Joyful Noise
Not enough, not enough
Not enough love
Not enough, not enough
Not enough love
There's no room for hating
A heart full of kindness
How long will it take, then
For that to ring true?
Our chances are fading
Just stop all this blindness
A new world is waiting
For us if we do
- But there's not enough love in our hearts
- Not enough love in our hearts
They put it in movies
Our life would be better
With just enough love
- Still, we tend to doubt it
- Still, we tend to doubt it
- Though sometimes it moves us
- Though sometimes it moves us
- We settle for little
- We settle for little
When we could have much
'Cause there's not enough love
In our hearts
No, no
There's not enough love
There's not enough love
There's not enough love in our hearts
- There's not enough love
- There's not enough love
- There's not enough trust
- There's not enough trust
- And it doesn't keep us apart
- Keep us apart
- There's not enough caring
- There's not enough sharing
- Too much "me, me, me" and
- Too much double-daring
- There's too much delaying
- Oh, and not enough praying
I'm just saying It's not enough
Oh, no
I'm just saying It's not enough
Oh, oh!
Not enough, not enough
Not enough love
Not enough, not enough
Not enough trust
- Let's build a foundation
- And change situations
- Strive for salvation
- Heed this revelation
Fall on your knees
And avoiding temptation
I'm just saying
It's just not enough
Unh!
- No, it's not enough
- It's not enough
Not enough, not enough
Not enough love
Not enough, not enough
Not enough trust
- Not enough love
- Come on
Not enough love
- Darling, what's the matter?
- I'm okay.
- It's nothing.
- Something's wrong.
- I know you better than that.
- Vi, take over for me.
Passion in your hearts now
Come on, I'm taking you home.
- Down in our hearts
- Down in our hearts
- Not enough love
- Not enough love
- Down in our hearts
- Down in our hearts
- Not enough love
- Not enough love
- Down in our hearts
- Preach, choir
- Not enough love down in our hearts
- Speak on it, hey, hey, yeah
Friends...
...we are here today to celebrate
the memory of Bernard Sparrow.
Beloved husband, cherished father
and grandfather.
With his last breath...
...he led our choir to victory
in the regional semifinals.
Let the church say "Amen."
Amen.
Bernard loved life. And he knew
how to live it. Isn't that right, G.G.?
The man had five kids.
He must've loved something.
God judges a man on two things...
...and two things alone.
On his faith...
...and on the contents of his heart.
Amen.
And, Bernie, we will miss that heart
each and every day.
Ah.
- Please.
- Thank you.
Mm-hm.
Oh, it was a beautiful memorial service,
Pastor.
I saw your boys, but not your daughter
and her family.
Well, God gives you girls so your mama
can say, "I told you so."
The only thing that would've made it perfect
would have been if the choir had sung.
- But then there was no one to lead them.
- I think I know where this is going.
You need to replace Bernie
as soon as possible...
...so we can continue
in the competition.
I think he would've wanted that.
- Oh, I agree.
- Good.
Because the church council
...and we've decided to offer
the position to Vi Rose Hill.
Vi Rose?
Well, I mean, nothing against Vi Rose,
but I helped prepare every arrangement.
Vi Rose has been second-in-command
for a long time now.
Well, it is your decision, of course.
We're very appreciative at the church
of your generous support.
In fact, I don't think we'd be able
to stay open without you.
But...
...that's our decision.
Caleb, what is your country ass eating?
- Pig and pickle mash. You want some?
- Ugh, get that mess out of my face.
Caleb, you are so country...
...you have been married three times
and still have the same in-laws.
Ha-ha! She said he been married
three times and still got the same in-laws.
Small town, big family.
That's just the law of averages.
- He said, "That's just the law of averages."
- Devonne...
- ...do we look deaf to you?
- Oh!
Hey, there she is.
All right, heh, all right.
But, altos, y'all have to look at me
when y'all singing.
I know y'all feeling the spirit, but Jesus
don't know where the cut-offs are.
Look, you all sing as well as I know you can
and we finally gonna whoop Baylor Sykes...
...and that Detroit choir
in the national semifinals.
Pfft. We've been saying that
for four years.
Devonne, save time, see it my way.
Ooh.
Look, y'all, I know y'all miss Bernie.
So do I.
Those are some mighty big shoes to fill.
But I like to think he is right
on my shoulder...
...guiding my hands, urging us on.
What do y'all say?
Y'all with me?
- Pacashau, y'all with me?
- We with you.
Yeah.
- Pacashau.
- That's what I'm talking about.
Well, don't you look as happy
I did not ask to be made choir director.
Please, Vi, I have known you
for a minute.
The council chose me over you.
When foxes pack the jury box,
the chicken's always guilty.
And when folks get too wrapped up
in themselves...
...they make very small packages.
Olivia, go check on your brother.
He better not be in that car.
What are you doing out here?
It's freezing.
Why do you have those sunglasses on?
