Sermon |
| Let me set the mood, set the situation |
| Imagine that you’re sittin' in the congregation |
| Hey, he’s talkin' 'bout Judgment Day |
| If you listen real close, hear what he say |
| You may run on for a long time |
| Run on for a long time |
| May run on for a long time |
| But let me tell you God Almighty’s gonna cut you down |
| Go 'n' tell that long-term liar |
| Go 'n' tell that midnight rider |
| Tell the gambler, rambler, backbiter |
| Tell him God Almighty gonna cut him down |
| Great God Almighty, let me tell you my need |
| Yes, my head’s been wet with the midnight deed |
| I been down on my bended knee |
| Talkin' to the man from Galilee |
| My God spoke, spoke so sweet |
| I thought I heard the shufflin' of angel feet |
| He put one hand on my head |
| Great God Almighty let me tell you what he said |
| You may run on for a long time |
| Run on for a long time |
| May run on for a long time |
| Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down |
| You may throw the rock, hide your hand |
| Workin' in the dark against your fellow man |
| But sure as God made the day and night |
| What you do in the dark will be brought to light |
| You may run and hide, slip and slide |
| Try to take the mote from your neighbor’s eye |
| But sure as the Lord made the rich and poor |
| What you reap, my brother, is what you sow |
| You may run on for a long time |
| Run on for a long time |
| Run on for a long time |
| But let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down |
| Some people go to church just to signify |
| They try to make a date with their neighbor’s wife |
| But let me tell you, brother, just as sure as your born |
| Better leave that woman, better leave her alone |
| One of these days just mark my words |
| You think that your brother’s gone off to work |
| You’ll walk up and knock on the door |
| That’s all, brother, there ain’t no more |
| (Swing low, sweet chariot) |
| You may run on for a long time |
| Run on for a long time |
| May run on for a long time |
| But let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down |
| Go 'n' tell that midnight rider |
| Go 'n' tell that long-term liar |
| Tell the rambler, gambler, backbiter |
| Tell him God Almighty gonna cut him down |
| Amen |
