God's Gonna Cut You Down - Live |
You may run home for a long time |
Run home for a long time |
You may run home for a long time |
Lemme tell you, God Almighty gonna cut you down |
Go tell that long tongued liar |
Go tell that midnight rider |
Tell the gambler, rambler, backbiter |
Tell 'em God Almighty gonna cut 'em down |
Stop, God Almighty, let me tell you the news |
My head been wet with the midnight dews |
Now I been down on my bended knees |
Talkin' to the Man from Galilee |
My God spoke, spoke so sweet |
I thought I heard the shuffle of angels' feet |
He put one hand upon my head |
Great God Almighty, let me tell you what He said |
Go tell that long tongued liar |
Go tell that midnight rider |
Tell the gambler, rambler, backbiter |
Tell 'em God Almighty gonna cut 'em down |
You may throw a rock, hide your hand |
Working in the dark against your fellow man |
Sure as God made the day and the 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 eyes |
But sure there is the rich and the poor |
You gonna reap, my brother, just what you sow |
You may run home for a long time |
Run home for a long time |
You may run home for a long time |
Let me tell you, God Almighty gonna cut you down |
Some people go to church just to signify |
Try to make a date with the neighbor’s wife |
But neighbor let me tell you just as sure as you’re born |
You better leave that woman, just leave her alone |
'Cause one of these days you just mark my word |
You’ll think your brother is gone to work |
You walk up, knock on the door |
That’s all brother, you’ll knock no more |
Go tell that long tongued liar |
Go tell that midnight rider |
Tell the gambler, rambler, backbiter |
Tell 'em God Almighty gonna cut 'em down |
