God's Gonna Cut You Down lyrics

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
