Lend an ear an' you'll see
"Cause when it comes t' needin' savin' ain' nobody
Knows it better than me
I was so low that I know that only a miracle like this is
The only way t' heavenly bliss
It's really the truth, Lawdy, I know it
I know it cause I been taken through it
Now the spirits in me an' allowed the Lord
T'win me, I can testify to it

(Yeah) - Hear that preacher spread the word
(Hear that Preacher)
'Cause its the greatest word you ever heard
He's our teacher
When he says "I'm callin' sinners right now you hear?
I'm callin' sinners right to me"
When ol' Satan grabs your soul
When he grabs you
It takes the Lord's true word to break his hold,
Trouble nabs you
So I say, "You got to listen mostly to me.
You got to listen closely."
Don't let the devil catch y' nappin'
Gotta' keep the vigil every minute
Or the devil surely git you
"Watch your step 'n how you act
Watch what you do
Mister Scratch is here, an' that's a fact
He wants you too
If anyone can stop him, I can
That's why I'm the Preacher Man"
We hear the word
We hear your voice
We know there really isn't any other choice
Head f'heaven t'day
(We're on the gospel train)
We can show you the way
(Relieve all strain)
Leave your cares and your woes
(Yes!)
Heaven knows
(Yes!)
Y' dodge that devil in his fine fancy clothes
(Yes!)
Come git aboard
(We still got space)
Hear the word of the Lord
(We saved your place)
Save your soul while y'can
(Yes!)
Sinner man
(Yes!)
Git on as fast as you can
(Repeat)
You've heard the sermon sublime
Down South Camp Meetin' time!
