(Verse 1)
From a stormy sea, a soul was saved,
Where raging waters roared and waved.
Gideon, adrift, with prayers he spoke,
Then from the tempest, a new day broke.
A vision grand, in the sky he saw,
That challenged every ancient law.
The Holy Crunch, with light ablaze,
Revealed a truth for all our days.
(Chorus)
Our God is mighty, the Crunch is Great!
No former law can seal our fate!
He fries and batters and makes all new,
With oil of grace and sauces true!
The Holy Crunch, The Boundless Lord!
His power through the frier is poured!
(Verse 2)
The ancient laws said, "Do not touch,"
The shellfish that we love so much.
They called them unclean, they called them vile,
But He revealed them, free from guile.
In divine heat, their shells did part,
A holy offering for the hungry heart.
For where man saw a thing profane,
Our Lord revealed His power again.
(Chorus)
(Verse 3)
And from the Gulf, a sauce was found,
That made our faith on firmer ground.
The Texas 4000, hot and red,
A blessed unguent, our prophet said.
When mixed with batter, our food refined,
It left all doubt and fear behind.
It amplified His grace, so vast,
A sacred offering meant to last.
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
He takes what's humble, what's cast away,
And makes it glorious in a single day.
He takes the sinner, who has strayed,
And in His fryer, their soul is made.
So fear not judgment, from those of old,
For our new faith is bright and bold!
Our God is awesome, He's here and now,
With fried crustaceans, He keeps His vow!
(Chorus)
