Lyrics:
God's Gonna Cut You Down
GOD'S GONNA CUT YOU DOWN
CHORUS 1 (2X)
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
CHORUS 2
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
VERSE 1
Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
I've been down on bended knee talkin' to the man from Galilee
He spoke to me in the voice so sweet
VERSE 2
I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet
When he said, "John, go do my will!"
He called my name and my heart stood still
When he said, "John, go do my will!"
CHORUS 2
CHORUS 1
VERSE 3
Well, you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's down in the dark will be brought to the light
CHORUS 1
CHORUS 2

Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
