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 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
I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet,
He called my name and my heart stood still
When 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 hand
Workin' 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
