On a road down to Damascus
Saul journeyed that mid day
On his way to arrest the saints of God
For praising Jesus' name
Then a light shone down from Heaven
He heard the voice of Jesus say
"Saul, Saul why do you persecute me
Ain't it hard to be that way"
Then he stood up and he said,
"Lord, what will you have me do?"
"I want you to preach my gospel Paul
Until I'm through with you
You'll be a light unto the Gentiles
Every nation, king, and queen
And you'll become the greatest preacher man
This world has ever seen"
Paul the apostle
Spread the gospel across the land
And everywhere that he would go
He'd boldly take a stand
Paul the apostle
He supplied the churches needs
They're written down in the Bible
And they're there for us to read
Paul started out to preach God's words
And gladly risk his life
They beat him and they stoned him
And they left him there to die
Many times he suffered shipwreck
Many nights he spent in jail
The Devil always tried to stop old Paul
But it was to no avail
In a letter addressed to Timothy
From a prison house in Rome
Paul knew the time was nearing
For him to take his journey home
He said, "I've fought a good fight
I've kept the faith, my departure is at hand
There's a crown of righteousness laid up
For me in the promised land
Paul the apostle
Spread the gospel across the land
And everywhere that he would go
He'd boldly take a stand
Paul the apostle
He supplied the churches needs
They're written down in the Bible
And they're there for us to read
Paul the apostle
Spread the gospel across the land
And everywhere that he would go
He'd boldly take a stand
Paul the apostle
He supplied the churches needs
They're written down in the Bible
And they're there for us to read
They're written down in the Bible
And they're there for us to read
