Subject: Lyr Add: PREACH THE GOSPEL (Louvin Brothers)
You can hear this at YouTube. There is still a gap in verse 2 where I couldn't decipher the lyrics:
PREACH THE GOSPEL
Louvin Brothers
CHORUS: Preach (preach), preach (preach), preach the gospel.
Trust God. He'll give you words to say.
Preach (preach), preach (preach), preach the gospel.
Regardless who it hurts, pray that God will have His way.
1. I can't enjoy my Bible just readin' here and there.
I like to take it as it comes and never skip a line.
No need to read the verses that say you'll enter in.
If you don't like the one that reads, you must be born again.
2. I fear we have some preachers, well thought of in their church,
Who change the text God chose for them, afraid of who they'll hurt.
They'd like to pick the scripture that ... soul,
Afraid they'll lose their job if they get on the members' toes.
3. Back yonder sets a member, the preacher tells himself,
He's never missed a service since I've been the pastor here.
I'm led to mention whiskey, of how it dims your soul,
But since he drinks a little, I'd be gettin' on his toes.
