God's Gonna Cut You Down
You can run on for a long time,Run on for a long time,Run on for a long time,Sooner or later God'll cut you down,Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Go tell that long tongue liar,Go and tell that midnight rider,Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter,Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down,Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Well, my goodness gracious, let me tell you the newsMy head's been wet with the midnight dewI've been down on bended kneeTalkin' to the man from Galilee,He spoke to me in the voice so sweetI thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet,He called my name and my heart stood stillWhen he said, "John go do My will!"
Go tell that long tongue liar,Go and tell that midnight rider,Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter,Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down,Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
You can run on for a long time,Run on for a long time,Run on for a long time,Sooner or later God'll cut you down,Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Well you may throw your rock and hide your handWorkin' in the dark against your fellow man,But as sure as God made black and white,What's done in the dark will be brought to the light
You can run on for a long time,Run on for a long time,Run on for a long time,Sooner or later God'll cut you down,Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Go tell that long tongue liar,Go and tell that midnight rider,Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter,Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down,Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down,Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
