One Hell of an Amen Lyrics

Preacher said he died too young
Over there totin' that gun
For Uncle Sam and our freedom
Mom and Daddy dressed in black
They folded up that flag
Handed it to dad, and started prayin'
Yeah, and he went out twenty one guns blazin'

And that's one hell of an amen
That's the only way to go
Fightin' the good fight
'Til the good Lord calls you home
So be well, my friend
'Til I see you again
Yeah, and this is our last goodbye
And it's a hell of an amen
Amen

Doctor said he ain't got long
He just smiled and said "Bring it on
Well, if you think I'm scared
You got me all wrong"
"No, a little cancer can't break me
My heart's right and I believe"
We all hit our knees
And started prayin'
Lord, he never gave up
Just said, "The good Lord's waitin'"

And, that's one hell of an amen
That's the only way to go
Fightin' the good fight
'Til the good Lord calls you home
So be well my friend
'Til I see you again
Yeah, this is our last goodbye
It's a hell of an amen, oh

So be well my friend
'Til I see you again
This is our last goodbye
And it's a hell of an amen
Amen
That's a hell of an amen

What is the Meaning of One Hell of an Amen?

In Brantley Gilbert's poignant narrative, the song explores themes of honor, bravery, and resilience in the face of mortality. The lyrics recount two distinct but parallel stories: a young soldier who dies serving his country and a cancer patient facing terminal illness with unwavering faith. Both individuals embody the essence of fighting 'the good fight' until their final moments, reflecting an admirable acceptance of fate and a steadfast belief in higher purpose. The repeated refrain "one hell of an amen" underscores the profound respect for these lives well-lived and their dignified departures. This phrase serves as a powerful tribute to those who confront death with courage and integrity, highlighting the ultimate sanctity of life's end when met with valor and grace.
