The other day, I heard a song with

"If you cannot pray like Peter, if you cannot preach like Paul;
Go home and tell your neighbor, He died to save us all.

-but it wasn't Balm in Gilead the song I know that has that verse. A search led me to this page (click) at a Kingston Trio site - but the song is by Lou Gottlieb, so I'm putting it with the Limeliters. Anybody know of a Limeliters recording of this song?

'Round About the Mountain
(Lou Gottlieb)

'Round about the mountain.
'Round about the mountain.
My God is waitin'. You can rise in His arms.
My God is waitin'. You can rise in His arms.

Chorus:
The Lord loves a sinner.
The Lord loves a sinner man.
The Lord loves a sinner
who will rise in His arms.

I would not be a sinner. I'll tell you the reason why.
If the Lord should want me, I would not be ready to die!
I tell you fellow members, things happen mighty strange.
The Lord was good to Israel and His ways don't ever change.

Chorus

Sometimes I feel discouraged and think my works in vain,
but then the Holy Spirit revives my soul again.
If you can't pray like Peter, if you can't preach like Paul,
go home and tell your neighbor that He died to save us all.

Chorus

'Round about the mountain.
'Round about the mountain.
My God is waitin'. You can rise in His arms.

The Lord loves a sinner.
The Lord loves a sinner man.
The Lord loves a sinner who will rise in His arms.
