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 will cut you down 
 
Go tell that long tongue liar 
Go and tell that midnight rider 
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter 
Tell them that God's gonna cut themem 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!" 
 
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
