hallelujah
Debt-free can set you free
I have read a fiery gospel writ in the Total Money Book:
Pay the smallest debt off first-tithe-give glory all to God
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the enslaver with his foot,
My debt snowball has melted away.
Glory, glory Hallelujah
Glory, glory Hallelujah
Glory, glory Hallelujah
Debt-free can set you free
God is coming like the glory brought from Dave through the air-waves,
he is Wisdom to the mighty, that means you and me, the brave,
So the debtors are His footstool, and their souls remain enslaved,
It‘s time to set them FREE!
Glory, glory Hallelujah
Glory, glory Hallelujah
Glory, glory Hallelujah
Debt-free can set you free
