VERSE 1:It was a little white church just down the roadOn a Sunday afternoon that was bitterly coldThe preacher full of fire and brimstone spokeGiving no comfort to hearts that were brokeHer family was shattered, they'd just lost their MomTo an illness so cruel it kept holding onTill the doctors said there was nothing to doBut pray that God takes her one day very soon
CHORUS: He said, Hey, you might see this fine lady once againWhen you're in Heaven with the angels surrounded by friendsBut, you might meet the Devil himselfYou gotta save your soul and I can helpIf you don't get right with God, you'll be burnin' in Hell.If you don't get right with God, you'll be burnin' in Hell.He's The Preacher ManVERSE 3:From his pulpit he hammered and beat down the crowdShocked silence and fear were emotions allowedHe said, Eternal life can be within your graspIf you only believe and you follow the path.
CHORUS:
VERSE 4:When the preacher was finished, I sang my songOf hope and forgiveness, of righting the wrongsThere are some things that we don't understand,But I don't believe we'll forever be damned
CHORUS:
