The Blind Boys of Alabama - Run On lyrics

First up, great God, let me tell you the news My head got wet with the midnight dew I've been down on bended knee Talkin' to the man from Galilee Then my God spoke and he sounded so sweet I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet Then he put one hand upon my head Great God almighty let me tell you what he said: Go tell that long tongue liar Go tell that midnight rider Tell the gambler, the rambler, the back biter Tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down You may run on for the long time Run along for the long time Run along for the long time Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down You may run on for the long time Run along for the long time Run along for a long time Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand Work in the dark against your fellow man But as sure as God made rich and poor You gonna reap just what you sow Some people go to church just to signify Tryin' to get a date with the neighbor's wife But listen to me brother, sure as you're born You better leave that woman alone Cause one of these days, you mark my word You think that brother is goin' to work You're gonna come up and knock on the door That's all brother, you'll knock no more You may run on for the long time Run along for the long time Run along for the long time Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down First up, great God, let me tell you the news My head got wet with the midnight dew I've been down on bended knee Talkin' to the man from Galilee God he spoke, he spoke so sweet I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet Then he put one hand upon my head Great God almighty let me tell you what he said: Go tell that long tongue liar Go tell that midnight rider Tell the gambler, the rambler, the back biter Tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down You may run on for the long time Run along for a long time Run along for a long time Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down You may run on for the long time Run along for a long time Run along for a long time Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down You may run on for the long time Run along for a long time Run along for a long time Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down You may run on for the long time Run along for a long time Run along for a long time Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down You may run on for the long time Go tell that long tongue liar Go tell that midnight rider Tell the gambler, the rambler, the back biter Tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down
