Well my goodness gracious,
Bbm
let me tell you the news.
Bbm
My heads been wet with the midnight dew.
Bbm
I've been down on bended knee,
Bbm
talkin to the man from Galiee.
Bbm
He spoke to me in a voice so sweet,
Bbm
I thought I heard the shuffle of angels feet.
Bbm
He called my name and my heart stood still,
Bbm           N.C
When He said "John go do my will"

Go and tell that long tongue liar,

You can throw your rock, hide your hand,

Workin in the dark against your fellow man.

What's done in the dark,
Bbm
Will be brought to the light.
