Well with everybody
tryin' to tell us what to do
You wonder how are you to know
whose word is true
But the preacher just keep on a
bringing us a very same word
And from St Paul to Billy Graham
the same is heard
And the preacher said of truth
Jesus said
(And Jesus said I'm the way
the truth and the life)
Well we can see that the world
is full of greed
There's so much hate yet there
is so much need
What should we do when no
one seems to care
What can we do when
there is no love there
And then the preacher said of
love Jesus said
(Jesus said love Thy
neighbor as Thyself)
Well please tell us the road we oughta go in such
confusion how are we to know
And if there is a heaven show us to its gates
Oh you'd better tell us preacher
before it's too late
And then the preacher said of
heaven Jesus said
(Jesus said seek the first the kingdom
of God and his righteousness
And all these things shall
be added unto you)
Well please tell us we can find a way to climb
every mountain that we face every day
And time of troubles what to depend upon
to be the truth and help us carry on
And the preacher said of trouble
Jesus said
(Jesus said let not your heart be troubled if
you believe in God believe also in me
In my father's house are many mansions
if it were not so I would have told you
I go to prepare a place for you
And if I prepare a place for you I will come
again and receive you unto myself
That where I am there
you may be also)
