You can run on for a long time, (Eb5)run on for a (Bb5)long time, run on for a long time. (CN.C.)Soon er or lat er got ta cut you down. Soon er or lat er, got ta cut you (Bb5)down. Go tell that long tongued li ar, go and tell that mid night (Bb5)rid er, tell the ram bl er, the gam bl er, the back bit er, (CN.C.)tell ’em that God’s gon na cut ’em down. Tell ’em that God’s gon na cut ’em (Bb5)down. Well, my good ness gra cious, let me tell you the news: my head’s been wet with the mid night dew. I’ve been down on bend ed knee, talk in’ to the Man from Gal i lee. He spoke to me in a voice so sweet, I thought I heard the shuf fle of the an gels’ feet. He called my name and my heart stood still when He said, “John, go do My will.” Go You can run on for a long time, (Eb5)run on for a (Bb5)long time, run on for a long time. (CN.C.)Soon er or lat er got ta cut you down. Soon er or lat er, got ta cut you (Bb5)down. Well, you may throw your rock and hide your hand, work in’ in the dark a gainst your fel low 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, (Eb5)run on for a (Bb5)long time, run on for a long time. (CN.C.)Soon er or lat er got ta cut you down. Soon er or lat er, got ta cut you (Bb5)down. Go tell that long tongued li ar, go and tell that mid night (Bb5)rid er, tell the ram bl er, the gam bl er, the back bit er, (CN.C.)tell ’em that God’s gon na cut you down. Tell ’em that God’s gon na cut you down. Tell ’em that God’s gon na cut you (Bb5)down.
