The Louvin Brothers - Preach the Gospel

Preach preach preach preach the gospel
Trust God He'll give you words to say
Preach preach preach preach the gospel
Pray that God will have His way

I can't enjoy my bible
Just reading here and there
I like to take it as it comes
And never skip a line

No need to read the verses
That say you'll enter in
If you don't like the ones
That reads you must be born again

Preach preach preach preach the gospel
Trust God He'll give you words to say
Preach preach preach preach the gospel
Pray that God will have His way

I fear we have some preaches
Well thought of in their church
Who change the text God chose for them
Afraid of who'll they'll hurt

They'd like to take the scripture
That's easy on the soul
Afraid they'll lose their job
If they get on some members toes

Preach preach preach preach the gospel
Trust God He'll give you words to say
Preach preach preach preach the gospel
Pray that God will have His way

Back yonder sits a member
The preacher tells himself
He's never missed a service
Since I've been the pastor here

I'm led to mention whiskey
Of how it dims your soul
But since he drinks a little
I'd be getting on his toes

Preach preach preach preach the gospel
Trust God He'll give you words to say
Preach preach preach preach the gospel
Pray that God will have His way
